HILTON CMC - 19TH JULY 2107 - MICK DENVER
Report from Texas Ted
Tonight’s artist was the very popular and talented Mick Denver.
Mick has been involved in the music business for more years (decades actually – sorry Mick!) than he cares to remember, and he has been touring the Country Music circuit for about the last fifteen of those years.
His depth of experience and musical versatility showed from the first number to the last. Mick is a very competent lead guitarist, and he gave his lovely Fender Telecaster the expert handling that it deserved. His vocal skills are also very strong.
Mick is a very sound all round musician, and this shows in the excellent quality of his mainly self made backing tracks. He plays all the instruments on those tracks as well as he plays his guitar. His pre-recorded vocal harmonies are also great.
Whilst we were just a little down on numbers tonight, the audience also showed Mick the respect and appreciation that his performance deserved. Several members of the audience commented to our compere, Ivor James, that the atmosphere at this club just goes on getting better each month. For two couples, this was their first experience of live Country Music, and they thoroughly enjoyed it.
The hotel staff were kept busy both at the bar and serving food from the very special Country Music menu which the management offer. The food was well up to its usual high standard.
At the end of the evening, rousing applause for Mick obliged him to play an encore, which was even more loudly applauded.
Next month, on the 16th August, we will have a “stand in” compere as it is Ivor’s turn to take the stage. Come along for another evening of good Country Music for all tastes and bring your friends!
