Strange Town


Relief washes o’er me with the realisation that a brace of Calmer* shows has been announced. These are always unusual events and the hepcats that a-gather in the spa town to a-seek musical treats do so with the proviso that they should always ‘expect the unexpected’. The second Calmer* features Martin Stephenson who will surely take no prisoners in the compact and bijou Slak Bar with his energetic guitaring style, ebullient banter and accomplished songsmithery. I look forward to these evenings.

Wierdly enough, I know Chris TT (Aug 14th) from these Brighton parts - know his missis Rifa, both lovely folk, and a top singer/songwriter type character...

Is that pronounced 'Reefer'? I look forward to seeing him although he looks a touch scary in his picture. Calmer* is always a cracking night out, the most cutting edge musical evening in the county, I'd wager.

Yes tis Reefer. Chris used to play with an outfit called Magoo back in the day. He also plays with JimBob (ex Carter)'s solo band and recently with frank turner, altho not seen either of these.
Is Chris playing solo or with band at this one? Either are a good night out.
See myspace for more.....right kids.

Solo, I believe.
