Old Country Union return to FTMC

THE next edition of Thame’s First Thursday Music Club is at The Stables this coming Thursday,  April 6, with the hugely talented Old Country Union appearing as the featured act at 10pm.

Old Country Union had a fantastic 2016 and featured strongly on the festival scene, including an appearance at the Towersey Festival.  Based in Tring, they produce a sweet, hummin’, strummin’, good time sound with a set made up of their own compositions from their CD Home Brew – together with a selection of classic acoustic rock covers. The band comprises Simon Blanchford, Tim Sweet, John Greville lead by their charismatic front man, Frank Walsh. Together, they produce a very tight sound made up of sweet guitars and vocal harmonies that are an absolute joy to hear.

In addition to OCU, Out of the Village ( featuring Ellie Ruddock) will be making one of her final appearances of 2017 together with Simon Stafford, Caitlin and 2am

The First Thursday Music Club still offers the opportunity for artists to play live in front of a warm and appreciative audience, the club maintains the Open Mic section of the evening where slots will always be available in the first hour on a “first come, first served” basis with player sign-up by 7.30.  The club has a full house PA system with keyboard, bass amp, guitar amp and jazz drum kit (bring breakables!) all set up on stage and ready to go.  Another eclectic evening is guaranteed and entrance, as always, is FREE to all!
