Last week we put on three nights of Prince at Hideaway in Streatham featuring David McAlmont and Baby Sol as part of our Wall To Wall series. Previously we’ve showcased the music of David Bowie, Aretha Franklin and the Bond movies and frankly I’ve been itching to get stuck into Prince night for ages!
If you missed the shows (shame on you!) then luckily for you Hideaway are rather excellent at putting together videos from the shows so ere’s a couple of clips for you to check out. I’m pretty sure we’ll be putting on the Prince show again sometime next year so watch this space for announcements of dates. The Bowie show is definitely happening again at the beginning of next year so check out the Hideaway website for dates and get yourselves booked in. They sell out pretty fast…

The brand new album from The Duckworth Lewis Method is out today!! If you can find a record shop still standing (!) go out right now and grab yourself a copy. The band has a sparkly new website which looks fantastic and they put out a video for the first single It’s Just Not Cricket. It looks a bit like this…

Last week saw the debut of our new Bowie show at Hideaway featuring the awesome duo of David McAlmont and Sam Obernik. Or ‘Sam & Dave’ as they now like to be called…
We played three nights at Hideaway in Streatham with a great band including Janette Mason on piano, Jack Pollitt on drums and Dave Ital on guitar.
As usual, Hideaway have edited together a few videos from the show so I thought I’d post them all together here in what has become the traditional fashion. In fact I’d very much recommend subscribing to their YouTube channel to keep up to date with what’s going on over there. Anyway, here are the Bowie videos. I hope you enjoy them…
David McAlmont & Sam Obernik: Changes
David McAlmont: Young Americans
David McAlmont: Starman (with some bass action from me)
Our next show at Hideaway starts next week and will feature the music of Ella Fitzgerald and Sarah Vaughan, presented by Nicola Emmanuelle and Juliet Roberts. I’d get booking if I were you folks…
