Legendary guitarist set for Cheese and Grain

ONE of the legendary guitarists of our time, Duane Eddy, will be performing at the Cheese and Grain on Thursday 24th of May at 8.00pm. A Grammy award-winning American guitarist he was inducted into the Rock’n’Roll of Fame in 1994. Duane learned his craft in assorted clubs and honky tonks when he was a teenager, developing the ‘twangy’ sound he’s since become known for. Eddy’s second single, ‘Rebel Rouser’, was a US Top 10 smash in late ’58. Featuring doo wop outfit The Rivingtons on backing vocals and “rebel yelps” and championed by legendary television impresario Dick Clark, it preceded a further 32 charting singles and over 25 albums that would see the man sell in excess of 100 million records. Tickets are £21 including booking fee and are available online at www.cheeseandgrain.co.uk/2012/01/duane-eddy/ or by calling the Cheese and Grain box office on; 01373 455 420.
