The final line-up for this summer’s annual Under a Summer Moon concert in Burnham-On-Sea has been announced this week.
The popular concert will be held on Saturday 26th July at Burnham’s BASC Ground and full details are available here.
Top of the bill will be ‘Geno Washington and his Ram Jam Band’ (pictured right), supported by The Move, Hogg, The Communicators, Re-Offender and Wilderland. Also featured will be internationally-known rock artist Pete Pracownik.
Unlike previous years, the event will be held entirely undercover following the bad weather of last year when several performers pulled out at the last minute.
Tickets are on sale now, priced £12.50 in advance from GC Music and The Old Pier Tavern, with credit card sales on 01278 783161.
“We intend to bring Burnham a quality show that is affordable. It will be a popular line-up without the use of tribute bands,” said organiser Jeff Ham of Alfresco Events, the newly-formed group that has taken over the running the concert.
After reading an article in a local music magazine which suggested there might be no concert this summer, local music promoters Jamie Roberts of the Pier Tavern, Malcolm of Malcolm’s PA’s, plus Gordon and Jeff of Burnham Rock, came together to save the event.
Geno Washington is generally acknowledged as the leading soul artist in the UK, while The Move are a 1960s rock sensation featuring Bev Bevan (drums) and Trevor Burton (lead guitar and vocals).
The Communicators are a well-known South West of England ska band (pictured above), and Re-Offender is a cover band from Weston-Super-Mare.
Hogg (pictured right) is a three-piece high energy rock band that recently played at the Isle of Wight Music Festival and Hyde Park.
The group features John Hogg (vocals and guitar) and Martin Wright (drums) and Jesse Wood (bass).
Wilderland, who will be opening the show, are from North Devon and play a mix of folk, punk, celtic rock and American Roots.
The event’s special guest will be internationally known rock artist Pete Pracownik, who will be available for signing examples of his work.
Tickets are on sale now, priced £12.50 in advance from GC Music and the Old Pier Tavern. Credit card sales are welcome on 01278 783161.
