Again I’m involved which is always nice…Marty Wilde and The Merseybeats are also on the bill along with skiffler Chas McDevitt. I’m doing a spot on the Floral Pavilion with James and Glen backed by a great local band called “The Shakers” and The Passionettes female backing group who I love….so it should be fun. I’ve never worked with Glen D. but he has backed Jerry Lee and Roy Orbison with James s
