ABOUT THIS EVENT
Jim’s Cregan’s early work with Blossom Toes, Family, Linda Lewis, Cat Stevens and Cockney Rebel eventually lead him to join the new band started by Rod Stewart after the break-up of The Faces. Jim stayed for 18 years as Rod’s band-leader, co-writer and co-producer. Together they wrote such songs as Tonight I’m Yours, Forever Young, Passion and most recently Brighton Beach from Rod’s Number 1 album “Time“.
In the mid-90s Jim returned to writing and producing, with credits ranging from Willie Nelson and Kid Rock, to The Gypsy Kings and Joe Cocker, among many, many others. He played on Katie Melua’s first two albums – both reaching number 1 – and has received over 50 gold & platinum records to date, and his guitar solo on Cockney Rebel’s Come Up And See Me (Make Me Smile) still sounds alright!
Last year, Jim thought it might be a wild idea to start a new band to create an intimate evening of stories and songs, taken from a remarkable career as a writer, producer, guitarist and band-leader. So, with old friends, Pat Davey on bass and Sam Tanner on piano, they play music from Jim’s first hit sessions. Starting with Murray Head, through Blossom Toes, Family, Cockney Rebel, Cat Stevens, Rod Stewart, Katie Melua and some of their own hit songs, the evening is both irreverent and captivating. Along the way, they laugh, tell stories and conjure up a certain magic that only comes with age, respect and friendship.
Our intimate venue nestled on The South Downs just outside Brighton is perfect for such a show. Reasonably priced tickets and a licensed bar as well as cabaret and cinema seating will surely make for a brilliant night out and soothe away the troubles of our current world.
Doors open at 7.30pm and we have a great support act on stage at 8pm.
