APRIL AT THE PIPING HOT CHICKEN SHOP...bookings on 5255 1566 or pipinghotchicken@gmail.com
Ahoy music lovers, we have a very entertaining month ahead of us.
Sat 3 April 8pm $10 Kurt Williams Band
We shared the adolescent roller coaster with our sons and their mates
at Queenscliff High School. They were thrilled, we screamed.
Star of the school production was Kurt Williams. While most settled
down, Kurt took the hard road; music. But it has taken him to a career
on the Sydney music circuit. This Easter Kurt returns to Ocean Grove
to show us how a local boy made good in the big smoke.
The show will be a celebration of his terrific success and an
inspiration to others.
Sat 10 April 8pm $15 The Hornets
Q. Why does a band of Australian rock royalty travel to Ocean Grove to
play in a chicken shop?
A. Because they love to play, especially to an appreciative audience.
The Hornets played to an encore demanding full house in February. After the show, the perspiring guitarist Jeff Burstin told me that the
crowd inspired him to play well. The years of performing with Wayne
Burt that got them inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame shone
through. Daddy Cool bassist Wayne Duncan was great along with Horne
and drummer Chris Tabone who has played with the Bad Loves, Chris
Wilson's Spidermen and the glamorous Junes. They will be back, we
trust you will be too.
Sat 17 April 8pm $20 Dutch Tilders
After repeated requests from Ocean Grove blues fans I tracked down the
Dutchman and secured a date. Unlike the guitar virtuosos in the
Hornets, Dutch Tilders believes the blues is the song and the guitar
is just the accompaniment. What an amazing comparison. My research
reads "standing ovation/encore". Dutch Tilders is a legend. Another
legendary night at the chicken shop.
Fri 23 April 8pm $10 The Luke Howard Trio
Pianist composer Luke Howard is returning to Melbourne from Berlin to
perform at the Melbourne International Jazz Festival on May 5 in the
Melbourne Recital Centre. He will be joined by bass player Jonathon
Zion and drummer Daniel Farrugia. Zion and Farrugia recently
captivated an audience at the chicken shop as part of the Anton
Delecca Quartet. The Luke Howard Trio will perform at the chicken shop
on Thursday 23 April in preparation for the jazz festival. When these
three musicians go on tour, it starts at Tullamarine.
Sat 24 April 8pm $15 Sarah Carroll, Den Hanrahan, The Wildes
Our very own princess of song Lady Sarah GaGa Carroll has been busy
performing at festivals and venues around the country and has
graciously squeezed us into her busy schedule. As she should, it is
she who is driving this run away train. Sarah has a great circle of
talented musician friends and she loves to invite them down to the
chicken shop which has put us on the map. Den Hanrahan played here
last year and he was fantastic. He is a great story teller, guitar,
banjo, harp player and stomp box stomper that make him a real upbeat
live entertainer.
The 4 piece Melbourne alternative country band The Wildes are also
busy on the road and in the studio and are receiving great press. I
have had holiday makers look at their poster in the shop window and
come into the shop and tell me how good they are. So this will be a
very entertaining night featuring the many derivations of country
music by great Australian performers, hope you can come along.
Cheeeeers
