THURSDAY 13th NOVEMBER 2025

FUND RAISING EVENING

St Elizabeth Centre at Much Hadham

AT THE BELGIAN BREWER

6 Acts 4 Songs

Hello Acoustic Clubbers

Last time at the Belgian Brewer we were delighted to feature 6 wonderful acts all of whom have graced the stage at the Acoustic Club over the years. As an added bonus, we were able to raise £300 for St Elizabeths Centre in Much Hadham so many thanks to all who contributed to this wonderful Charity.

 

Our featured 6 Acts gave us the full range of their talent for which we were all hugely entertained.

 

Abela Brothers

The Abela Brothers are a duo who have spent many years writing and developing their own music. They are writers of incredible music that has been commissioned for shows, revues and West End spectacular musical evenings. Their set was a Masterclass of writing as their original songs are superb. Heartfelt and memorable delivered in their unique style was a cracking opening to the evening.

   

Dan Titus

Dan Titus is an original performer. His songs that are enormously entertaining as well as meaningful and are a bit of a wakeup call to the audience. Dan is always a player we love to hear and is one of those multi-talented players who are always welcome at the Club. Last time he gave us a preview of his recently released EP as well a the first performance of a new song. A cracking set from a cracking player.

 

Tom Ryder

There are few things that are certain in life. One of these is that if we need someone to fill a spot at the Club, Tom Ryder will always help us out, sometimes at very short notice. This was the case last time and at the drop of a hat, Tom gave us a set of music that was just beautiful. He is an all-around talent that encompasses writing, singing and playing guitar. He gave us originals and a cover that re-enforces his position as a tremendous performer

  

riverrats

riverrats gave us a superb set of original stomping, hard hitting songs. Their music was contemporary, unfussy and superb. Their unembellished sound gave us originality and ability, they have lots and lots of both to spare. A tremendous live act.

 

Elliot Porter

A couple of weeks ago Elliot launched his latest musical offering “I choose the Moon” an EP of 6 wonderful tracks of new music. Elliot gave us a preview with 4 songs taken from the EP with, as an added treat, backing vocals from his partner Jess. Together they brought a refreshing view of the “Porter World” which was, as ever, full of unique music perfectly delivered.

 

  

Cut the Mustard

Defying compartmentalisation Dave and Martin gave us a wide ranging and eclectic set featuring blues and ragtime. Dave has a sensational voice as well as providing accompaniment with various percussion instruments and plays a fine blues harp. Martin is a master guitar player who specialises in a finger-picking style based on the claw hammer style but very definitely his own and proved he is also a fine vocalist to boot. Together they make a complete sound that held the audience spellbound. They were fantastic closing to the highly entertaining and cracking evening of great music.

 

Many thanks to our 6 acts as they gave us a wonderful evening of live music.

Thanks to Nik and his staff at the Belgian Brewer for their hospitality and of course their wonderful beer and food.
