pete christie
with special guests bemis

The Cellars

56 Cromwell Road
Southsea
Hampshire
PO4 9PN

 ** Tickets £6 Adv.

It is hard to recall how many South of England gigs and Festivals have featured Bemis and Pete Christie or Pete Christie and Bemis; enough times for Pete to be known as the ‘unofficial 5th member of Bemis’ and to appear on their recent albums.

It’s an easy relationship with a shared love of great music and beautiful harmonies, and totally natural stage chemistry.

The Cellars is home turf for Bemis in Southsea – (one of the best venues on the circuit, with a superb sound and a listening and appreciative audience), and Pete has appeared not only as a “guest” with them, but also with Derrin Nauendorf and most recently, Rory Ellis.

The Cellars has been an oasis for musicians over the years, and some great collaborations have been formed backstage, as this performance will no doubt prove!

this is a Bemisian, a semi-Bemisian and a Pyrate singing an irish ballad in a beautiful theatre, having never played together before…..on an amazing night in November. Ahhhhh…..memories Pete Christie David Gallows Richard Leo of Bemis, sing ‘Black Velvet Band’

An evening at New Theatre Royal in Southsea with some of the best Folk Festival acts in the UK.

Also featured on this amazing bill was Paul from regular festival headliners The Men They Couldn’t Hang.  Hobo Jones and The Junkyard Dogs, whose tongue-in-cheek comedy, Rock’n’Roll Skiffle and Skunk Rock are sure fire hits with any audience.
