CRUSH UK alumni update November 2009

Hi all

Here’s a quick update on the adventures of: CRUSH UK,
Martin Weller, BobKatZ and Big 'Ed and The Red Rockers
for November 2009


Another proper Devon weekend ahead for CRUSH UK

We are back again for another proper visit to the
region. It was only last month when we played three
shows in the region, but we are breaking new ground
this time with our first ever performance in Muse's
home town of Teignmouth.

We'll be kicking off the weekend at the Kings Arms and
could use some support from the local posse Saturday
sees us at the Longbrook, Exeter and we round things
off with a home game at the Exmouth Arms on Sunday.

All in all it should be a cracker.


CRUSH UK - London show

We'd been going on about playing in the Republic for
ages and after a bit of aggro with Amnesty
International, etc. we enjoyed a really lovely evening
with an intimate crowd and even had comedian Lee Mack
as a warm up act

It was fun and if we're still around we'll see you in
another 5 years.


Open mic nights with Weller and co

Next up – tonight, Wednesday 4th November at Ashcombe
Village Club. Come on down and give us a rendition of
your favourite songs


A host of local artists have been presenting regular
Monday open mic nights at the Famous Old Barrel,
Exmouth for the last year and on Monday 9th November we
will be celebrating the first anniversary with Jeff
Lewis who started the ball rolling. A huge variety of
acts will be playing just one number each, so come and
see what it's all about.


Weller's next open mic event at the Barrel will be on
Monday 21st December, so brush the cobwebs off your
carols for a bit of a seasonal bash

Ok, here's the menu.

Come on down and show some love if you can to CRUSH UK,
Weller, KatZ & Big 'Ed and The Red Rockers.

Our schedule for 2010 is filling up nicely.

If you would like any of the acts to play at your
party, or special event, please get in touch as soon as
possible. We hate to disappoint, but we get asked to
play sometimes at such short notice and we have to say
no.

Provisional bookings with deposit are always welcome.
