Double
Headline Showcase

M G BOULTER
and
FOUR GONE
CONFUSION

Hello Acoustic Clubbers Last time we were back with a wonderful mixture of talent and performance featuring two Headline Showcase Acts. It would be fair to say that they are on opposite ends of the music scene; something we encourage at the Acoustic Club, but that is what we love. Real diversity in music. M G Boulter with Paul Ambrose Matt Boulter is not only one of the hardest
working musicians in Essex and London, his output is prodigious. He writes
songs and music that reflects his life as well as the flights of fancy and
fantasy that he can construct. We have become accustomed to the brilliant
bass accompaniment that Paul Ambrose brings, to complete the performance. |

MG Boulters’ set list is a
wonderful surprise as he always manages to bring favourite songs from his
unofficial anthology of Music from Southend and Westcliffe and will then
inject a new composition that literally blows your sock off. Just a wonderful set from
two wonderfully talented musicians. FOUR GONE CONFUSION Four Gone Confusion
comprises two couples who have joined their music together to produce a
wonderful result. Specialising in “Folk”
music is a great place to start but they bring their own take on trad folk
and bring it up to date. No matter how you view it, the music is delightful |

However, they are not
confined by their history, in fact they thrive on it, with new influences and
a certain amount of jazz roots and funk fusion was detected (I am of course
joking about the funk fusion). They really produce individual music that
suits their performance as well as delights the audience. Just a smashing set by
lovely people. Grateful thanks to Charlie for his sterling
work on the Sound Desk. Also, much appreciation to all the staff and
volunteers who go to make the SMA such a wonderful welcoming venue. |
