The Grand Union fundraiser for York House Centre

Event information

In 2023 Andy Gilbert, well known for his slide guitar playing, formed an exciting new 7-piece band, The Grand Union, a union of different nationalities, races and languages.
With 5 singers in the band, including French guitarist, Anita Esteve-Spencer, they were able to focus on bringing harmony to the worlds of country and rock’n’roll with a country flavour, whilst also performing to multi-cultural audiences in French, Arabic, Hebrew, and, of course, English.
There will also be a guest appearance of Nigerian superstar, Ayo Ogundimo, whose stage presence is so electric he could light up Milton Keynes!
Following Andy’s appearance on BBC1’s Sunday Morning Live last July, he has led the band from strength to strength, playing concerts, pubs, and Stony’s own folk club, The Song Loft. They also got the audience dancing at award-winning One World Club, which Andy revived last year after a 6-year break (in 2012 The Commission for Racial Equality awarded One World Club an award for diversity in the community).
But this gig will be all in English, bringing their rockin’ harmonies together with songs like When will I be loved
