About this event
Friday night with Wayne Wayneson & The Whisky Kissers, a powerhouse band of seasoned musicians (who are all women and non-binary people in moustaches), embodying the swagger, ego, and grit of classic male country stars. Through electrifying performances, they channel the world of whiskey-soaked honky-tonks, heartbreak anthems, and absurd, over-the-top machismo. Support comes from The Sonic Joy Orchestra, an explosive blend of clowning and musical joy. A comedy, clown, drag king character, Wayne Wayneson is multi-platinum, Grammy-winning country-rock icon. Once the untouchable symbol of musical masculinity, Wayne became a relic of excess, stumbling through life fuelled by cheap whiskey and outdated bravado. But he’s got a plan: a comeback. Tonight’s band includes: Wayne Wayneson: Coral Bevan MD + Keys and Harmonica: Steph Singer Guitarist: Fran Barrett Bassist: Nina Brostrøm Laumann Drummer: Holly Sayer Pedal Steel: Holly Carter Violin and Banjo: Evie Hilyer-Ziegler Concept and Character: Coral Bevan Directors: David Alwyn. Co-Written: Coral Bevan, David Alwyn & Ricky Hunt Photography: Rah Petherbridge Support comes from The Sonic Joy Orchestra, bringing an explosive blend of clowning and musical joy. The duo, comprised of Dan Lees and Tom Curzon, were winners of the Malcolm Hardee Award for Comic Originality (2022).
