Clay George’s rich voice evokes the famous Johnny Cash baritone while Joe Wrigley goes for some country twang, Hank Williams style! If Hank was the undisputed King of Country music - penning more than one-hundred standards that are performed around the world every day - Johnny Cash was the ‘Man in Black’ - the iconic rebel whose dark outlaw songs and unusual vocal style pitted him against the Nashville country music establishment. Clay and Joe delve into the rich Cash and Hank repertoire for an evening of all-time country greats.
Perhaps the best thing to have ever come out of England is... it's pop music! Musical Brits Joe Wrigley and Steve Sutcliffe play a special acoustic program of classic English songs - backed up by percussionist Antti Siitonen - on the eve of St. George's Day: the national day of England.
From War-time singalongs all the way through Beatles, Stones and Klinks 60's classiscs... to the 80's 'new-wave' of The Jam and Elvis Costello, the 90's Britpop of Oasis, Radiohead and the Verve and up to the present day with Ed Sheeran. The St George's Trio have put together a special all English repertoire for this unique performance at Alchemy.

Miss Sarawan Acoustic Duo : Mealea Lay and Joe Wrigley perform Cambodian ‘Golden Era’ classics and original songs. Exciting things are happening for Miss Sarawan at the moment.
She was recently featured in this segment for TV5:
Showing off her singing skills at an acoustic duo in Phnom Penh, while explaining her background living in a Phnom Penh temple and revealing that her nickname in her home province used to be ‘buffalo girl’! The interviewer seemed more interested in discussing the meaning of her original song ‘Alcoholic Husband’ – and the TV5 segment was edited in such a way as to infer that Joe Wrigley is the subject of this song ! !
‘Alcoholic Husband’ is one of several original songs being recorded by Miss Sarawan for her debut album. Much more news about that coming soon.
Miss Sarawan is very proud to have been invited to perform, with her full band, at next week’s ‘Queens Birthday Party’ event at the Intercontinental in Phnom Penh. Every year, the Embassy of the United Kingdom holds a gala reception to welcome Cambodian ministers, dignitaries and business leaders. The prestigious by-invitation-only cocktail reception will take place in the grand ballroom of the Intercon, where honoured guests will be entertained by The Miss Sarawan twins, with Joe Wrigley and a full backing band.
Here is an amateur video clip of The Sarawan Twins performing with Phil Javelle at a recent Cambodian Film Festival gig:
