(Barry Thomson)
Forming part
of Rhumbelow Theatre’s Sunday Soiree Season, guitar maestro Barry Thomson takes
to the stage on September 18 in an un-plugged salute to artists who have had a
direct influence on his life musically and personally.
Thomson
says: “It’s a gentle, intimate show. I have chosen songs that are instantly
recognizable hits and some that are not but they all have musical or lyrical
worth. The audience, hopefully, gets a chance to know a little more about me
other than seeing me as an all-out rock guitarist. It’s not a show really. It’s
about me and a bunch of people sharing an afternoon/evening of good music
together. And that’s the word. Together.”
His musical
menu includes many of the songs from his CD. It features the gentler side of
artists like Eric Clapton, Mark Knopfler, Neil Young, The Eagles, Neil Diamond
and Jethro Tull. There is also a tribute to the Sugar Man Rodriguez. The show
also features some of Thomson’s original songs including Take It in My Stride and Walk
a Mile.
