Raising the St Leonards's roof - Gig Report October 17th 2009


There was a real roll-call of local talent at the St Leonards repairs fund raiser on Saturday. The Evening was billed as one of 'music & song' and saw over 15 local groups and performers do their thing in fine style.


The Deal Hoodeners kicked off the event with a sea soaked medley, followed by rockers combo Mac & Clive, a lovely song from Janet, followed by Eddie, the marvellous Val & Bill, Sue Watson's Deal Fisherman's song with Stuart, Mike Woods' bluesy 'Mary Don't You Weep', New kids on the block 'Beux & Belles made their first outing and finally on the second half Bill and his magic accordion & dulcimer.

The second half kicked off with the excellent Loose Change, Mike Broomfield managed to sing his song without being struck by lightning, Jim rendered a great version of the dark isle, Adrian O give us his Ball of Blue, Steve O'Kane sang us his beautiful songs + Fiona lifted the roof (if not the spire) with amazing grace, then Driftwood got them singing in the aisles (literally).

The Management ended a great evening with abba's 'thank you for the music'.

(as the roadie cannot multi-task there is a bit of wobble on the videos,sorry)
