 CONCERT FOR ALBANIA

Since the fall of communism there have been many improvements in Albanian society, including the educational system. However there are still many children living in State Orphanages who do not have the same opportunities as other students. Steph and Dave Bendall spent several years working in such an orphanage in Saranda, southern Albania and all proceeds from this evening will go towards the educational needs of the orphanage.

 

This concert will feature local duo,'The Gatecrashers'. Steph Bendall and Lydia Dakin will be singing together for the first time and there is guest speaker, Ben Delija who works with the homeless in Burton and is Albanian.

 

The MC is local magician and all round entertainer Paul Brown (Magical Mayhem) and there will be an up to date audio-visual presentation of the children from the Orphanage.

 AYNSLEY LISTER


Aynsley Lister does not simply reheat the blues of yesteryear - no simple 12 bar numbers here. He produces songs with a contemporary feel and sound, infusing influences from the 1960's blues boom era with a more current melodic and lyrical approach. Aynsley is one of the very few artists playing rocking blues with a modern edge - tangible, heartfelt, soul searching and full of fine songwriting; played with passion, vitality and simply stunning guitar work, reminiscent of a young Clapton.


"Anysley Lister is a precocious talent who looks like one of McFly and plays like Robert Johnson at volume 11" Pete Makowski, Classic Rock (June Edition)
