What a very kind Crew

The Crew, along with caller Steve Taverner, performed at a fundraising barn dance in aid of the Isle of Wight Motor Neurone Disease Association. This association provides help and support to local people who are suffering from the disease. Hearing that the organisers had not sold as many tickets as they had hoped (due to lingering pandemic concerns), the generous band decided to donate their fee to this good cause.

Stunning September Line-up

A number of interesting acts are visiting the Island next month. Full details can be found on the Events page.

Vaguely Sunny has booked singer songwriter Deborah Rose from Ludlow. Her pure voice and musicality enhance thoughtful songs, often with a social conscience. Deborah’s performance takes place on September 3rd at Freshwater.

The often-amusing songs of Jake Thackeray are to be presented on Monday 5th September in a celebration of his life and work by John Watterson aka ‘Fake Thackeray’. The Medina Bookshop in Cowes is the venue for this interesting event.

The cosy and comfortable Ventnor Arts Club is the location for a visit from Friction Farm, the husband and wife duo of Aidan Quinn and Christine Stay who live in South Carolina. Their act combines quirky humour, storytelling and social commentary with infectious tunes and intricate harmonies. Catch up with them on 10th September.

Wildwood Jack, another husband and wife duo, are visiting Ventnor Arts Club on 15th September. Adam Piggott and Jayne Freeman offer accomplished contemporary folk music on guitar and ukulele with seasonings of bluegrass and world music.
