'The Haydays'. The Haydays formed in summer of 2008 born from a jam session between lifelong friends at the Cambridge Folk Festival. Singers Lizzie Day and Jojo Hayman grew up singing together. They are accompanied by Tom Anghileri (guitar) and Keith Day (double bass) to produce an acoustic sound rich in harmonies. Their material covers a wide range from acoustic reworks of rock and roll and soul classics, through country, folk and jazz, to covers of modern acoustic music. Lizzie and Jo are both trained performers, and Keith has 40 years of semi pro performance behind him, and is honoured to support the youngsters. As usual, in addition to the main acts of the evening we are able to field a number of floor spots. Try it out! The Acoustic Café is fast becoming established as a venue for excellent entertainment. For more details or to book spot to play check the website or contact kim@acoustic-cafe.org.uk You will be made very welcome. The number wishing to play is steadily increasing. To avoid disappointment get there early! It gives us a chance of getting you on the list and setting up the sound. |
