Hi all
I'm playing a short stint at a little music event at a church in Bearwood near Birmingham on Saturday 17th July. This year is a very scaled back affair, normally they've done a full three day thing with various creative events over the weekend but this year it's just a couple of hours of music from a few local performers. It'll hopefully be outside in the church garden area to allow distanced seating, and there will be the usual refreshments available (you can bring your own).
Free to attend but they are asking people to sign up for tickets for Track & Trace -
http://www.tiny.cc/threeshires is the ticket website.
3 Shires Festival is the standard website.
Last year due to Covid we did an online festival instead, I've put my video (I'm Matt) below as well as a few others from the day.
It's not a big flash event, we are a humble bunch of people who do our best to put on some nice music, albeit music which is aimed at people "of an age" at a church!
Let me know if you want any other details from me
Here's some vids from last year:

There may be videos taken throughout the event, and I may attempt a bootleg audio recording of the whole thing if the sound system setup allows me to tap into a line out.
We shall be doing music suitable for an audience of a certain age (!), so sadly I'm not able to do any grunge or garage rock this time around haha but should still be fun. Will be doing the lines of the videos above but live in person

I think it's a bit like a steel pan but instead of hitting the inside of a pan with a stick, you hit the outside with your hands.
She was amazing! There's loads more videos of her on that channel. But unfortunately she won't be joining us this year

Thanks for the good luck wishes - I'll need all the good fortune I can get!

Top of the list for me was the guest singer who smashed out an incredible version of Stevie Wonder's "As" but unfortunately I didn't film that one on my phone (silly me) but this was pretty cool all the same:
This was another chap, an original song
And me, if you're ready to face it (brilliant camera angle I know)
I really need to learn how to not speed up when I'm nervous, and to get used to listening to loud speakers rather than my own natural volume.
