Congratulations to David Edwards at the Ventnor Winter Gardens. The message below arrived in the VentnorBlog inbox today from contributor Roger Regular. A man who knows a thing or two about music and promotions. Ed
I have been looking through the list of events coming-up at the Winter Gardens and I must admit I am impressed.
With such names as: the Animals, Focus, Groundhogs, Wishbone Ash, Aydenne Simone, the Gathering and Derrin Nauendorfe.
I’m lucky enough to be at the age where I have seen some of these acts and have records of most of them.
The last one I have seen is Derrin; he is one heck-of-a-guitarist and with his new band, he should be one not-to-be-missed.
If you only go to see one band or wondering whether to go or not, then my advice would be GO TO DERRINS gig.
It goes to show, with the right people involved, you can get good talent here; why can’t Ryde do this?
