Hello
I know it has been a while, but hopefully you have managed to survive :)
Here’s the latest from Martin Weller, CRUSH UK & BobKatZ for September 2009.
August was a month we will never forget for reasons good and bad. Thanks to everyone for their support through the rough times.
Highs
The highlights were our shows at the Dawlish Red Arrows Air Display and Topsham carnival.
Larkfest
Despite the drizzle Larkfest went well too with great performances by BobKatZ, Stillyano and CRUSH UK on the 'main stage' plus terrific acoustic acts in the yurt including Becky Brooks, Geoff Martin, Alison & Francine and many more.
Special thanks to Josie Lloyd who played and organised the musicians. Well done for managing not to thump Mike as well :)
We raised £600 for Hospiscare and WPSA into the bargain.
September has started quite well despite our cancelled show due to the MUSE boys' shows in Teignmouth.
Happy Days 50s night
Last Saturday's Rock n Roll night at the Famous Old Barrel featuring 'Big Ed and the Red Rockers' & 'MeerKatZ' was a blast. Next up will be a 60s night. It's great to be diverse! No prizes for guessing who 'Big Ed' is ;)
Open mic events
Weller will be hosting two open mic nights this month. Details below. If you would like to perform just let him know.
Weller would like to thank Mike Ellis for the invitation to play at a fund raiser for Devon Air Ambulance Trust at Cheriton Bishop. A really enjoyable day which again raised £1600 + :)
On a sour note, our London show at the Grove Tavern, Wimbledon scheduled for October 23rd is off, so we are on the hunt for a replacement. All ideas for another venue welcome. Despite this late set back we hope the show at the Grey Horse will go ahead.
Ok, here's the menu. Come on down and show some love if you can to Weller, KatZ & CRUSH UK.
