Walkern
Sports and Community Centre
(
formerly Walkern Sports and Social Club )
Saturday
11th September 2010,
Two
of the finest guitar wielding
singer/songwriters to come out of
Australia
Doors
open at 8 PM and admission is £8. (£6 if
member of WSCC)
CARUS
THOMPSON
www.carus.com.au
Carus is part of Australia's celebrated
roots scene, melding his songwriting with
a combination of blues, roots, country and
folk.
He
has built a hard won reputation as a
gifted songwriter who never holds back,
delivering his songs with an energy,
intensity and passion that confirms
that
although it's an acoustic guitar that he
plays-he's definitely no wilted, navel
gazing " look at his shoes and softly
hum" strummer.
The
strength of his solo performance has seen
him open for the likes of Dave Mathews,
Damien Rice, John Butler, Jack Johnson The
Waifs, Seth Lakeman and
Pete
Murray.
His
two national tours in the UK with Seth
Lakeman have gained him the most attention
and helped him break out of the ex-pat
audience circuit that most
other
Australian artists in the UK can never
quite shake.
He
has just finished a 7 day residency with
his band at The Jazz Bar in Edinburgh.
DERRIN
NAUENDORF
www.derrinnauendorf.com
"Renowned for his intense live
shows and raw emotive music, Derrin's
music is hard to categorise, made up from
many styles, blues, folk and americana.
Untamed
acoustic guitar, cutting lyrics, a
powerful evocative voice and honest songs
delivered with a passion, but twisted to a
unique sound."
David
Blue, Net Rhythms.
Derrin
has been living in the UK for eights years
and built up a solid and loyal following
after countless tours and some amazing
critical reviews and performances for the
likes of Bob Harris & Paul Jones.
"Excellent" Bob
Harris BBC2, "4 out of 5 stars"
Sunday Express, "stunning
performance" BBC Radio 2 (UK).

Saunders and Harry Skinner formed The

Simon McBride to support Joe Satriani On Tour
Simon McBride will open the UK shows of Joe Satriani's European
tour in October this year.
Joe Satriani has been a worldwide guitar hero since his 1987
breakthrough album, Surfing With
The Alien. Over 10-million albums
and CD’s later, in addition to
14 Grammy nominations and numerous
accolades, Joe continues to push
the envelope of modern rock guitar
playing.
Although he originally started his career by teaching some of the
top rock guitar players of the
'80s and '90s like Metallica’s
Kirk Hammet and virtuoso Steve Vai,
Joe Satriani is universally hailed
as one of the most technically
accomplished and respected guitar
players in the history of rock
music. Both Joe and Simon cite
Jimi Hendrix as a major influence.
The tour will visit Manchester, Bristol, London, Newcastle, Glagow
and Birmingham.
