GEOFF ACHISON & THE SOUL DIGGERS ‘Comeback Special’ (two sets) with special guests
Fri 7 November 2008
After almost two years living and working in the USA, respected Melbourne musician Geoff Achison is returning home. Geoff’s stature as an original artist has increased during this time as evidenced in part by his meeting and jamming with such high profile artists as vocalist Delbert McClinton and guitarist/inventor Les Paul and also being listed in Guitar Player magazine’s ‘Top Ten Hot New Guitarists’. Completing a relentless touring schedule that has covered authentic blues joints in the south to New York jazz clubs, Geoff is now looking forward to reuniting with his infamous A-Team Souldiggers band featuring Mal Logan, Roger McLachlan and Gerry Pantazis.
$20+bf
Tickets on sale at the East Brunswick Club box office, 280 Lygon St, PH: 9388 9794 or via the website www.eastbrunswickclub.com
