Ben, Chris, Alan, Paul & Mark
It was great to play host to a live session on this week’s show, with the popular Essex-based function band Re_Public.
Chris, Paul, Ben and Mark play an enormous range of covers in a distinctively energtic style that makes them a huge hit at weddings, birthday parties and other functions large or small; they gave us a taster with their passionate takes on songs originally by Aloe Blacc, Olly Murs, Jason Mraz and Bobby McFerrin.
As well as private functions Re_Public also play regularly at public venues around the area, and next Saturday evening they’re going to be joined by vocalist Amy Langmead to raise money for Little Havens Children’s Hospice at Emmanuel Church Hall in Billericay.
Tickets for the gig – which is organised by The Rotary Club of Billericay – are £15, and you can get them online or from Creatures Great and Small, Enjoy…Cakes & Cafe, Masons or The Olive Branch in Billericay or The Four Vintners in Stock.
