From little acorns

On October 6th This year, some very good friends came along to perform a gig at the Venue to help me to air most of the songs from Partay on ti Dawn (Album # 2) plus a couple as yet in the public domain.



Apart from being a little light on audience numbers, the gig was one of the best musical experiences of my life to date.



With encouragement from the same friends, plus some new ones, arrangements are underway for later next year to perform what is to be album # 2 at some smaller venues (Village halls etc) before showcasing what will be an amazing event at a similarly large stage as the Venue in Chichester.





                    
 Sylvia McEwen  
The Brilliant and versatile voice of Sylv McEwen was one of many highlights of the show. Lead singing "Promises" & "Rock n Roll" Mama plus backing vocals in most of the other tracks lent lustre and variety to the set.  


                                           


Dwight Brady,  An amazing find, following the loss of the original drummer Dwight was able to step in and take the percussion section to a level where above and beyond our hopes.







 Breeze Kilpin 

Although not instantly recognisable from the back, Bre showed energy and enthusiasm that can only be attributed to an artist with a very long career in fromt of her. Singing "Lie to my Baby" and "This is it".  Breeze won Sky1's "Don't Stop me now" 2012.



   






Andy Bierschenk

What can I say about Andy B that has'nt already been said? A master of his craft and one of the nicest blokes I've ever known.

"Long Live Andy"


The Penny Black Choir

Perhaps an unusual choice for support for a Rock Band but this wonderful choir gave the event a completely different level of elegance and harmony.








Mike Fry

Such an incredibly huge range and repertoire to call upon, Mike gave the audience a taste of past and present hits with a high degree of skill and confidence.










 Me.
Waiting to go on.  On the surface a calm exterior. Underneath?  Also calm.  Yeah Right!! ,







The ladies that did....

The Rah, Melanie, Vicky & Charlie. Without whom little would have been so much fun..






See you out there next year guys. I sincerely hope 2013 is as good for you as I think it's going to be for my friends, family and I.
