The boys ( and girl) are back in town.

Very excited to be back in rehearsal next week with Cranberry Flick. We were going to be playing at the Sausage in Cider festival, but have withdrawn our Bratwurst, as they seem to be having a few communication problems. Our next gig will be on Aug 22nd at The Risley Park. We have new numbers to try. Old numbers to tweak..and a browse round Fugue Music in breaks. Musicians rehearsing in a music shop!!! Its like an Aladins cave of musical wonders...the only next best thing would be to rehearse in a pub....oh we are.  Coming soon to the Vernon Arms Spondon. Watch this space..you will be warmly welcomed to watch how we put a show together. You will be warmly welcomed to buy us drinks. You will be hugged if you buy a CD.

Going to the ball.

We are extremely excited as a Band, to be playing at the Risley Park on Aug 22nd. Formally known as the Blue Ball, the venue has been host to many exciting bands and genre of music. For over 20 years it has been the Residency of the renowned Risley Big Band and many top jazz ensemble's. With a licenced bar and superb restaurant, why not make it a special evening and dine before you dance. If successful, we hope to appear regularly on stage at this fine music emporium. Free to get in...free to get out. As Paul McCartney once said of Cranberries Bass player Glenn. Who ?

First Step.

A mighty blogging welcome to Cranberry Flicks new readers. My name is Glenn and I am extremely proud to be the Bass player within the mighty CF band. I am predominantly a trombone player and play both when required ( not at same time. I tried and broke my G string) Cranberry Flick was formed over three years ago by the foresight of  our Tenor player Ken and our vocalist Angie. The band play a cocktail of swing jive and blues and there really is something for everyone. I have only been in the Band just over two years and in that time have played for weddings, beer festivals , charity functions and xmas dances. This new a dynamic band has a much different approach to other bands with its flexibility of genre's of music. Cab Caloway, Amy Winehouse, Glenn Miller, Paloma Faith...Peter Kay!!! (Yes you read that right) to name a few. I hope to keep you informed about the bands journey and welcome you aboard to join us as we hit the highway on our musical adventure. X
