PRESS RELEASE

Beachy Head Music Club are on the move after the Brighton Festival. When I interviewed Dug and Simon yesterday they looked like two Cheshire cats caught in the spotlights. "We don't know whats happening! In two days we have had two references that describe our music as sounding like Chet Baker, and an offer to perform from venues around the 'Village' NYC. At present we have two agents helping us to sell the sizzle in the States for a summer jaunt of gigs and revelry"
Now, the Chet Baker references have stunned them, they believe they sounded quintessentially English pulling ideas from The Canterbury Scene through the sixties and seventies, however it feels like the American following hear the music differently, just that in itself is interesting.
Mostly their British contingent hear Ian Dury, Beatles, Robert Wyatt, Kinks etc, Duggy sings in his home Thames Estuary accent which is far from Transatlantic, the music is definitely full of lucious melodies, beats, lyrical genius, diversity and dare I say it comedy albeit sometimes black humour.

“IF YOU MISSED THE COOL SOUNDS OF A STAN GETZ OR CHET BAKER IN REAL TIME, DON'T BLAME IT ON THE BOSSA NOVA! YOU CAN STILL CHILL UNDER SOME SAME SUN SOUNDS FROM BEACHY HEAD MUSIC CLUB”
