Housley is an award-winning singer and songwriter hailing from Yorkshire a young female artist and recent mother of two who has already made her mark with three independent albums and two BBC radio playlist hit singles.

An Evening of Iona Music and More... Award winning multi-instrumentalist Dave Bainbridge joins forces with Lord of the Dance vocalist and fellow multi-instrumentalist Sally Minnear to bring a spellbinding evening of music that will, in equal measure, have you jigging in (or out of!) your seat or bring a tear to your eye. A compelling mix of powerful and ethereal vocal songs (including the occasional emotive Gaelic ballad), instrumental tracks - jigs/reels/slow airs/evolving soundscapes and virtuoso improvisation on keyboards, electric guitar, bouzouki and cowbell! All held together with Dave's humerous banter. The idea was simple. To put together an entertaining mix of vocal and instrumental music, drawing upon Dave's extensive back catalogue from his band IONA, his solo albums and the traditional Celtic material that both Dave and Sally love, also leaving room for plenty of spontaneous improvisation - phew! Tied together with humorous introductions, with an impressive array of instruments on stage, the aim was to be able to play in any size of venue, from house concert to concert hall to festival stage, retaining the same, intimate, relaxed atmosphere with the audience. The duo have performed to enthusiastic audiences extensively around the UK since 2015. In 2019 they also toured in Germany. 2020 was set to be their busiest year yet, with festival appearances and a 15 date UK summer tour, all sadly put on hold due to the pandemic. However the duo are now back on the road, once again playing venues around the UK and October 2023 saw their first USA appearance at the prestigious ProgStock festival in New Jersey, to an incredibly receptive audience. Their debut DVD release 'Live in the Studio' initially released in August 2018 has been re-released as a DVD/CD combo in November 2020 and is available from www.musicglue.com/iona

Mix of seating and standing. disabled access and toilet. Attila the Stockbroker launches Heart on my Sleeve, his new Collected Works Exploding into public consciousness in the early 1980s via two John Peel sessions and a Melody Maker front cover, poet, musician, journalist and political activist, Attila The Stockbroker, has spent forty years touring the world performing his unique brand of spoken word, poetry and music. Having played almost four thousand gigs in twenty four countries, releasing countless books and records along the way, Attila's Collected Works has just been published by Cherry Red Books, the book arm of the celebrated independent record label which released his early 80s albums and his 2015 autobiography Arguments Yard. 'Heart On My Sleeve' brings together Attila's collected poems and lyrics, celebrating the fortieth anniversary of his first appearance and a lifetime doing what he loves. All his early political punk poetry classics are here, the likes of 'A Bang And A Wimpy', 'Russians In The DHSS' and 'Contributory Negligence', alongside more recent favourites such as 'Asylum-Seeking Daleks', 'Poison Pensioner' and 'The Bible According to Rupert Murdoch'. This collection is testimony to Attila's broadening work over the years, packed full of intensely personal pieces alongside political satire and humour. 'Never Too Late', explores his reconciliation with his stepfather after thirty-seven years (as featured on Radio 3's 'The Verb' and Steve Lamacq's 6Music show), whilst listeners to Radio 4's'Poetry Please' may recall 'The Long Goodbye', the epic, fourteen minute poem to Attila's mother as she battled Alzheimer's Disease, which was twice broadcast on the show. Recent poems written during the first lockdown are included too. Featuring over a hundred and eighty works hand-picked by Attila himself, Heart On My Sleeve is a must-read compendium of social commentary, human observation and humour, all of it written with a passion and enthusiasm which only seems to grow as Attila passes through the years. 336 pages, illustrated by long-time collaborators Phill 'Porky the Poet' Jupitus, Womble, Dan Woods and Nick Staples. A legend of the international spoken word circuit, a long established Glastonbury regular, much loved at Brighton And Hove Albion Football Club, co organiser of Glastonwick popular beer and music festival, Attila The Stockbroker remains as focussed and active as ever, and continues to perform to audiences across the world, including a run of successful recent online lockdown shows. His message remains a simple one: you don't need to be 'a celebrity' to lead a life earning your living doing what you love to do. You just need a way with words, the self-confidence and organisational ability of Napoleon and skin thicker than the armour of a Chieftain tank. Heart On My Sleeve will be available at the gig along with Attila's earlier works. If you want a copy before then you can get one direct from Attila at attilathestockbroker.bandcamp.com or in any self-respecting bookshop.

