Congakeyz set to rock the Fleet Carnival

This year’s Fleet

Carnival is set to offer an irresistible blend of performance, colour

and noise- and a Fleet-based band’s music will be at the very heart

of the weekend.

Congakeyz will be bringing

the noise to this year’s shindig, performing a full-throttle

collection of crowd-pleasing covers to wrap things up on Saturday

night.

Fleet-People caught up

with frontman Winston Eade to gage his response to the forthcoming

gig.

“When they

initially approached us to play, we were really pleased,” he said.

“We always enjoy

playing anyway, and with the numbers of people at the carnival, it’s

a great way to share what we do with everyone. They’ll be a big

stage and a monster sound rig, so the quality should be fantastic.”

Congakeyz is made up

of Winston on vocals, piano and keyboard, Dave Jull on guitars, Gary

Brown on bass and Chris Jull on drums and congas, all of whom are

also session musicians.

The band has been playing

a mixture of corporate events, functions and pub gigs for two years,

and has established solid reputation in the South East.

As a Fleet resident, is

Winston a regular at the carnival?

“I’ve been before, but

this is the first time we’ve played it!

“The main thing about

the Congakeyz live show is that it’s really lively, very energetic

and entertaining. We play the songs people want to hear,” he

continues.

The band’s set on

Saturday night is certainly likely to impress, with covers ranging

across the pop and rock spectrum, touching on everything from Journey

to Prince.

Punters at the carnival

can also expect a taste of Congakeyz’ secret weapon, as the band

mix songs together live on stage to spectacular effect.

“We’re really looking

forward to the evening and hope people will be up for dancing and

singing along,” concludes Winston.

Congakeyz will

perform at the Views after the main procession.
