THE BRIGHTON ACOUSTIC SESSION.
Monday June 4th
LAURA WARD & THE RISEN ROAD
Laura’s take on traditional Irish and American songs is highly original, as
are her interpretations of contemporary material.
Although her voice could silence a room on her own her talents are fully
realised by a superb bunch of backing musicians.
Adding harmonies as well as superb playing are Mervyn Wallis on
fiddle, multi- instrumentalist Matt Szul and Kansas-born Scott
Smith, whose lap steel virtuosity is already the stuff of local legend.
With the occasional addition of a string bass and cajun melodeon, this is an
outfit not to be missed.
The Lord Nelson, Trafalgar Street, Brighton, BN1 4ED
a real ale pub 100
metres from Brighton Station.
The atmosphere is informal so if you’re a singer or musician
you’ll be guaranteed a floor spot before the main act of the evening.
We start at 8.30 and admission is free (with a collection.)
