Matchbox Mutiny; Ben Borrill & Pat Wardโ€™s New Duo Debut at The Gate

If youโ€™ve caught either brilliant local soloist, Ben Borrill or Pat Ward performing live in the past, youโ€™ll understand what welcomed news it is that the pair have formed a duo called Matchbox Mutiny, and their debut gig is at the Southgate, Devizes, this Saturday 22nd Julyโ€ฆ..

Iโ€™m lucky enough to have been at the beginning of one eveningโ€™s acoustic jam sesh, which happens every Wednesday at the Southgate, where prior to others turning up, Ben and Pat played together for a while, so I know this will be a great match. I offered, at the time, to play the triangle, but Iโ€™m still waiting for that phone call!

The duo will be putting their acoustic spin on various covers, and they have more than a few classics in their arsenal. So best of luck with it guys, Saturday night at the Southgate. Thereโ€™s a double-whammy in this, that Jamie R Hawkins will be filling in for Benโ€™ regular slot at the Moonrakers that evening; spoiled for choice, Devizons!

Show Matchbox Mutiny some Facebook lovinโ€™ HERE, and though I cannot make it unfortunately, if thereโ€™s anyone able to scribe a paragraph or three about it we would welcome your contribution, as Iโ€™m sure youโ€™re in for a great night!
