This week
Bernie Eveleigh, another friend for many many years is bringing his huge talent to Popshop on Thursday 28th of August. An painter, sculptor and musician he currently plays with the Pink Rubies who play original songs and instrumentals. Influences range from Folk, Blues, Rock'n'Roll, Jazz to Latin, arranged and delivered with a measured dynamic! He will be bringing himself and Mole to play songs from that canon. Bernie has been playing in bands and solo for longer than I can remember.
In 1975 he played in a band called the
Brentford & the Nylons who ( in his own words) “played at Central school of Art with those Sexy pistols as support. Mole looked it up, and Glen Matlock said(YouTube) that was their first gig that he organised. (Contradicting Bazooka Joe's claim of it being at St Martin's) But I feel it's a bit of a Pete Best story- but there you go. looking forward to the show! Pip pip!!
The main act will be L-Plate who consist of three new locals who hail from Belfast who will be bringing their Cowboy Punk to Popshop.
Please bring cash or card for donations for the musicians (Bernie is coming from Folkestone).
Free pizza will be available early doors so get there for that just before 8.00pm.
See you there then?
