Marky Dawson

Wednesday 30 October

From 8.00pm
Marky started teaching himself piano at 14. At 18, whilst studying at The London College of Music, he started working as a resident musician in bars and clubs
It’s here he developed his fast and wild Rock n Roll style piano playing skills along with his ability to interact with an audience. Taking requests and heckles, becoming an experienced showman. He mixes his versions of classics with his own catchy songs and some jokes. He’ll make sure you’ll sing along! He hates to sit still and has often been described as a Piano test Pilot.
Marky is a charismatic entertainer with a voice most often compared to Freddie Mercury (His EP “First Takes” and included a seminal version of “Radio Gaga”) and Piano chops to make Jerry Lee Lewis blush. You will be entertained with the intimacy of a blues club, the performance of stadium act quality, and the fun of the pub. Remarkyble.

ADM: £6.00 / £5.00 cocnessions

The Fugitives

Friday 6th September 2019

It might get loud, it might get sweaty but it'll definitely be rocking !!!
From Bayonne to Bristol, the Basque country to Barry Island they are still just as lairy, and just as hairy. For the 16th year in succession, they have been voted the 4th best R&B outfit within a radius of 8.7 miles of Whitchurch village. By the most modest of estimations, they have now played almost 1000 gigs. That’s 1000 Princess Margaret jokes and 1000 times Jason has tripped over the microphone stand. Good things never change. The Fugitives. Still the same, still brilliant.
