Al Steele & Friends - The Loose Ensemble at the End of the World
The Wharf, Widcombe Social Club, Widcombe Hill, Bath, BA2 6AA
AL STEELE IS A PRINCIPLE MEMBER/WRITER WITH THE KORGIS. HE HAS WORKED WITH BONNIE TYLER, DEL SHANNON, THE SUPREMES, DAVID SOUL AND HAS PERFORMED AT THE ROYAL ALBERT HALL, THE LONDON PALLADIUM AND RECENTLY NEW YORK TOWN HALL.
The new Al Steele & Friends ensemble, is a flexible thing - like Dylan's Rolling Thunder Review, or The Alan Parsons Project, where members can change and different people feature on each gig.
Al is thrilled to have some new members of the band - the very funky Nick Walker on bass, and the uber-talented Hannah Morgan on vocals, guitar and keys. Old Korgis friends, Paul Smith and Nigel Hart will be often present, along with new featured member Ray Gee on vocals. Ray brings a dose of the blues and a touch of Preacher, and is featured heavily on the forthcoming album 'u & i @ The End of the World'. Al's talented Heritage Chart stars, Elaine Gilmore, Danielle Nicholls and Joe Matera will be featured on some gigs, and as usual it will be a full multi-media show with The Korgis video screens attending!
We will be drawing material from Al's three existing albums (and some previews of the new album in the works), plus some of The Korgis material from Kartoon World, Kool Hits and UN-United Nations.
With such a dazzling array of unique artists in the melting pot it would be a crime not to feature them in their own right, so we will also be doing that!
Each gig will be different - each gig will have a different line-up - AND THEY WILL ALL BE FUN! Hope you can make it to some - or all - of these unique events.
