THURSDAY 30th OCTOBER 2025

HEADLINE SHOWCASE

ONE AFTER 909

and

The Stortford Young Players

Hello Acoustic Clubbers

Last time we were delighted to welcomed not only the irrepressible One After 909 but also the Stortford Young Players.

 

 

ONE AFTER 909

Colin and James Frid are a father and son duo who combine the very best of 1960’s and 70’s land mark songs with ventures into highly listenable modern songs. Two guitars and two voices revel in both their differences and their similarities.

 

Colin and James are stylists who bring their world to life. They blend together like the legendary family groups of the past and will fully reawaken your love for those classics they love as well as their new music that is unique.

 

THE STORTFORD YOUNG PLAYERS

This evening was special because we had some great music from the young players from around Bishops Stortford. Our players included many from the much-admired Saffron Walden based Garden Youth Music Project but also other young players looking for opportunity to play and an audience willing to listen to them.

We were delighted to welcome these young talented performers this evening and listened in awe at their talent.

Our players were

Just about as far reaching an evening as we have seen for quite a while. Many have played before and most played at the Acoustic Bash in the Summer where they all impressed enormously so the great music was delightfully expected from the youngsters.

 

At this point I have to apologies to James as Colin and I conspired to get him to play his party piece -1952 Vincent Black Lightning - as a brilliant encore to the One After 909 set. Just a fantastic way to finish a brilliant evening of music. Sorry James but it was worth it!!

 

Grateful thanks to Alex for his sterling work on the Sound Desk and much appreciation to all the staff and volunteers who go to make the SMA such a wonderful welcoming venue.
