COMING UP
 
FRIDAY 20th SEPTEMBER
 
TELEGRAM SAM (A tribute to Marc Bolan and T-Rex)
 
Coming up this Friday, 20th September, at Tropic at Ruislip we see the return of Glam-Rock and our tribute to Marc Bolan and T-Rex with Telegram Sam. It is 47 years (almost to the day) since Marc Bolan was tragically killed in a car accident in Barnes west London.
 
Come down and listen to the music created by a life taken away too soon.
 
Telegram Sam is a band with a rich history of musicianship. The band’s experience spans many years and many bands, most recently with us all together, celebrating T Rex music, for a number of years.
 
The music of Marc Bolan & T.Rex is always very close to our hearts.  We love to keep the music alive in the stages of the venues we have loved to play for many years, as well as exciting new venues, to broaden our horizons. We also relish seeing all the people we’ve met through the years in the Bolan scene and making new, rock loving friends. 
 
Telegram Sam delivers an exciting show, fronted by Noel Ashton, with the whole band bringing their vast experience of performing all the hits of Marc Bolan and T.Rex.

LOOKING FURTHER AHEAD
 
FRIDAY 27th SEPTEMBER


ROD AND THE FACEZ

It is always a cracking party night when “Rod”, backed by a full live band, graces us.

As it says on the web site: -
 
There are other Rod Stewart tribute acts, but none is as convincing as Garry Pease, backed, of course, by his wonderful band.
 
Garry Pease not only looks like Rod Stewart, he sounds like him too! In an all-action, non-stop tribute show, Garry performs all of the favourites from Rod Stewart’s vast portfolio of songs – everything from the early Faces days through to the Old American Songbook.
 
Whatever the event, The Rod Stewart Experience will have you singing along and dancing on their feet in no time.
 
The show has everything you would expect from a real concert – superb showmanship, audience participation and superb songs belted out in exactly the same style as Rod Stewart – in fact, it’s exactly what a Rod Stewart act should be.
 
You’ll hardly know the difference between Garry and Rod Stewart – and once the party gets going, you won’t even care, you’ll be having such a great time.

NEWS
 
ULEZ (a repeat reminder)
 
Please remember that Tropic is inside the ULEZ Zone.
 
Other than the above I have nothing to report.
 
LOOKING BACK
 
MOMENTS OF PLEASURE (Kate Bush tribute)
 
Well that was a first. The first time a band has told the audience they were too quiet!
 
All I can say is the (mainly seated) audience were on their best behaviour and hung on every note, where each and every one was beautifully delivered to them. It was quite a show!
 
If you were there you will know I need no more words, rather like the audience who lapped it up.
 
THE DEL BROMHAM BAND
 
As you probably are aware Derek looks after the Sunday shows but he tells me the night was one of his busiest so far (no surprise there, Del is a legend) and all went well.
 
His next Sunday show is on Sunday 13th October and the return of Toby Walker from the U.S.A.
 
 
I think that is all
 
 
Regards
