Pays to be Posh!!!

Whilst playing at the Dolmen Grove's Tribal Dreams festival at the end of August I made a throw away comment that Spriggan Mist hailed from Royal Berkshire and Surrey cos we are posh!!!! sitting amongst the tents keeping warm...(twas a cold Dorset night) I heard a cheer.....it was indeed a very nice lady from Reading  called Anne Marie Adams ....she has a spot presenting on Reading 4 U  Community Radio and on her 16th of september show she is going to play some Spriggan Mist. click on link if you want to listen in.

should be a great night..we have  a great lineup of musicians ..in no particular order...

Rosa's Daughters..

http://www.myspace.com/rosa39sdaughters
Rosa's Daughters are a harmony duo who love singing. Their repertoire covers Traditonal Engish songs,self-penned material through to contemporary singer/songwriters.Whatever catches their ears really. They play between them a variety of instruments including guitar,citterne,hungarian cittera, appalachian dulcimer and if the occasion arises......keyboards..plus a wide range of percussion stuff.

Mad Magdalen

http://www.myspace.com/madmagdalen
Mad Magdalen describe themselves as easy going, but professional performers looking for some space to offer some good quality tunes and songs for Earthy people. Loads of experience and well house trained......Having seen them at Tribal Dreams...they had the warmer weather and played open air on the friday they are a very talented folk band indeed. Their brand of folk will go down well on spriggan mist presents.


The LBM band

This is a 4-piece band fronted by Mike Peach, the organiser of the ‘Anchor’ Folk-Club in Byfleet. Mike has a distinctive, warm voice and the band plays a mixture of Folk and Contemproary standards. Spriggan mist's very own percussionist Andy Wilkin has been known to play for LBM aklongside Mike Bernie and Louise

Watching Planes

http://www.myspace.com/watchingsomemoreplanes
Watching planes have had several changes in band members recently but one thing is constant, Kris Wilkins ...well two actually, the second being his absolute love of the Beatles. Kris will be joined by Nelson Aguilar to bring to us some Beatles inspired originals. the first link will show you how much Watching Planes do sound like the beatles (although Something has to fall is an original which is my personal fav.)n The second link is more of their original music.

Demios
With a collective age of 39 Paddy ,Carlos and Aaron have upstaged many a "grown up " band in their relative short musical career. This trio are hard to pigeon hole but their sound varies between the subtle keyboard playing by Paddy to to the more rocky sound Carlos and Aaron add to the mix. They play their own compositions which are both musically and lyrically ahead of their young ages.....get there autographs now !!!!

I urge all of you within striking distance of lightwater...(right on junction 3 of  M3) to make the effort and come and support local music.....Mother Dearest will be in attendance so even if you are not really into the music for the princely sum of enough to buy a can of Newcy Brown mother Dearest will do autographs. unfortunately her sidekick and partner in crime Texas Pat is unavailable as she has chainsaw maintenance for pensioners club that night.
For all my Maltese readers..this weekend is the time to come to England.....Yes Mother dearest and Texas Pat are going on pub crawl to Malta.... Farsons(local brewery) and Marsovin( Winery) have been appraised to get more stocks and Maltese Police informed.......
