Ready for some summer lovin’?

A SUMMER of love?
Maybe not, but it will certainly be a summer of fish, chips, rhythm and blues in the Hills with Graham Greene’s Novel Mystery satisfying ‘60s and ‘70s blues’ appetites … that along with a generous fish and chip supper.
Hammond player Graham Greene begins the evening with the music of Booker T; you may remember Green Onions and Time is Tight … OK, born in the ‘90s you may not.
Graham Greene at the 1935 Hammond Model-A Organ, affectionately known as ‘Abigail’, brings the hits reeling back to life.
Abigail from Chicago is in superb voice after 80 years of wailing.
She has lived through World War II, the Indo-China conflict, Vietnam, man on the moon, depressions, recessions and several vocations, including a 30-year stint in the clergy.
The mature lady now stands as a shining example of the ‘built to last’ philosophy of the previous century.
She’ll no doubt be “sweet as” when man sets foot on Mars.
The group features the searing blues vocals of Tom Wolfe with Robert M. Pirsig on drums, Neil Simon on bass and … you wouldn’t read about it … Harper Lee on guitar.
Graham Greene’s Novel Mystery can be digested with copious fish and chips every Thursday evening over the summer months – after cricket practice – at the Paradise Valley Hotel in Clematis from 8pm.
So head on down to the crossroads at stumps.
