The next Music Night at Sunbury Cricket Club is our annual Mayor’s Charity Night featuring THE CHAIN GANG on Friday 10th March.
It’s become something of a tradition that we devote one of the Club's Music Nights to a special event to support the Mayor of Spelthorne’s charities, and they have proved extremely successful evenings, so we are delighted to be able to put one on this year. This year’s Mayor of Spelthorne is Cllr. Doran, a Stanwell councillor, who is a great supporter of the Club. The Mayor’s charities are the Spelthorne Mental Health Association and Stanwell Family Centre, two vital services in these difficult times.
We have assembled the usual suspects from the great and good of Sunbury’s music fraternity to play under the name of The Chain Gang in honour of the Mayor’s chain of office. The musicians will be giving their services free, so all the door money will go to the charities. It will be a great night of classic rock ‘n’ roll, blues, ‘60s R&B, rock and country.
The line-up features Gerry Cook (Matrix), Mark Doyle (Marshall Taylor Band) and Tim Renton (3AM) on guitars; Martin House (Matrix) and Roger Harding (ex-East of Eden) on bass, Stephane Booroff (Sky High, The Escorts and ex-Edison Lighthouse) and Alan Hall (Matrix) on drums, Geoff Forester (who has played with Taj Mahal, Mississippi Fred McDowell and others) and Paul Watts on vocals and guitar. We’re delighted to say that Karl Green, original and long-time member of Herman’s Hermits, who was expecting to be in the USA on this date, is now available to join us and will be featured on several songs on vocals and guitar.
It’s all for a great cause and will be a fun community night, so please put it in your diary.
Admission is £10.00 on the door, payable by cash or card. Hot food, prepared by the expert chefs from our resident caterers from the community food distribution organisation Surplus To Supper, will be available from 7pm. We look forward to seeing you there.
