April 5
SIMON PRAGER and WENDY LANCHIN ​
​​​
​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
​There is a very late addition to Sunday! Simon and Wendy will be joined by Alan Glen. Alan is a great veteran blues harmonic player best known for his work with the Yardbirds and Nine Below Zero.
​
Eve Goodman and SERA who we originally booked for April had to cancel at very short notice but very luckily Simon and Wendy have been able to step in .
Simon is one of our best acoustic blues players who has been playing since the late 60s. A fine guitar player , his vocals catch the essence of the blues from the country blues of Charley Patton to jump blues of Louis Jordan.
During covid Simon met Wendy for the first time on zoom and their subsequent musical partnership has blossomed with Wendy’s rich jazz inflected vocals adding depth and variety to their material. Wendy has a background in musical theatre and cabaret as well and is also one third of the well respected female folk trio “Rumpled Muslin”.
Entrance tonight is £10
