The 100 Monkeys are a party/covers band with a funky repertoire spanning 6 decades. From Queen to The Manic Street Preachers, Fleetwood Mac to Alanis Morrisette and Marc Cohen to Madonna… there’s something for everyone!They were created in 2014 by local musician, and
Director of Haywards Heath’s Rok Skool, Leon Kaye. The now established line-up of friends work hard to re-create some of our favourite dance floor-fillers, as well as many long-forgotten classics it’s great to hear performed live. “It’s all about melody and groove when it comes to choosing songs to cover”, says Leon. They certainly do pack a mighty harmonic punch!
This session will be presented by Mike and Marie featuring three 45 minute performances by different acoustic duos.
14.00 Purple Shoes Duo
The Purple Shoes are a British female fronted Folk Rock band with a Country and Folk Pop twist. Their music is drenched in beautiful melodies and “harmonious lusciousness” with a thumping back beat and double bass. Often compared to Fleetwood Mac with a Travelling Wilburys vibe, The Purple Shoes are honest and raw and they carry you along with the sheer fun they are having.
15.00 Dark Horse Duo
Dark Horse Duo are Steve Brown (guitar and vocals) and Kate Emmerson (vocals), a Sussex-based acoustic duo playing all the best in pop, rock, folk, jazz and motown favourites from the 40s to present day. Steve and Kate met at a local Open Mic Night and bonded over a mutual music taste; with a few classics, a few surprises and a ton of great foot stomping tunes.
16.00 To be advised
