Guitarist Jerome Pillai will be playing Latin-American music
on the Mondays At Six programme at St Clements in Musgrave on Monday night
(March 7).
Graham Linscott (The Idler of The Mercury newspaper) wrote
about Jerome’s previous appearance when
he teamed up with a number of St Clements regulars, including the sultry
songbird Shomona.
“Spontaneity was the theme at the St Clements soiree this
week as Jerome Pillai – guitar, piano, drums and vocal – teamed up with a range
of people who had never rehearsed with him before to produce some astonishingly
good stuff, ranging from folk to jazz and rhythm and blues. Jerome's Starry Starry Night – a tribute to Van
Gogh – is always a winner but renderings of Summertime
and On A Clear Day with
"surprise guest" Shomona, a professional singer, were right up there
too. Also readings by Jean-Marie Spitaels from his book of poetry, Crescent Waves, punctuated by bursts on
the harmonica. As the old song goes: When we were kids on the corner of the
street, We were rough and ready guys - But Oh! How we could harmonise …”
