Dear LiveTown residents,
Our Emerging Artists “Event” is now on Facebook.
We would love you to “become a fan” of our LiveTown Club Page on Facebook.
Does anyone else remember when “friending” wasn’t a verb, it was “befriending”? It wasn’t all that long ago!
Full details soon to follow of the September 19th event in town.
Keep warm,
Meg
… and a good time was had by all! July 13, 2009

Dear LiveTown fans,
A reminder: it’s this coming Saturday, July the 11th! 7.30 til 10.30 at Littlehampton Peace Memorial Hall, 75 Main Road. Littlehampton. Home-cooked supper included. BYO licensed. Family and friends welcome. Guess what? We even have raffles and door prizes!!
Here’s a cool photo of Lasseter’s Gold Bush Band (newly together, but individually experienced – see our “Artists” page):
And here is the same picture of Andrew Clermont that we used last time! It’s a beautiful photo, but I reckon we’ll try to get a shot of him “live” at LiveTown on Saturday.
If anyone has performed at LiveTown and is also reading this, you might want to be in our Artists page! Send or give us a nice photo of yourself and some info, and we’ll be totally glad to include you. (This site is visible to search engines). And you can be in the Artists album on the FaceBook page.
Other breaking news is that we are now on FaceBook so if you go on FaceBook come and “Fan” us, we’ll be gloriously glad to have you along there. This is our new badge:
Live Town Club | Promote your Page too
Look forward to seeing you on Saturday,
Tangrine Meg.

Thanks for tuning back in LiveTowners!
We have the second half of the show re-capped today. We are featuring comments from a happy new audience member. Thanks, Chloe! 
. Plus we tip the hat to our quality sound team and our perfect local venue, with catering!
Run Rabbit Run (advertised as Geronimo Drop-outs) were amazing… with their easy listening acoustic and vocals sound.
It was great to see so many young musicians performing aswell as old favourites and their variations in music rhythms and styles.
The always gorgeous Kate West, with guests son Misha and friend Dee from Fiddlechicks, had the audience mesmerised, with sweet and lively harmonies.
I will gladly come to the next Livetown and I hope to see more dancing everyone!
There were a couple of songs by Stephen Stone and Sonya Mellor which involved beautiful dancing by those few that were late-stayers! I believe this is the kind of thing you meant Chloe:
Those of you who have attended will attest that we have exceptional sound at our gigs. We are lucky to have the wonderful Williams Valve Amps and RKG speakers as well as Mr Williams himself, Kyffin (08 8388 4671) and Roly Galea (08 8326 0469). They will be happy to hear from you if you need sound help. Plug. Plug. I mean it, plug, get it?!
The Littlehampton Peace Memorial Hall has been home to community activities for about 100 years. We are lucky to have the wonderful Hall group providing a lovely supper spread to complement the musical buffet.
Part of our intention at the May concert was to help celebrate the 150th birthday of Littlehampton, many other events can be seen at their web page.
Hear ye! Hear ye!
The calendar for the rest of the year is almost complete. Here is what we know so far:
July 11. Bush Dance featuring Andrew Clermont and Lassiters Gold (Kyffan’s band) @ Littlehampton Peace Memorial Hall.
September 12. Youth Focus night @ Littlehampton Peace Memorial Hall.
September 19. Mark it as LiveTown in your diaries. Details to be confirmed, including different venue.
Christmas Show. Date to be confirmed.
Take care Live ones!
Meg and team

Hello grand Friends of LiveTown!
Today I have written some words and uploaded photos that I took at the night, and also included some writings from one of our Friends of LiveTown, to give you a different voice. Those excerpts are indented as for a quote, like this:
As a first-timer to Livetown, I found the whole night brilliant! The atmosphere in the hall where it was held was friendly and relaxed, perfect for a Saturday night.
Outside, the weather remained wet and rainy through-out the night but inside the heaters were working, keeping us toasty and casting a warm orange glow over the audience and the performers, adding to the atmosphere.
First up we were welcomed by Rosemary (our fearless leader), Frank (he’s almost synonymous with the Littlehampton Peace Institute Hall – more about them both next time) and a Native American flute welcome from Ros. Here is a shot of Ros later in the evening:
Our gorgeous Native American flute player in repose
I enjoyed listening to all the performers but I especially loved Djilia, the gypsy style all girl band for their lively joyous music and their heavy bass lines that got everyone’s feet tapping.
Djilia led by Sonya Mellor
The English Tourists are Stephen Stone and Derrick Allen. Experienced and sure, they travelled and took us with them, via a beautiful cornucopia of tunes.
The English Tourists, Derrick Allen and Stephen Stone
And Littlehampton locals Disco Bongo. They comprise drummer John “Jonny Bongo” Will and David “Disco Dave” Varacalli. You can get Disco Bongo music on the net, as well as at LiveTown!
watch those hands drumming!
absorbed in the music
Stay tuned for our next wonderful installment, which will arrive once I have searched through the photos. More from our satisfied first time audience member too!
See you really soon, with the second half of this. And stay well tuned, as I will be able to let you know what is coming up for the rest of the year.
May LiveTown tonight! May 9, 2009
