That's Amore launch live music nights

"HOPING to revitalise the music scene in Bexhill and provide an opportunity for for the over 35's to enjoy Rock, Blues, Soul and Funk." So said Mike Clifford, who was speaking prior to the launch of the live music nights at That's Amore - the first of which opened last Friday with rock and pop band Not Guilty.

Attending the launch was town Mayor Patrick Douart along with wife Maureen, who both feel that the opening of the cellar club, which is situated below the Marina's That's Amore restaurant, is a good idea.

Cllr Douart said: "As far as I am aware this is the first time the club has been open in sixteen years . I think it is a good idea to open it up and for Bexhill to have somewhere like this that people can go to, to have a drink, dance and enjoy live music."

He added: "It's underground so there is no noise, the drinks are very reasonably priced and the music tonight has been very good."

The club, which has an extended license and is open until 2pm, is very much a family concern and Carmel Clifford said the first night was well supported and that there are a number of talented groups lined up for future gigs.

She said: "This evening has gone very well, we have had a lot of support from local people who have welcomed the opportunity to see some live music."

In addition to the quality bands that will be featured at the club, there is the opportunity to relax in Amore's caf or visit the restaurant and enjoy a delicious credit-crunching three course meal for just 9.99.

Complimentary membership is available for a limited period and is included in the admission charge.

Future bands lined up include the talents of Phil Hudson & friends who are set to perform their range of classic soul/funk music on March 6th, and Engine, Clutch and Gearbox on April 3rd playing supreme jazz funk.
