The next Music Night at the SCC falls on Friday 11th September when the Club welcomes 3 AM for the first time. They are an excellent rocking blues band who gig regularly and are well-received wherever they go. A very entertaining evening of up-front blues rock in the classic Sunbury Music Night tradition is guaranteed.

Leader and guitarist Tim Renton was in Reign back in the ‘70s signed to EMI, supporting the likes of Genesis, Moody Blues and Family on major tours, and he was also in The Wombles, appearing on Top of the Pops on a number of occasions. Lead singer is Laura Long, an exciting and raunchy vocalist who has worked on the jazz scene over the years, while keyboard player Chris Parren is a seasoned session musician who has toured or recorded with The Strawbs, AC/DC, James Burton, Maggie Bell, Hudson-Ford, Jim Capaldi, Judy Tzuke and George Michael; and also starred/played in 70’s TV hit “Rock Follies”. The line-up is completed by Phil Evans (bass) and drummer Jamie Fisher, both with a lengthy pedigree in the business.

Their dynamic stage act features a high proportion of original material, and they have established a great reputation – Lemonrock’s Mac Mclaren said of them “I love the band – so professional and involving, and Laura is just brilliant”. There’s lots of music and video on their web site at www.3am.uk.com, so check them out.

For those of you interested in the Club’s fortunes on the cricket field, the 1st XI sealed their place as champions of the Premier Division of the Surrey Championship last Saturday, and the 3rd XI also finished top of their league, so it’s been a good season – congratulations to all the teams.
