M.A.D.S.PROMOTIONS PRESENTS
in association with the
FORDHAM MUSIC FESTIVAL .. Well, i had to do it sometime i guess.so here goes . I have been a musician pretty much my whole life.At the moment i am involved with three bands,and as a singer/songwriter i also play solo and duo gigs.I am a qualified music facilitator and teacher among other things. My bands are; MEDICINE TREE, This band is one serious outfit comprising of myself on vocals and guitar. John Pannel on bass guitar and John Coote on drums.Together we play original material which encompasses just about any musical style you can think of, delivered with a huge sound or haunting subtlty, often in the same track. We also play covers that a three piece really has no right attempting. We don't use any backing tracks or audio trickery at all. If we cant play it live, we dont play it at all..Dr ZAK, This is your archityple balls out rock'n'roll band. We've been together for about 13 years and have become part of the landscape around east anglia, playing anything from football stadiums and major bike rallys to peoples front rooms. Again, i front the band, guitar,vocals,harmonica e.t.c. with Mark White on bass and Pete ''the beat'' Knightley on drums.If your still drinking, we'll still be playing..POONTANG, You can find out more, download some of our material e.t.c from www.myspace.com/poontangband . Frontman for Poontang is Texan, Bobby Ray,vocals and guitar with myself on lead guitar. Barry Day on bass and Pete knightley on drums. We play original material with an american feel, blues,country rock as well as Doors,Van Zandt and Montgomery Gentry covers amongst others.It's infectious stuff. SITES TO CHECK OUT

BELOW IS A REVIEW OF A POONTANG GIG AT THE WINELIGHT CLUB IN NORWICH WRITTEN BY STEVE,THE ORGANISER. Friday, December 08, 2006What an end to the year !!!As Jeff Bridges once said ( without a trace of irony ! ) on some unbearably sanitised US TV music ..ary .... " Phew ! ....Rock and Roll ! "After last Wednesday , I..m with Jeff . Our final Winelight Night of 2006 looked to be normal enough on paper ( well, as " normal " as our occasionally eccentric mix of styles CAN be ! ) Beautiful female singer songwriters ....unfairly young and talented up-and-coming award-winning male songwriter.....and an acoustic duo playing country/blues/rock .But the "duo " gradually transformed itself into the full-strength , hairy -assed tattoo-flaunting bunch of ornery critters that is Poontang ! I had a mild panic attack ...which turned to a full-on crisis when their guitarist unloaded an FX pedal-board the size of a small South American state !Meanwhile , our other artists were dispensing the more traditional Winelight fare.The lovely Nathalie Nahai brought us a small glimpse of serenity with her beautiful and moving songs and haunting voice . A swift return to the Winelight is guaranteed for her, I feel . John Galea , who had recently won a national songwriting contest , showed us just why the judges had chosen him , and performed with confidence and soul. He, too , will be back. Fiona Bevan brought a smile to many a face with her dazzling lyrical dexterity and jazz-tinged voice . Original, charming and slightly dark at times, we look forward to her return too !Then it was time to transform the Winelight into a full-on rock venue. And we did it .....all four members of Poontang somehow squeezed into our cosy little " music corner " , and we were ready to rock !And boy, did they rock ! We..d surely never envisaged roadhouse-style country rock and blues in our little venue , but that..s what Poontang had brought with them all the way from the wild and woolly .....well, Cambridge actually ! And , yes you guessed it , we..ll be trying to shoe-horn them back into the Winelight again , I..m sure .It was a great way to end our final Winelight night of 2006 in an almost party atmosphere , and it was impossible not to smile ...which is what it..s all about , I suppose !Thanks to Nathalie, Fiona , John and Poontang for a great night , and to the staff of The Wine Press for helping Tony and I to bring our little dream to life, and for everyone who has played, watched , or supported us in any way at all this year .We..ve come a long way in a fairly short time , and had so much fun . Love and thanks to all of you .Have a Happy Christmas , and here..s to a rocking New Year ! See you in 2007 .STEVE xxx
PLEASE FORGIVE THE NEXT REVIEW BUT WHEN YOU GET ONE THIS POSITIVE, IT..S JUST GOTTA GO ON.
Just wanted to let you know that I had a great time at the beer festival at the Fox Catworth where you all played. I was the american chick at the picnic table. I hope you all make it big cause you certainly are talented. I have to say that ive never been captivated by a guitarist before (im usually all about the drums) but your lead guitarist Steve was fuckin fabulous!! not only did he play the guitar great but the harmonic and sings like a songbird! Gotta give you your props!!! We were in awe the whole time! everyone in your band was top shelf! Cougie 10
