The Beez (Germany)
The Beez last visited us two years ago and played to a large and appreciative audience.
They have developed a fine reputation as a visually and
musically entertaining band. They are all exceptional musicians, offering cabaret
style irreverant interpretations of classic songs.
The Beez have furnished their house with musical bric-a-brac from around
the world, a potpourri of moving, silly, deep and sometimes meaningless
pop and rock songs. These songs are, however, anything but common or garden
variety. The four tonal interior decorators from the Beez rearrange and craft
a song until a certain stylistically unmistakable Beez Feng Shui emerges.The
Beez are at home on any stage and travel light-four voices, two acoustic guitars,
an acoustic bass and an accordion and, it has to be said, more than a few costumes.
The Beez are renowned as excellent hosts, serving lavish lashings of humour and
musicality guaranteed to charm every audience. Their programme 'In the House'
is (with or without electricity) like a luxury penthouse on the roof of pop and
rock history in which everyone finds a sunny room with a view.
Some sound bites from the Beez "Look What They've Done To My Song" CD:

A huge double header - April Verch (Canada) and Nathan Rogers (Canada)
April is another fantastic return performer; her website.
And, Nathan Roger's is new to us but comes highly recommended. Whilst Nathan is very much his own man, if we are
lucky, he may even perform a couple of
his dad's songs - his dad being the legendary Stan Rogers.
