Hank Wangford – Perfect Day

This is the opening song on UK Country/Americana legend Hank Wangford’s latest album Holey Holey.

It’s an album of wonderful songs with a laid back feel and lyrics ruminating on the ups and downs of life.

Released last year, it is Hank’s 10th album and shows that he can still come up with quality so it’s well worth a listen.

We look forward to seeing him live at Wokingham Music Club (WMC) on Friday, October 22, where he will be appearing with his new compadre, Brad Breath – www.hankwangford.co.uk

Ronnie Laine & Slim Chance – The Preacher

Here’s a classic song from the past and it’s included in the playlist this week as Slim Chance will be playing live at WMC on Friday, October 15.

The band has been doing a great job continuing the legacy of the great Ronnie Laine, who is sadly no longer with us.

They evolved around three original members of Ronnie’s band as well as some excellent new regulars so this promises to be a great night of good songs and musicianship – www.slim-chance.co.uk
