Expect numbers from artists like Tom Petty, John Lennon, Rolling Stones and Buddy Guy. A smattering of original numbers too from Will Hawthorne, guitar, Stuart Bootle, piano, Adrian Sherwood, bass and Eric Culbert, drums/percussion.

Alan Budge reads from his acclaimed collection of 'Odes to Rock and Roll', with a superb soundtrack of 60s and 70s classics performed by Will Hawthorne, and special guests Emma O'Brien and Michael Clement.

Expect numbers from artists like Tom Petty, John Lennon, Rolling Stones and Buddy Guy. A smattering of original numbers too from Will Hawthorne - acoustic guitar, Stuart Bootle - piano, Adrian Sherwood - upright bass and Eric Culbert - drums/percussion.

2nd appearance of 2024 here. It's a friendly pub with a great acoustic too! Picture shows our keyboard man Stuart.

Returning with Responsibly Sauced to the scene of our debut gig (see picture)! It's always a blast to play in this intimate venue where, despite the extremely limited space, people find enough room to dance!

AN unplugged session with the band!

Another band gig! As may of you know we do generally feature a couple of my original numbers. It'd be great to see you there!

First gig of 2024 for the band. We have a couple of new numbers in the set - one from John Lennon and one from Chuck Berry!

An annual event for the past 15 years (pandemic allowing). Lots of singing and dancing to see in 2024. FREE!

I will be illustrating the poems of Alan Budge as he reflects on his favourite recordings and gigs from the 1960s and 1970s. With the invaluable help of Emma Hughes I'll perform numbers that represent the artists that he pays homage to. This promises to be a unique kind of gig and we're all really looking forward to it. I'll have some of my CDs available and Alan will have copies of his book.

It will be December so it will be time to unleash my Christmas repertoire alongside some favourite singalong numbers. All for the brave souls enduring the cold to swim along to my appearance on the wonderful Bandstand at the pool!

We will ring the changes a little after our appearance the previous night at The Tap House and play a largely acoustic set at Bailey's - another new venue for us. Really looking forward to it (the picture shows Stuart and I playing acoustically at The Green Man a few months back)!

Looking forward to a rocking night at this venue - we haven't done it as RS yet (although Eric and I have done played there a few years back as Blue John). Good beer and great music!

As you may know I co-produced the debut solo EP by Icicle Works bassist Chris Layhe. This is a short, free event/gig to launch the gig. I will be playing 8 or so numbers in support of Chris (adding guitar and a little backing vocal). (Responsible) Stuart Bootle will also be there with some great keyboard embellishments!

I am really happy to be adding guitar to a couple of Dave's numbers and a whole five of Emma's!

Annual Market of local musicians and artisans. A Seasonal Dickensian theme. I will play some favourite covers and originals. I'll have some of my CDs for sale with 50% sales going to Disasters and Emergencies fund. It's FREE to attend and a fun event!

Looking forward to doing a solo set as well as backing up a set by Icicle Chris Layhe (pictured). Responsible Stuart Bootle will also be helping us out on keyboards. The times of each set are not yet finalised so watch this space for updates. You want to be there at 6pm to catch all the fun and music anyway! Music also coming from pianist Tim Mottershead. Oh, and IT'S FREE!

Responsibly Sauced return to the scene of their debut gig (last February).

Playing with Responsibly Sauced as part of a multi-act show to celebrate the Christmas Lights being switched on. It's still November, though, so we won't be doing anything Christmassy - Humbug!! Guest drummer Matthew Holder will be sitting in for unavailble Eric Culbert.
