Elliott Randall with Pro Band concert

On Friday 26 February Clifton College is hosting a concert by the celebrated session guitarist, Elliott Randall. A native New Yorker and now resident in London, Elliott is a veteran of the music scene having played on legendary recordings by Steely Dan, The Blues Brothers and countless others.

He brings a wealth of experience and musical finesse to Clifton, firstly in a guitar clinic in the new Music School at 2pm and then at an evening Concert at 7.30pm in The Pre Hall.

At both events he will be backed by a top band comprised of the best local players:

Clive Deamer: drums (Portishead/Robert Plant/Jeff Beck)
Jerry Crozier-Cole: guitar (Pee Wee Ellis/Ronan Keating/Ruby Turner)
Jeff Spencer: bass and vocals (Geoffrey Oryema/John Etheridge/Pee Wee Ellis)
Ruth Hammond: keyboards, sax and vocals (Morcheeba)
Charlotte Ridley: vocals (Empire of Lights)

Elliott’s live show revisits many of the most famous songs of Steely Dan, as well as some fine originals and well loved blues/rock classics. His magnetic stage presence and natural exuberance are guaranteed to entertain.

One of the few guitarists to have sustained a busy session career with formidable touring credits, as well as film soundtrack work, this event provides an opportunity to see a world-class player doing what he does best.

With support from the excellent Clifton College Soul Band playing Motown classics, this will be an evening to remember. Highly recommended.
