Just to confuse the issue, although the main body of my e mail re the MIKE SANCHEZ gig at South Parade Pier gives the correct day of THURSDAY 3rd FEb, for some reason I put in the E mail Subject Heading that the date was Saturday - please rest assured that the day is DEFINITELY THURSDAY 3rd FEBRUARY and doors open at 8 p.m. Sorry, folks - must have had a brainstorm.... Here's the message again, in case you missed it! MIKE SANCHEZ- solo at Bullfrog Blues Club, South Parade Pier, Southsea, Thursday 3rd February MIKE SANCHEZ is one of the most exciting and charismatic performers of rhythm & blues and rock 'n' roll in the world today. This fantastic singer, pianist and guitarist is currently a full-time member of Bill Wyman's Rhythm Kings, now fronting the band for the third year running alongside Georgie Fame, Albert Lee and Andy Fairweather Low on their annual world tours. However, at The Bullfrog Blues Club gig, he'll be appearing solo. In 2003 Mike was honoured to be voted 'UK Keyboard Player of the Year' for the fourth year running by "Blues in Britain" magazine. His indelible image as a frenetic front man, pumping powerful boogie-woogie from the piano in a soaking red suit, has won him fans from all over the world and attracted a following from many famous rock and blues legends who have worked with him. Mike formed The Big Town Playboys in 1984, specialising in authentic post-war rhythm & blues. Andy Fairweather Low was guitarist with the band for two years. The Big Town Playboys had various stints opening for Eric Clapton at London's Royal Albert Hall and appeared at many European music festivals, backing top bluesmen like Lowell Fulson, Don & Dewey, Joe Hughes, Jimmy Nelson, Carey Bell and Little Willie Littlefield. Mike's main aim has always been to make every live show his best yet as he continuously enjoys growing acclaim and admiration for his electrifying stage performances from new and old fans of all age groups across the world.
