Music at Marks & Spencer

Jun 23rd, 2008 by Steve Bradley | 4

Sheila will host, and sing her own songsSutton-based Irish comedienne Sheila M (pictured top)will show her versatility by hosting a three-and-a-half hour session of music at M&S on Saturday July 12 - and performing some original songs herself.

Sheila, who runs a comedy night at The Place 2B, will be joined by guitarist Gregg Jones to showcase their compositions as The Sweet Peas between 12.15pm and 1pm in the store’s Cafe Revive.

Preceding her will be Beryl and Tony Baker, a husband and wife duo who play cover versions of songs from the 50s to the present day (10.30am to 11am), and Gary Saunders (pictured bottom), a singer-songwriter who has penned 500 numbers over the years and who once supported Tyrannosaurus Rex before they became T-Rex (11.15am-12 noon).

Keyboard wizard Stuart Jones (middle), whose compositions range from classical to funk, boogie-woogie to jazz, and pop to new age, will display his special talents, in the company of some of his musical friends, from 1.15pm to 2pm.

It will be a busy weekend for Stuart, who appears with fellow pianist Martin Rowberry aka Sniper for some musical duels at the ivories at Fairfax School, under the collective name of Blister, on the evening of July 12 (7.30pm).

He also presents his debut musical Shirt & Tie, which pulled 600 punters to the mac earlier this year, at Sutton Town Hall on Sunday July 13.
