Matchbox Mutiny; Ben Borrill & Pat Ward’s New Duo Debut at The Gate

If you’ve caught either brilliant local soloist, Ben Borrill or Pat Ward performing live in the past, you’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 July…..

I’m lucky enough to have been at the beginning of one evening’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 I’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. There’s a double-whammy in this, that Jamie R Hawkins will be filling in for Ben’ regular slot at the Moonrakers that evening; spoiled for choice, Devizons!

Show Matchbox Mutiny some Facebook lovin’ HERE, and though I cannot make it unfortunately, if there’s anyone able to scribe a paragraph or three about it we would welcome your contribution, as I’m sure you’re in for a great night!
