Did it say...FREE showcase???

Yep :-)

Why? It's a bit strange...trying to find out more about this...

OK...checked it out...it's a night club for/with celebrities...no wonder it's free...and with no tickets good luck getting in or even seeing anybody older than 25...

Plus they don't show anything yet on their page...

Another familiar name pops up in this article about that show!

I now understand why it's a free event...this apparently is a club with exclusive clientele - this is promotion...

Apparently even Meat was singing in that club recently...which I didn't hear anything about...exclusive is as exclusive does...

Isnt the word showcase, as mentioned in the article posted by Deb, telling it is promotion?

Correct me if I am wrong though!!

Looks like Rob Evan is also in this....

Evan, Lanning, Zolli, de Haas and More Set for Free The Twelve Concert

Producer Neil Berg will present a free showcase of The Twelve Jan. 13, 2008, at the China Club in Manhattan.

"I have been developing this rock/theater concept for several years, and am finally ready to debut it," Berg writes on his official website.

The evening at the New York City club will feature the talents of Dreamgirls' Lawrence Clayton, Tarzan's Rob Evan, Civil War's Michael Lanning, Jesus Christ Superstar's Danny Zolli, Rent's Aisha de Haas and rock singer Patti Russo. The singers will be backed by Alex Skolnick (guitar), Neil Berg (piano), Roger Cohen (drums), Dave Baron (bass) and Greg Lukins (guitar).

Frank Fagnano is the sound engineer for the 90-minute concert. Doors will open at 6:30 PM for the 7:15 performance.

This is the info I received after inquiring about more details:

Since this is on MY SIDE of the pond [for once], I'm seriously considering making the drive to see Patti. Anyone else seriously thinking about going?

January 13th...Andy are you stuck for my Birthday present?! :)) :lol:

I am looking into it but it doesn't look promising to get in.

Nope, got yours sorted.

What we doing for my 40th though? :p

OK, if anyone out there would like to buy a joint Birthday present for Andy and myself that's more than ok! :p

I can give you free room and board...with smelly dogs...otherwise...

Oh yeah...and I can throw in transportation too...maybe...

Including flights?

LOL I was about to say! That's Manchester to NY sorted, cheers Zina!

Oh you're SO funny...that's NJ to NYC sorted...duh...

:raspberry:

Unless you're talking about Manchester, New England...
