Hello
Acoustic Clubbers This
week we are back with a wonderful mixture of talent and performance, each act
with an extended 4 song set. THE
LARKS Liz
Miller and Chris Wilbraham are brilliant duo who are award-winning
songwriters as well as being brilliant performers. Their
music is founded on a solid musicality and their words strike home every
time. As accomplished musicians they provide that melodic backdrop that
enhances whilst at the same time |

Michael
Sedgwick Michael
is a local guy who grew up playing mainly electric guitar around Bishops
Stortford and London. After some time away to have a family, he’s now making
up for lost time playing a range of acoustic covers and originals. His
influences define his performance and he is both a wonderful interpreter of
others music as well as giving a glimpse of his own. Great to see him again. His
work on the 12 String (an instrument of both beauty and clarity) is an utter
delight. The
Paul Booth Trio Paul’s
songs are the basis of their performance. He moves from topic and subject
with a grace that is understated but highly effective. His songs mean a lot
to him and with the vocal delivery and musical backing they become instant
favourites. You will hear the scintillating bass of Si and the wonderous
backing vocals of Verna as well as her ventures into percussion. The
Trio remains a musical high point. They play with conviction and ease, whilst
never forgetting that they have a purpose and meaning that whilst obvious
never the less remains as a testament to the song writer. These
are 3 musicians who blend seamlessly and produce a sum greater than the
parts. All in all, one of the best 3 pieces around!

Hardcore
& Rubble Paul
and Gary are unadulterated blues which relies on the tone of Pauls guitar and
Garys excellence on the blues harp. There
is always a focus on fun, entertainment and playing some songs no one else
would attempt. They
live up to their reputation of being different in every respect and leaving
the audience wanting more. Pat
Crilly and Greg Camburn Over the years Pat and Greg have been one of our
most loyal an dependable players. Together they are absolute masters. Pat
is one of the most talented and genuinely original song writers and
performers. His songs are covered extensively for a very simple reason – they
are very, very good. As a solo player he is always in demand from folk clubs,
acoustic clubs and, whenever the situation calls for it, St Patricks Day
celebrations. Greg Camburn is one of the most complete saxophonists of his
generation. He will accompany almost anyone just for the music. However, the
strings to his bow are many and expansive. He is a master of the whistle and
almost anything else you can blow. Greg
moved away about a year ago and it is an utter delight that the “Old Firm” is
back together tonight. |

Emily Unna accompanied by Morgan Blair We
were introduced to Emily last year and it is a delight that she returns this
evening with accompaniment by Morgan Blair. Emily is Brazilian/English
singer/songwriter who has a strong voice covering styles such as Bossa Nova
to Pop, the Bangles to Miley Cyrus. Accompanied by Morgan, we will get a set
full of Emily's mysterious yet enchanting material that will have the audience
tapping along throughout. |
