After a long sabbatical from my acoustic street material I am finally performing as a guitarist singer/songwriter again with an actual gig thanks to Mat at the Servo!
For over 7 years I travelled in the region from between Turkey to Ireland with this music as my bread and butter. You may have had the opportunity to see me playing at the Farmers or Artisan markets here in Margs, well now you can sit and also have a damn fine beer!
This is a pretty special place, new to Cowaramup - featuring an incredible local and international beer selection. There will be a food van there on the day - good times all round!
I apologize for any confusion caused by all the projects I am maintaining. There is an In.Dance gig coming up on the 29th https://dtr.cool/id29 as well featuring Balkan inspired beats playing a range of instruments with an epic loop setup. Some people know me from the storytelling performance of Open the Door last year at the Witch and Windmill in Witchy - and others know me from playing that very interesting three string instrument from Turkey the Kemence in random public moments. I am also working in theatre with Sari Bennet and Amy Hastie - developing the amazing show based on Sari's life story - Finding Voice - which will be performed by us for the first time as a new production company - Calibrate - at Nannup Music Festival this year in early March!
I once considered having a different name for every little box of me but have refrained from giving a dog's noodle. I have changed my performing name many times in my travels and have finally settled on this geriatric misnomer. Monty itself came from a joke about a porn-star name which features the name of your first pet and your mother's maiden name which seemed a 'good enough' transition to avoid being deported from the UK way back in 2014.
There's a quite a bit more to my story - if you read all of that, three cheers to you! In brief, if you want some down to earth, honest and freedom inspired tunes with some very interesting twists on classic covers come down to this singer/songwriter set at the Taphouse - support local business and enjoy the naturally vibrant atmosphere of Cowtown!
