Mighty Ways @ Whanganui Musicians Club

Description

Guitarist/singer/songwriter Bill Angus and his Mighty Ways project are coming down from AUCKLAND to perform at our next club night on Friday 3 November.
Bill dedicated his life in England to his music, and like so many creative artists took to teaching to support himself. A job offer from Massey University brought him to Auckland ten years ago, where he continues to follow his muse. He has met up with musicians with whom he continues to perform and record his original material, featuring at folk festivals, open mics and clubs throughout the country.
The musicians he is bringing with him to Whanganui on this visit are Emily Allen on violin and viola, and Maggie Cocco on backing vocals. Both are extraordinary artists in their own right. Emily has played and toured nationally and internationally with symphony orchestras, and applies her talents to produce, in Bill’s words, ‘genius classical-edged folky arrangements’ for his compositions. Maggie is trained in opera, has sung backup vocals for the likes of Billy Joel and Jo Cocker, and leads her own bands here in New Zealand. The music these three personalities produce is sure to be amazing, and will feature songs from Bill’s recently released album entitled ‘All night before the world began’.
Also appearing....Blue Veinz, Dahlia.... and a whole lot more. Tickets $15 non-members $10 Members. Doors open at 7... See you there!

Also playing tonight is WIRELESS  a band formed at Collegiate College who first performed at our Open Mic session.    They had such an awesome response that the Club are pleased to have  them back to do a half hour set.   This is a band to watch in the future.
