Friday 5th November 2010 - Cara Luft & Scott Poley

Cara Luft & Scott Poley

Canadian CARA is a dynamic performer with deep roots in both folk and rock 'n roll. An ace guitarist and vibrant, captivating singer, her shows flow with engaging, witty stories and powerful original and traditional songs. A founder member in 2002 of The Wailin' Jennys (here in '06), she was with them for three years, bagging a Juno Award for the album '40 Days'. Her last CD 'The Light Fantastic' is contemporary, evocative and highly-accessible - Carole King and Karine Polwart meet unplugged Led Zep - taking in Folk, Rock, Country and Spiritual along the way. Tonight Cara brings her new accompanist SCOTT, a multi-talented instrumentalist (guitar, lap steel, mandolin) who can sing beautifully too! A welcome return.

Friday 12th November 2010 - Jack McNeill & Charlie Heys

Jack McNeill & Charlie Heys

JACK and CHARLIE met while studying at the Birmingham Conservatoire and started playing together as a duo in 2007. During this time they were mentored by none other than Joe Broughton! Both have now completed their degrees and are on the road delighting audiences at festivals and clubs up and down the country. 'BBC Young Folk Award' finalists in 2008, their new album, 'The Northern Road', is out now, taking in a multitude of influences. 'Playing of the very highest standard, delivered with commitment and passion - gloriously upbeat and beautifully atmospheric', says 'Rock 'n' Reel' mag.

Friday 19th November 2010 - Allan Taylor

Allan Taylor

ALLAN is the consummate performer, a writer of literary gracefulness who chronicles the realism of otherwise unsung heroes and uncharted lives. His songs are written from a lifetime of travelling; always the observer passing through, each song is a vignette of life. Like a story told over a drink in a bar, the characters come to life like people you know and places become as familiar as if you had been there. His songs have been recorded by more than a hundred other performers of various nationalities (there are more than sixty cover versions of his song 'It's Good to See You', in ten different languages), and every concert by him is an experience to remember. His new and 20th album 'Leaving at Dawn' is quintessential AT, instantly recognisable with a warm, inviting sound and a return to the more folk-inflected style that characterised his earlier years.

Friday 26th November 2010 - Tattie Jam

Tattie Jam

TATTIE JAM are SEYLAN BAXTER (vocals, 5-string electric cello, percussion) and RUARIDH PRINGLE (vocals, guitar, banjo, didgeridoo, mandolin, percussion). Seylan is a graduate of Glasgow's Royal Scottish Academy of Music and Drama, where she studied Scots cello and song and now teaches. One of Scotland's best-known and most accomplished traditional cellists, she collaborates with several of the country's foremost artists.
Ruaridh is an accomplished singer and multi-instrumentalist with a highly distinctive style, as well as a prolific and prize-winning writer of both songs and traditional-style tunes. Tattie Jam offer a distinctive brew of songs, from dark ballads and protest songs to off-the wall humour, and tunes ranging from slow airs to kinetic jigs and reels. Much of their material has a playful or funky contemporary twist, with contrast provided by the odd starker unaccompanied song or tune. A refreshingly new sound from these Ram debutants.
