6 ACTS – 4 SONGS

 

Hello Acoustic Clubbers

Last time we were delighted to welcome 6 Acts who proved once again that the Acoustic Club is the place to be on a Thursday evening.

 

We were delighted to welcome and listen to 6 players who gave the audience a fine selection of both original songs, as well as some very welcome newly re-imagined favourites.

 

TERRY HISCOCK

Every time Terry appears on a stage, he illuminates it. He has many years of playing as a solo artist as well as a member of the much-respected Hunter Muskett.

Terry’s experience shines through as he introduces his songs in his laid back yet thoroughly engaging style. The absolute master of weaving words and tunes into beautiful songs with heart and meaning

 

 

 

MIKE NORMAN

Mike is a performer who relies on his ability to weave words into songs that entrance as well as involve his audience. He has the knack of finding subjects to write about that are relevant as well as easy on the ear. However the meaning is never lost

 

BILL TARRAN

Unfortunately a new to us player Katelan Perks was ill so Bill got the rare chance of a 4 song spot.

Digging into the depths of the 1970’s and 80’s he gave us songs from his past and friends who are masters of their craft, some of whom are still with us 50 years on!

 

 

 

COLIN FRID

Colin is one of our most frequent and most welcome players at the club.

 

He has a long history of playing little known songs from little known writers as well as the occasional song from his little black book of personal and remarkable songs.

 

As ever, he gave a polished and entrancing performance utilising his ability and experience to put his own unique stamp on each song.

 

CRAYON ANGELS

It has been said before and will be said again, we do not see or hear enough of Crayon Angels. They have a wonderful knack of being able to draw the audience into their special world with ease makes this  extremely accomplished band a delight to hear and see.

WE NEED MORE!!

 

 

 

 

PASS THE BUCH

Chris and Richard are not your usual 2 men with guitars duo. They are a one off. They play guitar and sing but they also put the guitars down or in Richards case, push it to his side and sing a Capelo. They have developed a unique sound and have a great talent for finding rarely heard songs.

They always to try something new and are highly entertaining in their performance.

 

 

Grateful thanks to Alex for his sterling work on the Sound Desk. Also, much appreciation to all the staff and volunteers who go to make the SMA such a wonderful welcoming venue.
