606 Special: 'All Fired Up!'
THIS EVENT IS NOW FULLY BOOKED - CANCELLATION LIST ONLY. THANK YOU!
This band is unquestionably very special. Put together by bass player Trevor Barry from the Tommy Blaize and Strictly Come Dancing bands, along with his friend and studio vocalist Derek Green, this outfit was formed as a tribute to the great Maurice White and his iconic band Earth, Wind and Fire. The amazing musicians they have assembled to do this includes between them work with the likes of Stevie Wonder, Robbie Williams, Pet Shop Boys, Amy Winehouse, Kylie Minogue, Courtney Pine, Simply Red, Will Young, Celine Dion, the Bee Gees...you get the idea. And having put together and rehearsed 14 of the finest players on the scene what they then needed was a gig! Which is where we came in. There was the slight technical issue of how we would get 14 musicians on our bandstand, but Trevor assured me it would be fine (!), and the gig was born. The music is exclusively EW&F material and is played with an intensity and excitement that makes this ensemble much, much more than just a "tribute" band.
