Carol Borrington
LUCY Zirins, a talented singer, songwriter and guitarist, kicks us straight into a busy week tonight at the Trent Navigation.
Tomorrow it's Marcus Bonfanti at the GuitarBar off Sherwood Rise, with a solo acoustic performance. Marcus has a new CD, Calm Before The Storm, due out soon and his present solo tour gives punters a preview of what it will contain.
He belongs to the new, eclectic blues generation and is quite capable of taking you back to the Delta with his deep and gritty vocal.
Marcus is also a very talented guitarist with the ability to play a delicate acoustic finger-picking style, to steamy rapid-fire strumming.
