A
gig
held at The Jam Jar
on Thursday 6th April. The event starts at 19:30.
We're back!
This time its Bruce Springsteen's 1975 album "Born to Run", played in its entirety by long-standing Bristol-based performer, Kieran R. Leonard in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.
A full band will be taking on this epic portrait of romantic hyperrealism to new heights with members from some of Bristol finest musical talent, including Doug Cave (Hippo, Cousin Kula), Jake Blackmore (MC Binbags), Dorian Childs-Prophet (Zoobers), Hugh Serjeant (Pocket Sun) and Beau Hulse (Parlour).
Some Background:
4 years ago Kieran lost his mum to cancer. The diagnosis came very late into the disease and there was sadly nothing anyone could do. Macmillan Cancer Support were very kind in looking after his family during such a difficult time and is doing something to give back.
Kieran's mum was an avid Bruce Springsteen fan and she would always be playing him every Saturday morning whilst cleaning the house. She'd also go to see him live every time he in the country. So Kieran thought it would be a good idea to put on a tribute night performing as “The Boss” in aid of the charity that did so much for him and his family during his mum’s short and tragic battle with cancer.
This will be the second time they have done the event, the last one marking Kieran's mum’s 3rd anniversary, and this one is assured to be even bigger, bolder and brighter than ever!
