Live Music at The Lord Combermere

On the eve of The LIFEJAM event for St David's RNLI Boathouse Appeal event hosted by Reuben Palin, Hoc 19 events and The Lord Combermere, we are delighted to announce that Mike Chant will be playing live at The Lord C for your entertainment on Friday 17th October!

With a 9.00pm start and free entry as ever, this coming Friday will give you all a taste of the talent to come on the following day and all for a fantastic cause.

Pembrokeshire born singer songwriter Mike Chant has forged a reputation for himself as a passionate multi instrumentalist and powerful singer and lives by a small, simple but very important bit of advice given to him by the legendary Finbar Furey... "Always from the heart..."

Mike has a huge diversity of influences from the Beatles to Led Zeppelin, Erik Satie to Sinatra, AC/DC to Pink Floyd, John Renbourne to the Levellers.

Genre has always been a tough one to pin down as Mike has generally been regarded as Acoustic/folk/blues/rock/world (see what I mean)... Lyrics are a very important part of the song and even a soppy love song is not a frivolous affair... always with passion... always heart felt.

Didgeridoo is one of the things Mike is best remembered for at his live gigs and is regarded by some critics as a "Master of the art" Mike is totally self taught on all his instruments – Guitar, Mando-cello, Didgeridoo, Bodhran, Mandolin, woodwind, piano (at a push) – and as such a very instinctive and intuitive player. He has however recently started learning the Cello... properly... with music and everything! Loving it too.

Always searching, exploring new ideas, keeping an open mind and an open ear has been his approach. Touched by so much music throughout his life Mike's passion is to reach out and touch others with his music and give back a little of what music has given him it is the core of why music is his life.

Mike will also be performing on the following day at LIFEJAM in aid of St David's RNLI Boathouse Appeal....live at The Lord Combermere from Midday to Midnight. Catch Mike on the Saturday evening at approximately 8:00pm.

Mike is also a volunteer and part of the lifesaving team working at St David's Pembrokeshire .....all round superstar!
