The next Music Night at Sunbury Cricket Club falls on Friday 4th July, when the Club welcomes a brand new band to the circuit in ALAN DARBY’S GUITARS DE LUXE. Regular visitors to the Club are known to enjoy seeing really top class blues and rock guitarists, so SCC is putting on a show which boasts three of them!

Some of you will have seen Alan Darby when he played at the Club last year with The Lee Ryder Band, and ended the evening with a rousing guitar battle with Lee’s regular guitarist Deezal Martin. Guitars Deluxe reveal gloriously diverse backgrounds having shared stages and recording studios as well as writing credits with many of music greats. The guitarists are Alan Darby (Eric Clapton, Bonnie Raitt, Van Morrison, Robert Palmer), Jake Zaitz (Mick Jagger, Joe Louis Walker, Dana Gillespie, Ian Siegal), Artie Zaitz (Pee Wee Ellis, Earl Green, Alex Garnett, Gary Crosby), complemented by the cool rhythm section including Matt Round on bass (Jeff Lynn, James Morrison, Billy Bragg), and Evan Jenkins on drums (Eric Clapton, Mick Jagger, Matt Schofield).

Alan enjoyed playing at the Club and thought it would be an excellent venue to visit in the band’s early life before they target bigger stages, so we are getting something of an inside track on a very interesting new outfit and the chance to see some top players in action – and before their Eel Pie Club debut in September. It should a great night.
