LAST TIME
THURSDAY
2nd OCTOBER 2025
6 ACTS
– 4 SONGS
|
Hello Acoustic Clubbers There is a reason why we
hold 6 Act evenings and last time we had the perfect reason. The quality and
perfection of the performances our players deliver. So aptly summed up by
Terry Hiscock, we had the pleasure of 24 songs from 6 players, all in
differing genres but all of a very high quality. |
|
|
TERRY HISCOCK Terry Hiscock is a seasoned professional
player as well as a gifted songwriter and performer. Closing the evening,
Terry engaged the audience with four original songs and a level of banter
that only comes with being comfortable with his surroundings and the
audience. He always brings a level of performance
that is hard to better as he has spent the last many years entertaining and
entrancing audiences across the world. The best news is that Terry will be back
with Doug and Roger as part of Hunter Musskett late in the month. |

CLARK & JOHNSON Tony and Karen always bring their best game
to the Acoustic Club stage and last time was no different. Karens vocals are
marked by the clarity of her voice and Tony provides such a brilliant
accompaniment as well as the perfect backing vocals which are the foil for
Karens lead. Just a cracking set!! |

ALICE WALKER Alice is a one off. Her songs are personal,
often filled with regret, sometime filled with hope but always a delight to
listen to. Self-deprecating almost to a fault, Alice’s
whole sound scape is based on a firm foundation of great music and top full
with her emotional lyrics that often break your heart with their intensity. Alice remains a firm favourite who we do
not see often enough. Hopefully it will not be too long before we see her
again |

PETER CROSSLEY Peter is a Yorkshire exile who is now part
of the fabric of the vibrant Hertford Music scene and it is always a delight
when we can hear him. A masterful songwriter who reflects on his
life and his experiences, both of which are well worth the listen, but his
stage performance is one of bringing the audience with him. Every one who
hears him cannot but be moved by his music and performance. |

Why Not? Why Not are another Hertford based duo of
high repute. Unfortunately our booked act the Paul Booth Trio were unable to
perform as Paul was unwell (get well soon Paul) but his absence was covered
by Sue and Verna who are terrific interpreters of songs from far and wide.
Close harmonies and a superb backing 12 string guitar or the watch word of
their performance, and they really gave us a fantastic opening to the
evening. |

DAN FRASER Making his debut performance in a 4 song
night Dan moved from his covers based performance to entertain us not only
with a brand new guitar but also 4 original songs. As accomplished as covers player he is (and
he is) his original music was fantastic. He has a cracking style of
intricate, yet pleasing guitar playing and completes the experience with down
right cracking songs. Many thanks |

Finally, we must say thanks to CHARLIE for
his incredible work on the sound desk with the sliders and knobs. What
fantastic sound he creates. Also, many thanks to all the staff and volunteers
who go to make the SMA such a wonderful welcoming venue. |
