Hello Acoustic Clubbers, What an absolutely cracking night we had last time with
six acts, so diverse it would be difficult to group them other than
individually and an impressive jam packed audience. |
|
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 |

SUE and VERNA as WHY NOT Sue and Verna are fast becoming one of our favourite
close harmony duos. Their performance is always measured, precise and
compelling. They will normally find a song or two that needs a new look and
they always provide a polished set that is a delight. Many thanks Sue and
Verna. |

ALI ROSE Ali gave us a real snapshot of her talent that was
evident from the first note to the last. Her renditions of classic folk music
is an absolute joy and her original material is wonderful. Accompanied by
Phil Ericson on guitar/backing vocals they gave us a brilliant set of just
pure joyous music. |

RICHARD STUBBS & EMILY UNNA Emily Unna is Brazilian/English singer who demonstrated
a mixture of style that was enchanting. She has a strong voice covering
styles such as Bossa Nova to Pop, the Bangles to Miley Cyrus. Accompanied by
Richard Stubbs that gave us a set full of mysterious yet enchanting material
that had the audience tapping along throughout. |
|
HARDCORE & RUBBLE Paul and Gary gave us a set of unadulterated blues
which relied on the tone of Pauls National Steel guitar and Gary excellence
on the blues harp. There was a focus on fun, entertainment and playing
some songs no one else would attempt. They lived up to their reputation of being different in
every respect and leaving the audience wanting more, |

MICHAEL SEDGWICK Michael is a local and spends his time playing a range
of acoustic covers and originals. He has a wonderfully understated style that
comes to the fore when he starts to perform. His work on the 12 String (an instrument of both beauty
and clarity) was an utter delight. |
|
Grateful thanks to Jaiden for his sterling work on the
Sound Desk and much appreciation to all the staff and volunteers who go to
make the SMA such a wonderful welcoming venue. |
