About Me |
|
| SINGER SONGWRITERS AND ACOUSTIC PERFORMERS - you've come to the right My Space here as I run VIC'S BUSKERS ACOUSTIC NIGHTS in SURREY and HAMPSHIRE - an opportunity for musicians to perform to a friendly supportive audience. I also have opportunities for originals artists to do "feature sets" or "support slots" from time to time. Regular venues:FARNHAM - LAST THURSDAY @ the Plough.
GRAYSHOTT - ACOUSTIC SHOWCASE @ the Fox & Pelican.
FLEET - LAST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH @ Propaganda Music Canteen.
HASLEMERE - 1ST SUNDAY OF THE MONTH @ Crown & Cushion.
ALTON - LAST TUESDAY OF THE MONTH @ Railway Arms. More info on 07917 403052. It is mainly pre-booked slots for these or "turn up on the night". A great opportunity for acoustic singer songwriters to get their music out there!More at www.vicsbuskers.co.ukAbout me - I've been playing music since I started learning the drums at 15 years old in the seventies and played drums in various bands. Later (much later) I took up the piano, singing and guitar. I've been a professional musician since 2005 and do a lot of gigs either solo, duo or with my "party" band Something 4 The Weekend around Surrey, Hampshire and Sussex. I write songs though I'm not very prolific.More at www.viccracknell.co.uk |
