HEADLINE SHOWCASE

MIKE HAPPNINBOY

And YOUNG PLAYERS NIGHT

 

Hello Acoustic Clubbers

Tonight we are delighted to welcome not only the irrepressible Mike Happninboy for a long awaited Headline Showcase but we also welcome our Young Players.

 

It is fair to say that Mike Happninboy is a force of nature and a musical phenomenon in equal measure. Mike is not only a wonderful writer and performer, he also organises all sorts of musical events and evenings. He also is a member of the wonderful Blues Amigos and the legendary Blues Export.

It is easy to assume that from the names of the bands he is associated with, Blues will feature heavily in his set lists and his music. Well yes, he does do a few blues numbers, but that is not the whole story. He will do a five song 10 minute version of Hey Jude as easily as he will get down with some rocking blues.

Mike always is a leader of music and his vocals will quite simply knock you off your feet.

As a performer he is highly recommended.

 

Our supporting slots are filled, as is usual during half term, with the absolute cream of the local young player.

Featuring on the Acoustic Club stage this week are

PAUL are fantastic 5 piece band, Jasper Bokay is a stunning young guitarist and singer songwriter, William Chandler is a young man who is rapidly developing into a brilliant performer, Elliot Lavergne is a long time supporter of Youngsters nights is another young man who is developing into a really brilliant singer songwriter, Layla Mone & Mansell are a duo who feature Layla’s wonderful vocal and Mansell’s compelling guitar work, Anna Hughes, another long time regular player who is an absolute delight and lastly a new to us duo of Archie Eastlake & Lizzie Panagi, Archie having been a regular over the last few years with Lizzie.

 

Doors open at 7.30 pm. Music starts at 8.00 pm. With Mike Happninboy taking the stage at 9.30pm we should finish at around 10.00pm.
