Coming to The Musician in November 2020

Supple krautrock drums, post-punk bass, avant guitars and moody electronics combine to create epic brooding soundtracks that build and ebb and flow, with esoteric cultural commentary.

Except this time the quality has been turned up to 11. And sometimes they just rock out. This time it's Echolocation in...Obfuscation for the Nation! Can you read between the lines? Do you know your own mind? Can you make up your own mind? Stay on topic!

This is a limited capacity, all-seated gig with table service.

Due to the COVID-19 lockdown, Wake Up Promotions Unplugged has been rescheduled for Friday 8th January 2021. All tickets will remain valid for the new date.

Due to the announcement of further COVID-19 restrictions, the Echolocation show has been brought forward to Tuesday 3rd November.

Due to the ongoing COVID-19 restrictions, the Phil Robson Organ Trio show has been cancelled and refunds will be issued via TicketWeb.

Sally Barker with Keith Richard Buck

Sally is re-united for this first show of the year by multi- nstrumentalist Keith Richard Buck.
Sally Barker's appearance as Sir Tom Jones' finalist in the Voice UK 2014 belies a long career in music - one that wasn't spent singing pop covers for a light entertainment audience but fashioned in the folk clubs of the British Isles. In a career spanning the best
part of 40 years, English singer/songwriter Sally has released a string of solo albums and been a part of dozens more, notably with fem-folksters The Poozies.
In her time Sally has supported (amongst many others) Bob Dylan, Robert Plant, Jools Holland and Sir Tom himself, worked with inspirational musicians such as averick double bass genius Danny Thompson, country folk-rock guitarist Jerry Donahue, the mercurial
accordionist Karen Tweed and legendary drummer Dave Mattocks. Sally is fresh from a Journey across the States with long-time collaborator Vicki Genfan, writing and recording 'in the wild' at some of America's most remote and windswept places.

Sally is still working on the follow up to her 2017 solo album 'Ghost Girl' and some of these songs are already in her live solo set !

“You have the most beautiful voice that has ever been on this show.” Sir Tom Jones on
The Voice UK

Keith, who cites Paul Kossoff and James Taylor as guitar-playing inspirations, was playing
hookie from school at 14 to tour with rock bands. In his 20s he mastered the pedal steel guitar, mandolin, piano and banjo to continue his musical education with country rock outfits.
Keith joined Sally's band in the 90s, playing on several highly acclaimed albums. Session work in early 2000s led to work with Martin Turner's Wishbone Ash with whom he
remained until 2008 when he accepted an offer to join Talon. Playing the songs of the Eagles, Keith is currently enjoying his 15 th year with the award winning tribute band.

“The emotion and passion in her voice, the vulnerability and fragility of her vocal is an art

that not too many singers can master” Maverick Magazine

The Small Fakers were officially launched on a chilly night in February 2007 at a central London shindig attended by fans and associates of the East End's very own fab four, the seminal, sensational Small Faces.

The buzz in the audience that night was intense. Could the SMALL FAKERS even hope to come close to replicating the sound, and the look, of the Small Faces?

Cut to the end of the night and the band have ripped through twenty classic tracks, from Whatcha Gonna Do About It to Tin Soldier with effortless style and swagger, and the audience is almost delerious with excitement, and satisfaction. The Fakers have delivered the goods.
