This coming bank holiday Sunday, the 6th May will host a wonderful gig at Chinnerys on Southend seafront. It’s been organised by Dawson’s Music Management and it’s in aid of Help For Heroes. The lineup is a wonderful showcase of rock music from Southend and beyond- Rough Divide, Herida and Minerva Falls. It was a pleasure to be joined in the studio by Richard from the management company, Felipe from Herida and Ross from Minerva, who were joining me to talk about the event and catching up with their latest material and how they’re evolving musically. As I expected, the conversation flowed quite nicely and we covered a lot of ground, including their passion for music, which led to sharing of tracks by Pearl Jam and The Black Crowes.
Speaking of upcoming gigs, I couldn’t talk about upcoming bank holiday fun without mentioning a great night ahead, this Friday 2nd at the Boston Music Room in Tuffnell park where fellow Musical Meanderings stalwarts The Cortège shall also be rocking amongst another great line up. I celebrated by playing Homo Empathicus from their mighty Triangle EP. It’s all available to listen to again here:
