PRESS RELEASE
Distributed
19th January 1999
After over two years of commitment 'The Candle Club' is finally paying
dividends. No it is not some sort of religious gathering but a chance
for local amateur talent to see if they can entertain a crowd, on stage,
in a proper live venue. It has got to the point now where there is not
enough time to accommodate all the acts, with up to 15 appearing on
a Monday night. Local talent isn't a strictly accurate description as,
because of the huge student population in Southampton, people from as
far afield as France, Spain, Italy, Brazil, Russia and the Isle of Wight
have taken the stage. The exciting thing about 'The Candle Club' isnÕt
the variety of acts and the lively atmosphere but the amount of original
material performed, be it in the form of songs, poetry or stand-up comedy.
Because of this wealth of talent the founders of the club Simeon Hill
and Clive Roberts along with the help of Management of The Talking Heads,
Southampton have decided it is time to create further opportunities
for the people performing. To this end one act from each Monday will
be put forward to take part in a monthly 'Showcase'. This will take
place on the first Sunday of the month and acts will be given more time
to perform. Every six months a big Saturday night 'Showcase' will be
staged with six acts chosen from the Sunday 'Showcases' and this will
be recorded and a CD produced. Throughout the year 12 original pieces
of material will be sought which will be recorded professionally and
a second CD produced which will be sold and also forwarded to publishers.
Because The Candle Club is a non profit making venture sponsors are
being sought. Any donations, however small would be appreciated by all
taking part. If you want to see what The Candle Club is all about get
down to The Talking Heads at Portswood in Southampton, but before 8.30
if you want to take part or get a seat!
