Wyre Forest soul and R’n’B band Blind Lemon will be rocking out in aid of a local good cause at their annual Christmas party on Friday December 10 at Stourport’s Civic Centre. Blind Lemon, who recently celebrated 17 years together, have chosen to support Kidderminster Carolians Rugby Football Club in their efforts to raise funds for coaching equipment for their youth teams.
“It’s going to be a fantastic night and we’ve been working hard on some new material to play at this special event,” said vocalist Mark Pearsall.
In previous years, the band have helped a wide variety of local charities including Kemp Hospice, Rhydd Covert and Kidscan.
Tickets cost £12 and are available either from the band’s website at www.blindlemon.co.uk or call 01384 274970 (office hours only). Doors open at 7.30pm.
We're continually improving our equipment in Blind Lemon to ensure we give the best possible show. 2008 saw us invest around £3k in a new state-of-the-art lighting rig and last year we struck out and upgraded our PA system.
The motivating factor for the new more powerful system was not just about volume, but the quality of the sound. The RCF 4 Pro system boasts up to 6KW of power and will comfortably deal with venues up to about 500 people and is great in marquees which are notoriously power hungry. Another important feature for us is that it is modular and can be scaled up or importantly down for smaller venues.
We have now had the opportunity to use the system at a variety of functions and venues big and small. We're pleased to say it has exeeded our expectations.
Of course the equipment would be useless without our crew: Si Hastie - lighting engineer and Matt Jeanes - sound engineer.
Blind Lemon are pleased to announce the launch of their very own social network. You will be able to create your own profile, upload your own pix or video, and even chat with each other and the band. All you have to do is sign up to this free service. Please follow this link to sign up.
