LINE-UP - 24 NOVEMBER 2008 - Alan Eatwell's Show!!!

Here it is for next Monday, when Alan Eatwell (021 448 7357) has invited;

(1) HUGH & TRACEY COUTTS
They quite independently, earned places in the Songwriter's Competition Finals purely on the basis of their talent. They turn in a polished & performance every time, due in part to the warmth of their on-stage collaboration and years of experience of what works well musically!

(2) PICKLED WULLIE
Roger Addison, John Gnodde, Alwyn Lea & Neil Berry make up the epitome of an Irish pub band. With a mix of material from the 'traditional' to the mildly hysterical, they are invariably highly entertaining!

(3) IN THE DEEP END
This is Nic le Mesurier's newly-formed outfit, featuring Veronica ('Ronnie') Ronson who has resumed playing bass-guitar after an almost 30-year hiatus; Monique, doing the vocals in inimitable style, Mervyn Flink on percussion & of course Nic himself on guitar. This is their Barleycorn debut, so a proper welcome is in order!

(4) JULIA CONRADIE
Rumour has it, she might be road-testing a new song or two!? It is always a pleasure to witness her strong, confident writing & performing skills and she's on top form right now!

Altogether a good Monday evening out!

LINE-UP - 17 November 2008 - Pete van Heerden's Show!!!

It's Pete van Heerden's turn to run the show next Monday and
we are all in for a quite a show!

(1) THE FOLK AVANT GARDE
They consist of Miles Sievwright,Tristan Waterkeyn, Arlyn Culwick
& Gary Thomas, acoustic players of some renown (in such outfits
as 'Cabins in the Forest') who play 'nu-folk' and their set, polished
for this tour, will be well worth catching.

(2) PETE van HEERDEN, IAN BELL & WILL WALLACE
This trio gets together for a Blues collaboration, mixing acoustic
finger-picking & some electric guitar playing.

(3) MATT ALLISON
Who has performed his unique brand of 'folk-pop' in SA & abroad
for the past 8 years, has been likened (by Music Industry On-Line)
as South Africa's answer to David Gray. He'll share his richly woven
lyrics of love, longing, hope & despair backed by some excellent
guitar melodies. Check out www.dockyardstudios.com

(4) The RAMON da SILVA BAND
Which consists of Ramon (electric guitar & vocals), Pierre du Plessis
(electric guitar) and Nick da Silva (bass) will play a set of all original
material and are rumoured to be excellent.
