Bakehouse Strummers Bring Joy to the Phab Club


The Phab Club had a great time last night at Christchurch, Abingdon, thanks to the Bakehouse Strummers. The band play easy to sing along songs that sound good strummed on the ukulele – mostly from the early 1960s.

The Bakehouse Strummers got their name from “The Old Bakehouse” in Abingdon where one of their leaders lives and where they first met to play. They are usually busy over the Christmas period and will play at the Mayor’s Christmas Party for people over 75.

At the end, the audience called for an encore, which the band wasn’t used to. So they played again the song they started with – something good by Hermon’s Hermits

P.S. Hermon’s Hermits are on their 60th anniversary tour in 2024. From their early beginnings in Manchester in 1964, the band have chalked up 23 hit singles.
