Gigs Supporting Barrance Whitfield & The Savages

If anyone's up for some high energy R&B I’m playing with Hackney’s finest Multinational R&B party band, King Salami & The Cumberland Three, supporting Barrance Whitfield & the Savages at The Haunt in Brighton on the 9th and, hopefully, at the Borderline off Charring Cross Road…. An upbeat, bouncy sort of night is guaranteed

What a great band to support! You'll have a great time. What night are you doing the Borderline? Great little venue. Used to see the Pirates there on a regular basis.

It'd be the the 10th (I'm not 100% sure I'm on that gig- there's a bit of a job share thing with horn players in that band!).. The Pirates- that takes me back, I reemmber their "SKull Wars" poster all over Leeds back in the day. Best gig I ever saw at the borderline was Los Lobos- on the night of a Corona promotion! a sea of tortilla chips, portions of lime and beer... and some great Tex-Mex rock & roll (Steve Berlin on tenor- great rocking player)

He's got a certain El Duderino quality...

Dude-ist indeed! Rug issues relating more to the areforementinoed Corona, tortilla chips and limes rather than the obvious!!

Skull Wars! Excellent. We're All in in Together was superb

Top sax playing tip- If you've got problems with a mic stand- a tall frenchman in a white hat is a quite servicable alternative...

Can you get one in a gig bag?

Probably not but he might carry it for you, for sufficient beer of course 🙂
