Arnie Cottrell has cult followings the length and breadth of the country and in odd corners of the world. He has 3 CDs out (the first, “Sorry About That” was played coast to coast in the USA.) and is working on the next two. He has been playing music for most of his life. He started out on the folk scene of the 1970’s where he formed an enduring but interrupted friendship with east end guitarist, singer and songwriter Richard Digance. He went on to play in various rhythm and blues, soul, reggae, psychedelic psycho outfits, Cajun, old timey, ceilidh outfits before realising that his true love was acoustic music as long as the songs are good. That’s where he is now.
He has opened twice for Robert Cray and once for Keb mo. Each gig was towering success. Visit Beach & Barnicott on Fri 9th for a night of rhythm, blues and roots. Admission free. Starts 9.30pm.
