New Horizons 'The Miners Band Live @ The 100 Club'

On Saturday, 20th June, watch a top band here at The 100 Club with a decent priced ticket.

UK acoustic rock'n'roll group The Miners Band make their debut in the capital of England as London hosts the band for the first time with what should be a great and historic gig for The 100 Club and The Miners Band themselves. They have a catchy set of ballads and faster tempo songs and for sure have to be destined to do well.

There is a slight 1960's presence to the band with a tint of The Beatles and a guitar playing Rodger Daltery with similarities to Bob Dylan without the harmonica. Mixed in with this you can hear the acoustic style of Oasis and a Keane type of band with an acoustic guitarist frontman bringing a complete originality that is The Miners Band.

The acoustic guitarist and singer/songwriter of The Miners Band Lee James Cluskey recently spoke about the gig when interviewed in saying.

'At last its great to be down here playing in London, The 100 Club has a lot of history about it with all the musicians and bands that have played here over the years. I'm as honest as they come, and I know there is decent musical journey to continue on when you think about all the musicians and bands that have played here over the years, to ever be compared to some of them.
He continues, pondering for a few seconds.

'It would great to play five nights a week here at The 100 Club or alternate venues in London to really kick it off for The Miners Band and start selling out in London, but I know we couldn't do that, because we would end up with too many people trying to get in!

Laughing for a few seconds he continues; this guy should be a stand up comedian at some point!

'If not I'm sure every tom, dick and harry would start turning up and closing the venues down for the night, like the U2 video 'Where The Streets Have No Name.'

Finally he summarises the past decade as the creative and where he is at as musician and with The Miners Band.

'I've had to raise the bar, during the past ten years of how I am as a creative mind, I have written and I am writing as an author, screenwriter and gone on to become a doctor of creative writing. I've got to this multi-creative mindset in a natural way. I keep on making it happen just taking part in my life and seeing what I can achieve on various frontiers not only musically. I had the situation where I was looking for this commitment from other band members over the years here and there, but now I've got to the point where there is squad of musicians for The Miners Band. Looking back I think there was only one moment where I could of but myself on the bass guitar, but that's no big deal. If I can compare myself to a football manager it's now a case of picking the side, who's going to go out and represent this acoustic rock'n'roll band.

The most celebrated live music venue in Europe and one of the most famous in the world. Our longevity is due to an open minded music policy which has seen many different musical styles performed at this venue over It's long history.

Live music began at 100 Oxford Street on 24th October 1942. It was first played at Mack's restaurant (as it was then known) when British jazz drummer Victor Feldman's father hired the venue on a regular Sunday night to showcase the talents of his jazz loving sons and their band. The band consisted of Victor and his two brothers Robert on clarinet and Monty on accordion. They were joined by legendary British saxophonist Jimmy Skidmore for the opening night.
