Subject: FW: NOEL MCCALLA PERFORMANCES MAY/JUNE & advance dates
Here we go.......lengthy details about some of the events as
Noel has quite a diversity of performances that he is regularly fulfilling.
I try and give you some information to go on but often more is found
online at the websites that are shown.......
Having being at all of these performances before I can
honestly say the musicianship and vocals are top class and if you haven't been
to one of these evenings....try something different maybe......
Would love your suggestions of venues for particularly The
Noel McCalla Acoustic Trio but any of the bands love a new venue and are
available for a private hire.

NOEL IS VOCALIST WITH "KARL
HUDSON'S GROOVE NIGHT"
Since
arriving in London in 2006, Lincolnshire-born pianist Carl Hudson has been
steadily establishing himself as one of the most interesting and versatile
keyboard players in the UK. Equally comfortable playing modern jazz, funk,
Brazilian, R&B or soul on piano, keyboard or synthesizer, he has performed
with UK jazz saxophone heavyweights such as Peter King and Mornington Lockett
as well contributing to live sessions with the Average White Band and Sister
Sledge. He has also worked closely with producer/performer Soulpersona, being
the featured keyboard player in his Digisoul collective since 2010 and has
recorded and performed live with numerous artists including the likes of
Jamiroquai drummer Nick Van Gelder, Jocelyn Brown, Leon Ware, Omar and The
Valentine Brothers. His live show includes a mixture of straight ahead modern
and more contemporary styles interwoven into a diverse and engaging repertoire.
We have asked Carl to curate a series of "Groove" nights here for us at the
Club and so expect some funk/groove classics, as well as original compositions
from this dynamo of a player. Tonight Carl will be featuring compositions from
his upcoming album and will be joined by his regular guitarist, the up-comingBobby Quigley, along with a group of amazing
hand-picked musicians, many of whom are outstanding bandleaders in their own
right, including Andy
Tolman bass, Nick van Gelder (Jamiroquai) drums, Paul Silver keyboards, plus Carl's Special
Guest Vocalist Noel
McCalla(Manfred Mann). As Carl commented, keep an eye out for
"tasty morsels tucked away in the pantheon of great groove tunes" and
get ready to bop unashamedly!
"A true musical genius?Carl Hudson has
just ?made one of my all time favourite albums" Soulpersona;
"One of
the..."baddest"?keyboard players that I
have heard for a long, long time. Carl Hudson's playing just makes me wanna
sing !" Jocelyn Brown.
