Porvari – Eastbourne based Folk/Rock/Pop duo
Eastbourne Underground Theatre 16th May 2008 8pm
This will be our 3rd Glorious Year at the UGT for what must now be classed as a great Porvari tradition! As per last year we are lining up a range of young local talent to kick off the evening; Joe Whimpenny and George O'Brien are already confirmed and we hope to add another couple of support acts. The second half will be pure Porvari - what the UGT website describes as "Original songs, many instruments (and) gutsy vocals"!Come along and see what the fuss is all about!
