This band played at Bertram Bees on Friday night to an
enthusiastic audience. They play skiffle versions of well known pop songs
including Walk of Life by Dire Straits, Bad Moon Rising by Creedence Clearwater
Revival blended together with I’m a Believer by the Monkees, Three Little Birds
by Bo Marley and Nutbush by Ike & Tina Turner blended with Delilah by Tom
Jones. The uniform for the band seems to be Hawaiian Shirt and linen suit with
a hat, and the hats change with the songs – in the end half the audience ended
up wearing a hat at some stage.
We went to the small but perfectly formed Surrey Bluegrass Festival in Mickleham village on Saturday and saw plenty of banjos.
One of the acts bowled us over, a three piece of youngsters who played some
amazing original music and sang great harmonies and were called Ghost Town Showdown.
They reminded me a little of Munford and Sons in their style and delivery.
