About Performers & Pints

Local Live Music Legends 2010-2019

Performers & Pints Description

Local Live Music Legends:

Performers & Pints was, for 9 1 /2 years, Potton's very own 6 times a year live music night of loveliness, right in the heart of this Bedfordshire town.

Potton based muso Will Mak was the creator, and Charlie, Sal, Kev & Will made up the dream team who hosted, organised, & promoted the night.

The vision was as follows: QUALITY & DIVERSITY of brilliant emerging musical artists "right in your own back yard"!

It gave amazing up & comers the chance to perform to a different & appreciative audience. It gave the local audience the chance to experience amazing artists performing live nearby, instead of needing to go to Hitchin or Cambridge or Bedford or Stevenage or Milton Keynes or a field far away, in order to witness the cream of rising musical talent.

Last up for Performers & Pints at The Rising Sun in Potton at on Saturday 2nd March is Elizabeth & Jameson from Bedford, a stunning collaboration between two rising stars of the UK folk/pop/rock scene comprising of Hannah Elizabeth of Said The Maiden and Griff Jameson from Fred's House. Playing all over the UK with the trio Said the Maiden, Hannah Elizabeth's influences are very much planted within traditional folk roots. This is in stark contrast to Griff Jameson's recent mu...sical history, having penned a string of quirky rock/pop anthems for Fred's House. Together, Elizabeth & Jameson arguably offers the best of both backgrounds; this is simplistic, classic song writing at its best - a stripped back, harmony-driven sound with guitar, violin and exquisite vocals. They have released two EP's and they are currently working on their debut album.They have opened up for the likes of Scott Matthews, Bob Fox, Richard Digance Official, John Kirkpatrick, Jon Allen and DaoirΓ­ Farrell. They have also received two nominations from the Cambridge based The NMG Awards for Best Folk, Country & Acoustic Act in 2017 and 2018. Picture Credit below goes to Matthew Rix
