This week I visited the Riverside Studios in Hammersmith
(great venue), the guest of Lisbee Stainton (see gig this summer & appearing here Sat. 7th)
at a special show hosted by
DJ Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6, Fresh on the net.
Celebrating the bands and musicians he has showcased over two years,
he selected just a handful, 30-40, the most promising of the very best of 3000
to play in front of an invited audience.
Lisbee and her band (Dee and Simon) were Tom singled out for particular praise;
she is that good and you will hear much,
much more of this girl in the future. I was delighted to be there, I really loved the venue,
as much as to tell you with confidence, the Drawingroom standard is every bit as high
….and there’s more of it on the way

Everyone involved should be proud of everything this ‘all inclusive’ theatre company have achieved in so short a time.

Maxine&Mandy two local 16&17 year olds who have already earned their Drawingroom colours along
with the likes of Tinlin and Jack Garratt. Jack Headlined here for the first time and was on fire. The evening kicked off with Tom Greenwood and Les Payne Jamming to some of Les’s material. Gill Holdsworth followed and gets better each time she performs.

3 voices, 3 unique styles, 3 sets of original music from 3 extraordinary female artists
Treana, lead singer of Wire Daisies… and bringing a sneek preview from Sharron (or at least her album) her debut album will be out later this year,
rounding off the evening with the most important rock musician to emerge since Led Zeppelin
or Patti Smith Juju the voice, guitar and lyrics of Little Fish.
21st. Feb. 09: Tim is one of the most gifted music producers in Europe at this time
and together with the breathtaking voice and beauty of Rebecca, they are BIM. With over 400 published compositions to his name, it is not this statistic that will wow you; it is his unique style and stunning command of the guitar. You may know or recognise him as the ever patient inexhaustible father of Ike and Eady……however, behind that untarnished visage resides
MR TOM GREENWOOD ….and finally came Belle Humble, accomapnied by Jason on base…all the way from….London town.
Acoustic / Tropical / Pop a terrific hit with everyone, they were both truely professional and finished off a terrific evening…
Thank you …one and all.
