As a guitarist and song writer, Steve Morrison brings something distinct to the b lues. His seemingly effort less guitar style concea ls a remarkab le technique, and his lyrics are delivered in a warm, passionate voice, reminiscent of JJ Cale. Steve's longtime partner and friend, Al Richardson, is a gifted harmonica player. The sound he gets out of the tiny instrument produces an almost limitless range of dynamics. They are a stunning duo.

Jeffrey Daniel - Live in Concert
The Half Moon Putney
Jeffrey Daniel of Shalamar, Street Dance, Choreography and Moonwalk fame will be coming to Putney. Jeffrey first came into the spotlight as a dancer on the US TV show Soul Train. From Soul Train evolved Shalamar - a band that sold 25 million albums world-wide with hit records such as "A Night to Remember", "Friends", "I Can Make You Feel Good", "Take That to The Bank" and "There it is". With Shalamar he introduced West Coast Street Dance into Europe and started a huge dance craze - body popping, robotics, locking and whacking with his amazing skills as a dancer. After 7 years, millions of album sales and tours around the world, Shalamar performed at London's Wembley Arena and the original line-up then went their separate ways.
