At The Country Café, Ingatestone, Essex, CM4 0AU (Inside Patrick Green Building)
At The Country Café, we are an authentic Southern style Listening Room. This means there is one simple rule : You allow our musicians to set the tone of the room. If it’s upbeat and high tempo, join in! If its intimate and personal then please respect the musician and listen, keeping chatter and noise levels to a minimum. Our musicians are not background noise.
Marcus Bonfanti is an award-winning singer, guitarist and songwriter from London. He has been a member of legendary British rock and roll band ‘Ten Years Aſter’ for a decade releasing 3 albums with them. He also fronts The Ronnie Scott’s Blues Explosion monthly residency now into its 15th year at the prestigious London venue. Twice winner of the British Blues Award for Best Acoustic Performer and Best Songwriter as well as countless nominations in other categories, Marcus has released 3 critically acclaimed solo albums and toured the world with his own band and other artists.
He has worked with Eric Clapton, Van Morrison, Tom Jones, PP Arnold, Robben Ford, Ginger Baker, Ronnie Wood, Paul Carri!, Phil Manzanera, David Gilmore, Fisherman’s Friends, Izo Fitzroy, Johnny Hates Jazz, Jason Donovan, The Selecter, Daniel Beddingfield, The Wanted, Rebecca Ferguson, Adam Lambert, Cliff Richard, Bernie Marsden, Eric Burdon, Sarah Jane Morris, Findlay Brown, Kristina Train, Roachford. For the last five years Marcus has been heavily involved with The Spitz Music Charity, an organisation that creates opportunities for musicians to go into Care Homes, Hospitals and Children’s Hospitals to perform for and write songs with the residents and patients.
More recently he has also become involved with The Prison Choir Project helping to run choirs in some of the prisons across the UK as part of rehabilitation courses. Known for his deep powerful vocal style and ability to combine many different guitar styles to create his own unique sound, Bonfanti’s live shows are full of a raw energy that many people thought had left live music a long time ago.
