This Friday, the 8th November we have SUCH an amazing band playing.
Tom Billington is quite honestly one of the most diverse, extravagant, expressive and talented performers in all the land… He plays to literally 10’000’s of people at a time. He started a charity which reaches across the globe to enable people access to music and performing opportunities, he plays at venues, festivals, and with musicians which/who are genuinely world class.
Somehow I’ve managed to get him to play for us again with his very small band for a change…
And I’ll post videos all week of what he’s got up to in his music career so far.

You REALLY don’t want to miss this one, incase it’s the last time we manage to get him up here. Once you’ve seen him play, you are hooked for life.
Such an amazing vocal talent, and guitar playing that will knock your socks off…

Check for updates this week, or just find the countless YouTube videos of his performances.

And ridiculously, it’s still free entry…

Tonight @ The Standard,
Another special night of Bandeoke followed by the house band.

If you never manage to make it out on a Thursday; then don’t miss this opportunity!
The same great band, a list of ‘best of’ Bandeoke songs… and the same great atmosphere and great drinks!

The rooftop terrace is great; whatever the weather.

(And it’s perfectly timed if you’re out at the rugby club fireworks!).
