Outline:
Graham Russ has sung and played his guitar on several occasions back in 2007 and early 2008 until he started his trip to Australia and New Zealand (amongst other places). He promised to keep in touch (see his postcards) and to sing again for us on his return.
True to this he brought together this 'band' and provided us a great evening's entertainment.
Take a look back at some of his previous evenings at The chequers, including his
farewell night and the
2007 Halloween Night.
The "Return" of Graham Russ - April 2009
Graham has been "on tour" for the past 14 months and returned to our shores this month. It didn't take us long to secure a booking to hear him sing again. What we had not expected was such a great line-up which included not only Pete (lead guitar and sax) once again but Felix Weldon (on his "box of magic") and Veronica Tabbush (violin) too! Absolutely fantastic!
They hadn't managed much practice time (so we were lead to believe) but that certainly did not show this evening. They were "well polished" as one of the regulars commented.
The combination of Graham's guitar, Pete's guitar and sax, Felix on percussion (with very sore hands by the end of the evening) and Veronica's Violin, the whole evening was varied and very entertaining.
We welcomed lots of new visitors too during the evening and look forward to seeing this band feature on our Events list again in the future.
Great music!
