The Tulsa Time Band, billed as the only Don Williams tribute band in the UK is making a return to W4.

It will be playing ‘The Don Williams Experience’ at the Catholic Centre on Dukes Avenue starting at 7.45pm with doors open from 7pm on Saturday 4 November.

The group, which features local resident Mark Osmond the husband of Sandra Dickinson, will be raising money for Sarcoma UK the bone and soft tissue cancer charity.

Tickets cost £12 if you buy them online and £15 if you pay on the door.

Don Williams, known as the "Gentle Giant" of country music, was a highly influential singer and songwriter. His smooth, baritone voice and laid-back melodies helped to define the "outlaw country" sound of the 1970s and 1980s.

Williams' musical influences were varied, but he drew heavily from traditional country music, as well as jazz, pop, and folk. He was particularly influenced by Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, Ray Price, and George Jones.

Williams' own music was characterized by its simplicity and honesty. He often wrote about everyday life, love, and loss. His songs were also known for their beautiful melodies and thoughtful lyrics.

He had a profound influence on many other country artists, including Garth Brooks, Brad Paisley, Kenny Chesney, and Alan Jackson. He was also admired by artists from other genres, such as Eric Clapton.

We’ve always done that and won’t be changing, in fact we’d like to do more.

However, the readership that these stories generates is often below that needed to cover the cost of producing them. Our financial resources are limited and the local media environment is intensely competitive so there is a constraint on what we can do.

We are therefore asking our readers to consider offering financial support to these efforts. Any money given will help support community and public interest news and the expansion of our coverage in this area.

If neither of these amounts is suitable for you then contact info@neighbournet.com and we can set up an alternative. All payments are made through a secure web site.

One-off donations are also appreciated. Choose The Amount You Wish To Contribute.

If you do support us in this way we’d be interested to hear what kind of articles you would like to see more of on the site – send your suggestions to the editor.
