Dave Saunders and Harry Skinner formed The Producers in 1990.

The new 2009 version of The Producers includes original frontman Harry Skinner and bass player Dave Saunders. New recruits Ray Drury on organ/piano and Biff Smith on Drums and percussion complete the lineup of this new and exciting project.
Already receiving rave reviews, The Producers are regaining the loyal following which made them so popular in their previous forms. New material has been written and incorporated into their set which contains many of the previously recorded tracks.
"Our last appearance at Evershot Village Hall was Nov 11th 2000. How do we know? When Dave Saunders was there recently he spotted a Producers poster from that very event preserved behind the Bar!"

Stallholders Book your space now
The Food Festival will be co-ordinated by the manager of The Acorn Inn, Jack Mackenzie and I will pass on your details to him. There is accommodation both in & outside of the Hall and electricity can be provided to a limited number of applicants. Approximately 16 places are available inside and approx.20/25 outside. Three have already been taken and several in the pipeline, so don't be too 'shy' in coming forward!
Other stall holders are welcome to apply, but I'm afraid all the plant stall places are taken, but we can offer plenty of opportunities for other interests.
The Acorn Inn will be hosting a live band and a hog-roast alongside all-day pub opening, to be followed in the evening by another live band and further hog-roasting.

PRESS RELEASE: BOY LE MONTI
Saturday March 28th 2009 EVERSHOT Village Hall
Doors open 8.00pm BAR £6 on door
Diamond sound rocksteady ska and roots reggae.
Those charming purveyers of old skool Ska and Rocksteady Boy Le Monti are up to their usual brassy/dancey stuff, returning to Evershot village hall on Saturday 28th March.For this gig they are excited to be joined by the legendary Rico Rodriguez MBE on Trombone. Rico is one of the originals of Jamaican music. He was a pupil in the 1940's at the Alpha Boys School, alongside many other future star names of Ska & Reggae. Rico was taught trombone by fellow pupil Don Drummond and was soon playing on early Ska recordings in Kingston. He came to live in England in the early 60's along with Prince Buster and others, bringing the sounds of the Carribean with them.
In the 70s and 80s he was a member of the Specials and The Selector playing seminal horn licks on hits including Message to you Rudi and Ghost Town Awarded the MBE in 2007 for "services to music" with a recording career spaning 50 years, he's still playing with the likes of Jools Holland & Jerry Dammers.
Rico's enthusiastic reaction to Boy le Monti's debut album last year ..."you're playing MY music", has led to him visiting a hidden corner of North Dorset to play with the band. The gig at Evershot promises to be a cracker!
