Beach Crows are the songwriting duo Tom Anderson and Al Nicholas. Their forthcoming album Water of Life is an eclectic mix of folk influenced rock and blues with a heady dose of seventies mellow. The core of their music is an imaginative blend of acoustic guitars, using alternative tunings and unusual rhythms. Al's intricate John Martyn style washes lay the ground for Tom's virtuoso guitar and the whole sound is underpinned by Nick Townsend's (Lost Boys) solid basslines and the outstanding drum work of Damon Sawyer (100/70 Split -Ten Years After, Marmalade).

With a hit soundtrack to the 70s and appearances by the ladies from Avon, Ann Summers and The Tupperware, this is “First Wives Club” meets “Still Game” with a sobering hint of Margaret Thatcher.An Arts Enigma Production.Suitable for age 14+ Buy Tickets..
