Musicians and singers:

Alan West and Friends

Alan West, for many years, has been regarded as having one of the finest country

music voices to come out of the UK. His emotional, yet informative way of singing

a story, has moved many an audience all over the world.

Singing songs he believes in, songs full of emotion, images, stories and truths, is

where he’s at home. Expect interpretations of familiar country, Americana & folk

classics and an introduction to not so familiar songs and indeed songwriters, and a

unique, emotional, dynamic and entertaining show.

Today he is joined by Adam Sweet on guitar & Nick Bayes on bass......

"If you are true to the music, the music will be true to you, and Alan West is very

much the embodiment of that for me" - BOB HARRIS OBE, BBC Radio 2

“Alan West is a UK Treasure. His masterful interpretation of both classic and original

Americana songs, together with his easy-going stage demeanour, gives the

impression of a laid back, front porch musical presentation, but with the

professionalism that very few can carry off so effortlessly". Maverick Magazine

Our journey began back in 2011, when the founding Members of The Jurassix were

all singing in local Choirs. Us boys tried singing a few Sea Shanties and realised we

had a real appreciation of shanty music. We tried a few "turn up and sing" events

and discovered that people liked listening to our brand of shanty singing - so

The Jurassix were born! Choosing a name was easy - we all live on the Jurassic

Coast, there was orginally six of us, we are all of a certain age - so that's how

The Jurassix became the name of our Shanty Band.

LA VIE EN ROSE

The heartfelt wail of the blues; the sultry heat of the campfire; the crazy swirl of the

bal musette, all fused together with virtuosity and passion in the melting pot of

1930’s Paris: the result was gypsy jazz.

Now ‘LA VIE EN ROSE’ play this exuberant, toe-tapping music with a swing and joie-

de-vivre as fresh today as when Django Reinhardt and Stephane Grappelli first

conjured it from the back streets of Pigalle.

Rebecca Willson - violin. Nick White - clarinet. David Jones - guitar

Laurie Light - guitar and Yann Mahjoub - bass
