Friday 4th September - Martin Stephenson at The Shakespeare Hotel £10/£8
As predicted this is selling fast so I would encourage you to buy online
at www.wegottickets.com to avoid disappointment. Martin's live shows are
memorable life experiences that transcend music, comedy or art. As true
a representation of the great British eccentric as you could find these
days, a disarmingly warm and open hearted individual. Exactly the same
person on or off stage. And of course a wonderful musician and singer
be it ragtime, country blues, folk, you name it. To hear Martin singing
his song "Rain" is a very special thing.
