WELLER @ Mama Stones, Exeter 28.9.9

Martin said: "I am delighted to have been invited to perform alongside another of Devon's finest rock acts 'Stillyano' at Mama Stones, Exeter on Monday 28th September 2009."

To most people Martin is probably better known for being part of CRUSH UK & BobKatZ, but for some time he has been steadily building a reputation as a dynamic solo artist.

Martin continued: “This is a great opportunity to play at such a prestigious venue with other great acts. I am looking forward to performing my own compositions to what will hopefully be a large and energetic audience”

Weller's blend of passionate vocals and soulful to rock acoustic guitar styles are demonstrated on his recordings including latest CD ‘99_09’ and hit singles ‘Crush’ and ‘Meaning of life’, but to hear and see him at his best you have to experience him 'live' – no backing tapes!

An accomplished solo singer/guitarist, award winning songwriter and acclaimed recording artist, Weller also enjoys success with top bands: power pop trio CRUSH UK and pop/punk outfit BobKatZ.
Martin has performed with some of the best in the business: Jimmy Page, John Paul Jones, Peter Frampton, Dean Friedman, Chris Slade, Huw Lloyd Langton, Frampton Weller, Counterfeit Stones, T-Rextasy, Wizz Jones, Benny Gallagher, Lucie Diamond, Isaac Guillory, Clive Gregson, Leanie Kaleido, Skinny Molly & more, and confidently offers the best in professional live music entertainment.

A charismatic performer Martin says his biggest kick is “keeping an audience entertained”.

Weller, CRUSH UK, BobKatZ update_September 2009

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 23^rd 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.
