out of taking things down a level, simplifying the music a little, and plying their trade as a duo, and imbuing their very own personal and individual approaches to a dynamic, rootsy and exhilarating set of Country Blues. Venues large and small have been hushed and then enraptured by the sense of the old times in the Mississippi Delta.
cowboy music of the southwest, he is best known as a folk and country singer with a personal storytelling approach to his songwriting. His songs have been recorded by a number of other prominent musicians including Johnny Cash, Guy Clark, Dave Alvin, K.D. Lang, Suzy Bogguss, Nanci Griffith & Iris Dement. His new album, 'Blood and Candle Smoke' is a powerful collection of observations that has the music press buzzing.
adding the visual element of a vaudeville style stage show - a band that seems to set the bar in terms of authenticity and pure chops. In their original songs The Wiyos have proven their aptitude in not only in writing old-time sounding tunes, but writing them across various strains of roots music - a blend of all their myriad influences which comes across as decidedly current ... Maryland Independent 
He has spent many years working as a record producer in the acoustic, folk and jazz world, and has the uncanny knack of reaching deep into one's soul. Rick Foot is without doubt one of the most wonderful double bass players this country has ever heard. His artistry and sensitivity on the instrument surpasses any comparison. A few years ago Rick toured the music of Charles Mingus. He also records and plays with Australian singer/songwriter Derrin Nauendorf. Performing together they produce some of the most seductive music.
and will mix tales of banditos from somewhere down Mexico way with subtle observations of the human condition amongst tequila-slugging good-time anthems. “Roger Clyne & The Peacemakers are proof that the crazy, reckless, restless, swaggering soul of American rock is still burning a hole in the night sky ... guitars blaze, quake and quiver, drums slip, thud and thunder with killer melodies and hooks and the occasional reggae or mariachi rhythm laced through the middle to keep it all honest and interesting.” - Tom Jurek, Paste Magazine
In 1996 he released the critically acclaimed CD "The Goodbye Hat" and was nominated for several music awards, including best song for 'Ring around the Roses.' This was followed up in 2004 with the album that really established Reg as one of Britain's finest singer songwriters, "Short Stories". His album "Still" is Reg's most accomplished work so far. 'A collection of extremely beautiful songs, given a fine reading by one of the UK's most talented singer songwriters..' - Maverick Magazine
and roots scene. Megson return to Ropery Hall with their new CD ‘Take yourself a Wife’ recently granted 4* by the Guardian. They specialise in delicate, intimate harmony singing backed by equally understated and classy instrumental work from Debbie's concertina or Stu's mandolin, guitar, bass or fiddle, and their refreshingly contemporary acoustic style is matched by a fascinating set of songs.
He was a founding member of It’s Immaterial who enjoyed chart success with single 'Driving Away From Home' and founding member and main songwriter for The Christians who in the 80’s & 90’s sold 3 million albums on Island Records. The last 10 years have been spent producing and co-writing music for films, TV, and ads. His first solo album "The Chronicles of Modern Life", originally released in Sept '08 on Stiff Records (returning to his old label after more than 30 years), is now re-released on Universal Records.
Chris (concertina) and Denny (guitar and vocals) ensure that no two concerts are ever the same. Chris grew up surrounded by folk music of all kinds - his home was a regular haunt for passing folk singers and musicians. Denny, born in Co. Limerick, is drawn to the inheritance of age-old slides, slow airs, slip jigs and wild reels. Founder members of the band Last Night's Fun which received international acclaim and a loyal fan base over 11 years together, they have now returned to their roots as a duo. 
Mark Stuart dish out in a live performance. Armed with clever acoustic guitar interplay, autobiographical songwriting, lovely harmonies, and humorous storytelling this couple captivates your attention from the first moment they are onstage. Based out of Tennessee, Earle and Stuart draw from blues, pop, country, rock, and more in their heartfelt music. The years of touring the folk/Americana circuit have given them a knack for reaching out to the audience in an intimate “come in to my living room” fashion.
Using his distinctive vocal talents along with his considerable skill as a guitarist he has created an album that takes the listener on a journey that showcases those influences well. Although recorded in Nashville working with some of the finest players in town you won’t find a thing that’s country here. Not a steel guitar or fiddle in sight, just an extremely solid rhythm section with outstanding guitar licks and masterful keyboards combining to produce a sound not heard often today. 'Anyone brought up on early '70s blues based rock is going to love this record...Bag of Emotions carries echoes of Little Feat, Eric Clapton, BB King and early 70s Stones'. Music-News.com
Neil Innes has proved an enduring and inspirational success. His work in TV, film, literature and theatre has taken him around the world, and after 2007's Bonzo Reunion, 2008's Rutles Reunion and 2009's Python reunion he has gained yet more accolades from the likes of Stephen Fry and Eddie Izzard. The 'genius' of Neil Innes cannot be described in simple terms. From music to comedy Neil has been at the forefront of these genres for over 40 years. There's not enough hours in the day to highlight all his personal achievements - he is a legend.
