Hello all

I’m sorry to announce that we can’t open the kitchen today.

We have both had a nasty cold and although Karen bravely opened yesterday, I think it best if we take today to recover.

I’m sure we will be better and open tomorrow again.

Best wishes

Steve

TBYC are proud to present:-

“Wildwood Jack”

Playing live Saturday 24^th October at 8.30pm

www.wildwoodjack.com

After a successful tour of Denmark in the summer & appearances at festivals up and down the UK, Thorpe Bay Yacht Club are delighted to welcome Wildwood Jack – Adam Piggott & Jayne Freeman – to Southend.

Melodic songs with guitar and ukulele fingerstyle sophistication drawing influences from folk, country and world music.

Wildwood Jack is the acoustic duo Adam Piggott and Jayne Freeman.  Touring on regular basis – as well as being featured on BBC local radio – they play all over the south east with frequent gigs in Aldeburgh.

Their sound is a harmonious blend of fingerstyle guitar and ukulele and has been described as a mix of Paul Simon, Leonard Cohen, Nanci Griffith and Ry Cooder. Memorable live shows can feature anything from traditional songs and tunes to a reworked punk classic or even Pink Floyds ‘Shine on You Crazy Diamond’.

Adam says “Everything we do is about maximising the sound and capabilities of the acoustic guitar and ukulele together when we play live. Our style has evolved from playing and experimenting over the years with a lot of influence from folk, country, blues and jazz”.

This is a TBYC-sponsored event – so come along with friends & enjoy what promises to be a very memorable evening of live music!
