TBYC are proud to present:-

“Wildwood Jack”

Playing live Saturday 24^th October at 8.30pm

www.wildwoodjack.com

After a successful tour of Denmark in the summer & appearances at festivals up and down the UK, Thorpe Bay Yacht Club are delighted to welcome Wildwood Jack – Adam Piggott & Jayne Freeman – to Southend.

Melodic songs with guitar and ukulele fingerstyle sophistication drawing influences from folk, country and world music.

Wildwood Jack is the acoustic duo Adam Piggott and Jayne Freeman.  Touring on regular basis – as well as being featured on BBC local radio – they play all over the south east with frequent gigs in Aldeburgh.

Their sound is a harmonious blend of fingerstyle guitar and ukulele and has been described as a mix of Paul Simon, Leonard Cohen, Nanci Griffith and Ry Cooder. Memorable live shows can feature anything from traditional songs and tunes to a reworked punk classic or even Pink Floyds ‘Shine on You Crazy Diamond’.

Adam says “Everything we do is about maximising the sound and capabilities of the acoustic guitar and ukulele together when we play live. Our style has evolved from playing and experimenting over the years with a lot of influence from folk, country, blues and jazz”.

This is a TBYC-sponsored event – so come along with friends & enjoy what promises to be a very memorable evening of live music!

In light of the fact there is a rather important game for England this evening (!), the Rugby will be showing in the Commodore’s Bar.

We have therefore arranged for the Magic Show with Oliver Tabor to commence around 9.15-9.30pm to allow for this so that everyone can join in with the free members’ evening.

In addition, you will be able to order Tapas on a ‘walk-in’ basis from the hatch if you wish to have some food this evening but haven’t pre-booked.  Those who have pre-booked will be given priority for the dishes and the time they wish to have food.  Those who order on the evening will be served as soon as possible strictly on a first-come-first-served basis.

I look forward to seeing you there!

Don’t miss out on this free social event it’s open to all members and their friends. The Galley Kitchen have said they will be able to still serve people on the night even if you haven’t prebooked.

I am pleased to say that the next free members’ night will take place on Saturday 3rd October.

We will be offering you something slightly different this time and are very excited to announce that Oliver Tabor, a multi-award winning member of the Magic Circle and one of the top magicians in the country will be entertaining us with a night of magic.  We are very fortunate to be able to welcome Oliver to the club – as you can imagine he is in great demand and gets booked up a long way in advance!

For those who wish to make a night of it, our caterers will be offering something slightly different in the form of ‘British Tapas’.  Food must be booked in advance via the attached form (you will also need to book a time for dining) and the deadline for food orders is strictly 12 noon on Tuesday 29th September.

Hello everyone

Just to let you know that the kitchen won’t be open today, Tuesday 8th September.

I do apologise again for any inconvenience. I know there have been a few occasions recently when the kitchen has not been open on a Tuesday, but for me this has been unavoidable because of the holiday season. Although my own son is now back at school I have meetings with his teachers today which are important to attend.

We are trying to recruit another kitchen team member, once we do we can resume our full Tues-Sun timetable.

Normal service will resume tomorrow, Wednesday.

Best regards to all and thank you for your support.

Steve
