The next Music Night is on Friday 25th October when Sunbury Cricket Club welcomes SKELETON CREW to the Club for the first time. It's a band whose members will be familiar to many of you, as two of the stalwarts are former Sunbury residents who have played in the area many times over the years. The band’s leader is Paul King, playing guitar, mandolin, banjo, harmonica and squeezebox. He is an original member of Mungo Jerry, who went on to be voted the Evening Standard pub entertainer of the year several years in a row. He was a founder member of the King Earl Boogie Band, who appeared at the Club recently.
With him is bass player Colin Pattenden, original member of Manfred Mann’s Earth Band in their hit-making days, and now also with Jackie Lynton and the Nashville Teens. Both Paul and Colin were regulars in the Magpie and Phoenix for many years on Christmas Day playing jug band carols along with Colin Earl of King Earl Boogie Band.
On guitar is Chris Bryant, who famously owns Bryant’s Musical Instruments in Tin Pan Alley - Denmark Street - in the West End, so you can be sure he knows his way round the guitar, and on drums is Greg Terry-Short, who has played with Ozzy Osborne, Peter Green and Jackie Lynton.
Please come along so that we have a big crowd to welcome the guys back to Sunbury for the first time in a long while – it will be a fun night.
