Please note - we can't give refunds or swop events if you are unable to make the gig, we have musicians to pay who need to earn a living.  Refunds can only be given if the gig is cancelled  (i.e. COVID-19), if it is postponed your tickets will still be valid for the re-scheduled event.

Anton Browne - Vocals, guitar & percussion
Sam Walker - Keyboard
Terry Pack - Bass

We all love Anton, this will be his third appearance at Strange Fruit and he just gets better everytime. 
If you've never experienced Anton before you're in for a treat. His vocals are sublime, as they should be as he's been a vocal coach at the world famous BRITS school since it started. On top of that he's coached the finalists on 'The Voice' TV show.
Always entertaining, he covers jazz and other genres supplemented with the odd story or two.
As usual Anton will be supported by Sam Walker and Terry Pack.
