Woodstock Star Performs in Chichester in Farewell Tour
Organised by : Wemsfest
Barry the Fish Melton was (with Country Joe Macdonald) a founder member and a major songwriter with Country Joe and the Fish, and he appears at Chichesters Havana Bar for the last time.
In
the Summer of 1967, Barry was a star of the Monterey Pop Festival, whilst two
years later he was performing at Woodstock, appearing both in the film and on
the triple LP of the historic festival. In the intervening years, he has
continued to be an important part of the contemporary music scene, touring
extensively in large venues in the UK, the USA and mainland Europe.
These days Barry lives in France and the USA,
but has found time to tour in the UK, accompanied
by The Psych Unit,
and top Jerry Garcia tribute band Under
the Stars, who feature 3 members of Jamasutra.
Wemsfest provides an opportunity to see a much
renowned musician who has been an important part of the world music scene since
the late 1960s - at an atmospheric and intimate city centre venue. A fantastic laid-back
evening of Californian hippiedom is in prospect, perfect for an August Summer
evening.
The show is at the Havana Bar, Little London,
Chichester, PO19 1PH on Sunday 9th of August and starts at 8.00pm,
doors open at 7.30.
Tickets are £17.50 and available from
Bookends and Harbour Records in Emsworth, The Westbourne Café, as well as
