The next Music Night, on Friday 13th March, is Sunbury Cricket Club's now-traditional annual event in aid of The Mayor of Spelthorne’s Charities, featuring its house band THE CHAIN GANG. This year’s Mayor of Spelthorne is Cllr. John Doran, a councillor for Stanwell North, whose charities are Surrey Care Trust – Stanwell Community Group,1st Stanwell Air Scout Group, Families Thriving Together and Spelthorne Museum.
As ever, the Club has assembled the great and good of our local musicians collective based at the Club led by Music Night organiser Paul Watts, under their customary name of THE CHAIN GANG in honour of the Mayor’s chain of office, to give their services free to perform what will be a great night of 60s, rock ‘n’ roll, blues, country and rock classics.
This year’s line-up features Karl Green, the former original and long-time bass player in Herman’s Hermits, along with guitarists Gerry Cook, formerly of The Saxons and now with a host of bands, and Tim Renton from 3AM, plus bass players Martin House, also from 3AM and Roger Harding from the Thames TV Big Band, drummer Stephane Booroff from Sky High and The Escorts, and who was formerly with Edison Lighthouse, plus harmonica wizard and blues singer Geoff Forester, who has played with numerous blues luminaries.
All proceeds go to the Mayor’s Charities, and the Club looks forward to a bumper crowd for a fun community night to raise as much as they can for some very good causes.
Hot food, prepared by our resident caterers Surplus To Supper, will be available as usual from about 6.30pm, with the band on stage around 8.30 pm or soon after.
Admission is £10.00 on the door, payable by cash or card.
