SMOKEHOUSE BLUES
SATURDAY FEBRUARY 20th 8:30pm
APPLETON THORN VILLAGE HALL
Nr. WARRINGTON

The promoters have finally managed to pin the band down to make a very welcome return to the multi-CAMRA award winning Village Hall on Saturday 20th February.

Barney Barnett (guitar), Russ Williams (stand-up bass) and Mark Donaldson (drums) complement Johnny Hewitt’s harp and vocals perfectly. Their mix of West Coast, Chicago blues and own material sounds even better than usual in the intimate venue.

They have restricted the audience, and admission by ticket is only £8. Admission may be available on the door (£9) but the last time they visited it was a sell out. Tickets  are available from either the village hall itself or from Roger Kenyon on 07946 378599.

P.S.
They also have two other gigs scheduled and tickets are going fast for both of these. Even though they are not strictly blues based, the virtuosity of these two acoustic guitarists is quite something to behold.

  • Saturday 20th March 8:30pm – Clive Carroll – Ticket £10 (no admission on door)

Martin Stephenson

Appleton Thorn Village Hall

26 September 2009

Roger Kenyon has sent in this update.

On Saturday September 26th we are delighted to have Martin Stephenson join us at Appleton Thorn Village Hall. He will be ably supported by local hero Chris Jackson.

A warm and witty songsmith, Martin is always a wry and humbly engaging performer. Expect varied sets to include everything from delta blues to Daintees from this rootsy maverick who has given us some memorable nights in the past.

As we have restricted the audience to just 70 at this lovely little venue, admission is by ticket only and is sure to be a sell out. Tickets are a very reasonable £8 and are available from either the village hall itself or from Roger Kenyon on 07946 378599.

Gig: Gypsy Bill Williams and Del Potter – Appleton Thorn, Warrington – 13 June 2009

Message from Roger Kenyon

GYPSY BILL WILLIAMS & DEL POTTER
APPLETON THORN VILLAGE HALL
SATURDAY JUNE 13th

We are pleased to present another night of acoustic blues with Gypsy Bill Williams and Del Potter on Saturday 13th June.

They are a York based duo, and Bill is a talented multi instrumentalist playing guitar (National Steel & 12 string Gibson), harmonica and drums, whilst Del accompanies on the upright bass.

They have appeared at numerous festivals and venues over the past few years. Comments from last year’s Colne Blues Festival include, “..one of the finest blues singers with wicked guitar…”, ” Oh wow….he is great”.

This will be their first appearance at Appleton Thorn Village Hall (currently CAMRA National Club of the Year), and it would be great to have another full house (70 max.) for what promises to be a brilliant night.

If you are not sure what to expect, you could do worse than check out www.myspace.com/gypsybillanddel.

Tickets at £6 are the only way to guarantee admission. They are available from the Village Hall or me on 07946 378599. Entrance on the door may be available at £8. As ever, doors open at 8:00pm and seating is unreserved.
