THE CARLTON CLUB welcomes STEVIE WILLIAMS & The Most WANTED BAND ? to
blend momentous melodies and insightful lyrics over songs drawing on
country, Americana, blues, roots, acoustic and folk. ??A free night of
great live music, once again proving the Carlton Club is the place to
be to experience the very best live music ??. A hat will be passed
around for donations that will go towards the band, so please remember
to bring some cash.?
Line Up:
Stevie Williams: lead vocals & bass.
Clive Mellor: harmonica & backing vocals. ?
Markie Creswell: electric guitar & backing vocals. ?
Billy Buckley: electric guitar & lap steel guitar. ?
Dave Hassell: drums & percussion. ?
Hidden in plain sight, these guys are one of the most accomplished
collectives of musicians you are likely to see anywhere ?. All from
the Greater Manchester area, each individual carries their own huge
reputation amongst their peers for being at the top of their trade.
When put together, the sum of the parts is far greater than the whole
?.
They have the magic that comes with being impressed by each other's
consummate skills whilst being totally respectful of each other's
place at the party. If you have had the undoubted pleasure of seeing
them perform You will understand what I am describing. ?
When you mention Stevie Williams (bass) to a northwest muso you get a
knowing nod and a "huge player" kind of response. Much respected for
his work on 4 strings he is the driving force behind this outfit and
the man responsible for their original material. No slouch as a
vocalist either. ?
Markie Cresswell whose Fatboy western swing/rockabilly/fingerpicking
playbook adds a distinctive style and flavour to their sound and is a
perfect foil for Billy Buckley's plethora of styles on lap steel,
telecaster, Rickenbacker, Les Paul, etc... ?
Clive Mellor seems to be everybody's choice of a harmonica player.
Expert, versatile and intuitive, just 3 words that could be used to
describe him. There is nothing he can't play to a stunning level. He
can enhance, improve, show off and shut up, the true mark of a class
player. ?
Dave Hassell - drums. That doesn't quite cover it. Dave is one of
those drummers who you could provide with a biscuit tin and a couple
of coconuts and he would get the job done. Amazingly. What he does,
with what sometimes looks like the contents of a skip with stuff
dangling all over the shop, is a little short of astonishing A true
juke joint percussionist of the first water. ?
Not to be missed!
