Viva Lewes Issue #156 September 2019

GIG GUIDE // SEPTEMBER
GIG OF THE MONTH:
JOHN CRAMPTON
Blues and bluegrass powerhouse, John Crampton is a Lewes
favourite, with good reason. His ability to create an orchestra
of sound as a solo artist is phenomenal, and his mastery of his
instruments extraordinary (expect to hear slide guitar, banjo
and harmonica). Crampton’s raw energy and joy in the music
is infectious; a night watching this ‘one-man blues explosion’
(The Spitz) is guaranteed to have you on your feet and
stomping those blues. Lansdown, Saturday 28, 8pm, free
