Advance notice of a city centre return for a four-piece Black Parrot Seaside next week. On Tuesday-the 15th of April we will be doing a guest slot at The Shakespeare, Spon Street, Coventry. It's half term so no excuses about marking, workload, late nights etc. Let's see some of the Earlsdon Cognescenti in da house to hear some old (and new!) songs.
We'll be performing between 9.30 and 10pm so get yourself down there if you're local. Only one of the songs we intend to perform is on the last CD. Having finalised the set list we can promise you covers of songs by Beyoncé, Bryan and Michael, Nick Jones, Fleetwood Mac and The Rolling Stones. All with the inimitable arrangement which is a hallmark of our work. Plus a few of our own tunes including (hopefully) the anthemic "What a Folking Liberty!"
If by any chance you should miss this, there is another opportunity the following week to witness a longer set, when we are the guests at Bedworth Folk Club's Rugby Club venue on 23rd April. That's St. George's Day and Shakespeare's birthday. So an easy one to remember. By popular request, this set will feature heavy emphasis on comedy and audience participation.
We might do a couple of serious ones, too, but a mock raffle and audience whistling are definitely scheduled. Though only in the context of the appropriate songs. Expect up to 50 minutes of the usual genteel mayhem and licensed heckling, with a minimum of FIVE Parrots, and probably additional guest musicians also likely to feature in some numbers.
