WINTER CONCERT

THE EXILE CLUB

Hello Acoustic Clubbers

After a wonderful evening at the Belgian Brewer with 6 fantastic acts last time, we are delighted to welcome The Exile Club to the Acoustic Club for our last concert of the year.

It has been a year since we had the opportunity of their last performance at the South Mill Arts Centre, although they did close the Acoustic Bash with an incredible set in the summer, performing at the SMC is somewhat different.

 

The band comprises five well-travelled and experienced musicians: Joe Hazell (Vocals/Lead Guitar), Abbie Middleton (Lead Vocals), Neil Findlay (Drums), Daisy Pepper (Bass Guitar) and Tommy Lednor (keyboard) and together they make what can only be described as compelling music.

 

Joe and Abbie need little introduction as they were performing as a duo prior to the Exile Club. The addition of Daisy on bass who brings such experience and expertise that her playing is so foundational in the rhythm section that is completed by the experience and solid beat of Neil. Tommy was the las to join the band and has been almost a feature as the go to keyboard player for so many player it is almost embarrassing with the list of singers and band he has both accompanied and supported over the years.

Together their sound and their ever growing repertoire of original music as well as some reworking of classics has been brilliantly received. Only a year ago they launched their debut album which still remains a personal favourite of many and comparison with the best

 

We have two supporting players this evening.

Hanako Ward is well known with the Acoustic Club as she has been performing for 8 or 9 years starting playing at out youngsters nights with Jeff Carpenter on the smallest ukulele that it is possible to imagine up to day as she has progressed into solo performing with her brilliantly developing vocals as well as her continued mastery of the guitar.

 

The Pulse are incredible young band of 15-16 year olds from Burnt Mill Academy in Harlow, playing a mixture of rock classics and original material. All sprinkled with first class musicianship that defies their young years!

 

Doors open at 7.30 pm. Music starts at 8.00 pm with our supporting players The Exile Club will take the stage at around 8:50pm and perform two sets over the evening. Encores excepted, we should finish at around 10.00pm.
