| MARCHINGTON MUSIC CLUB (SUNDAYS FROM 5.30PM)
|
| | MANOS PUESTAS TRIO SUNDAY 13TH JAN 5.30PM
Manos Puestas Trio are a UK based group playing Gypsy Jazz, Be-bop, Latin and Rumba.
Comprising 2 guitars and double bass, the Trio has many years experience between them, and all members have played throughout Europe, including appearances at Montreux Jazz, WOMAD, Sidmouth and Glastonbury Festivals
Re-interpreting jazz standards in a different style, Jon Lewis and Matt Sullivan play guitar with a Flamenco technique – that’s right, not a plectrum to be seen! This brings a unique feel to the tunes, particularly those of Django Reinhardt, Charlie Parker and Thelonious Monk.
In 2014, Matt Watson of Oxford based Cuban big-band Ran Kan Kan joined them on double bass, enhancing the Latin feel and leaving lots of room for improvisation and up-beat danceable rhythms.
THE HILSONS; SUNDAY 20TH JAN 5.30PM
We are a trio from Long Eaton and Ilkeston, established in 2016. We like to bring a sing along atmosphere to wherever we go performing country covers including sixties and seventies country classics to our country/bluegrass take on modern songs.
GROOVE PLC; SUNDAY 27 JAN 5.30PM
Groove PLC is a brand new band that formed in mid 2018 from three remaining members of The Soul Funk Junkies (Zoe - vocals, Chris - guitar and Ken - drums). They auditioned for a new bass player mid 2018 and Rob was recruited. They immediately began rehearsing old and new material to form a live set, still focusing on funk and soul but looking to add new material from artists such as Chaka Khan, Level 42, The Chimes and Paul Young.
Phil joined the band in late 2018 to joined Zoe on vocals. Together they bring a new vocal dynamic to the band and open it up to a broader range of material. As a collective the band have over 100 years of live playing and performance experience.
The band is very much looking forward to playing the Dog and Partridge, an old stomping ground for some of the members and an opportunity to test run this new band. The intention is to expand the repertoire and instruments within the band throughout 2019 as well as increase their live set and performances. Technology has been used to expand the sound to bring a more authentic experience for the audience on some of the songs.....what does that mean??? You need to be there to experience it!

Making Shit Happen by Carl Pate
This is a self help book based around personal productivity.
It’s not about the Big Bangs and Magic Bullets. The secret sauce that you need to spread over everything that you do, and which will give you more rewards than you could ever dream possible, is CONSISTENCY. In this book you will learn how this powerful, and yet under-utilised, “secret” will transform everything that you do.
Carl Pate spent 27 years of his career in senior financial roles in large organisations, including 16 years as CFO in a £150m clothing manufacturer. But it was his love of personal development and desire to make the very most out of every minute of his life that drove him into a second career, and the creation of Productivity Powerhouse, where he now helps small business owners and entrepreneurs all around the world to master how they spend their time.
Carl has consolidated almost 30 years of learning and practical implementation of these skills into the structure that he calls the 5 Pillars of Awesome. The first 3 pillars will build the foundational structure from which everything else emanates. The fourth pillar offers practical tips, tricks and strategies for maximising every bit of your time, whilst the fifth pillar provides the techniques for building it all into your life so that you never have to attend another Time Management course again.
In this book you will learn all about The 5 Pillars of Awesome:-
Habit – Learn how to create good habits and get rid of bad habits
Alignment – Look inside yourself and start to take control of your life
Balance – Not just work-life balance – “Whole Life Balance”
Integration – Learn how to really Make Shit Happen
Tracking – Find out how to condition all of this into your life for the long term
Escape from….. Boudica’s Army by Andrea Pate
This is an historical children’s novel set in Roman Britain during the Boudican rebellion, targeted at 8 to 12 year olds, although it is good for anyone due to the historical accuracy of the book.
Ty’s family have just moved from the great city of Rome to the new capital of Roman Britain, Camulodunum. After struggling to make friends with the boys at his new school, a violent encounter with local boy Addie turns to close friendship. However, a visit to the local Trinovantes village threatens to end their time together. In the meantime, the great Iceni queen Boudica is fed up with the Romans in her homeland. She's building an army and getting ready to fight back.
As the friendship between the two boys and their families grow, so does the unrest between the locals and their Roman invaders. Can Addie save Ty from the threat of Boudica's army, or will they be overcome by the fiery haired queen and her bloodthirsty horde?