This magnetic bond still holds after more than 50 years of attempted escapes. Still loved for their total in-yer-face originality, the contrast between the deadpan humour of Barrett and mad onstage antics of Otway are hilarious to watch. John's lyrical genius and Willy's outstanding musicianship (he seems to play almost every stringed instrument known to man, plus a few hybrids of his own making!). Willy's interest in making instruments began when he commandeered two guitars made by his dad in 1965. One from an old guitar neck and a scaffold plank which became affectionately known as the Les Dawson, and the other branded the Mk1 Schitstik electric slide of similar pedigree. These instruments were used on many of the early tracks, including Really Free and Racing Cars. Willy's remark this will be the last time that many of you will see us together again was often hastily misinterpreted as the final throw of the dice, but the reason given: it's not us packing up, it's you lot dying off, you know who you are! is often overlooked by eager scribes. And so the rumours abound. Last year, John celebrated his 5,000th gig to a packed house at London's Shepherd's Bush Empire. And if that's not enough, we are now talking about DOCTOR JOHN an Honorary PhD in Music by Oxford Brookes University. Im really thrilled to be awarded this totally unexpected honour, especially as I failed all my A levels as I decided to concentrate on preparing for my burgeoning career as a rock star. To get this from Oxford Brookes 50 years later shows I did the right thing. For any Otway/Barrett virgins out there who dont know what to expect, be prepared for everything from bare-chested theremin playing to wah wah wheelie bin as the duo jump from one hit and 40 near misses to another: An amazing and irreverent performance by two master entertainers

Expect new music, banter and Brtipop belters from the phenomenal frontman of The Bluetones.

he days of the Supergroup may be long past but The Guilty Men would surely qualify for that description! The band is made up of five of the finest musicians from the Northwest of England. Between them, they have played over 10,000 gigs on planet Earth, recorded thousands of songs and made countless radio and TV appearances. To say theyre experienced would be an understatement! The story starts in 1979, in Manchester, England. Clive Gregson and Neil Cossar met through a mutual friend, John Martin, the bassist in The Cheaters Neil was the band's guitarist. Clive was the leader of Any Trouble. The Cheaters had a PA, Any Trouble owned a van. It made sense to pool resources, often with both bands on the same bill happy days! Any Trouble signed to Stiff Records, The Cheaters signed to EMI. Both bands released several albums and played thousands of shows. Both bands ran their course Clive then went on to a successful partnership with singer Christine Collister, released over 20 solo albums, and spent 15 years in Nashville working as a session musician and producer. Neil became a radio DJ, formed a Music PR company and launched the online brand This Day in Music, before becoming a music book publisher. Cut to 2021 lifelong friends Clive and Neil are catching up over lunch and thought it might be fun to try and write some songs together Several weeks and quite a few songs later, they decided to expand the enterprise from a songwriting workshop to a full blown band. Clive recruited keyboardist Jez Smith and bassist Craig Fletcher from John Lees Barclay James Harvest and the lineup was completed with the addition of legendary drummer, Paul Burgess, who has played with 10cc since 1973. They named the band The Guilty Men and headed into the recording studio. Cut to 2024 and The Guilty Men's debut album Invisible Confetti is ready to roll. 13 brand new songs recorded in the old-fashioned way: everybody playing live in the studio, intent on catching the moment. Most of the songs were laid down in no more than 2 or 3 takes and with four featured lead vocalists, the album covers a lot of musical bases. Invisible Confetti rocks with nods to Americana, country, folk, pop, psychedelia it's an exhilarating ride from start to finish. All aboard!

ANT-TROUBLE are South Wales premier tribute band to the music of "Adam Ant" and "Adam And The Ants". Performing all of the big hits, awesome album tracks and exciting b-sides from the complete back catalogue of Ant Music.

Absolutely superb stunning musicians. If you get a chance to see them, take it. Very highly recommended. Bruce MacGregor, BBC Radio Scotland For 22 years, The Hot Seats, have gained and burnished the reputation as the carriers of an important and overlooked tradition of American and international folk music social commentator, satirist, and entertainer. The Skillet Lickers, The Hoosier Hot Shots, Woodie Guthrie, Gus Cannon, Uncle Dave Macon, Frank Zappa these are pools in which The Hot Seats swim. Formed in 2002 by a group of like-minded friends for a weekly bar gig, the band's live shows quickly became well known for on stage antics, one-act plays, and Dada-esque humor, underpinned by a foundation in hard-driving bluegrass, old time, ragtime, jug blues, and early country music. Between 2005-2018, The Hot Seats toured extensively in the US and UK, performing in nearly the full spectrum of venue size and situation: living room to dive bar; square dance to theater). Some of their festival highlights include: Tønder Festival, The Richmond Folk Festival, Red Wing Roots, Celtic Connections, The Shetland Folk Festival, The Orkney Folk Festival, South By Southwest, Floyd Fest, Bristol Rhythm and Roots Festival, The Watermelon Park Festival, The Northeast Kingdom Music Festival, Didmarton Bluegrass Festival, Maverick Festival, HebCeltFest, Speyfest, Leicester Summer Sundae and multiple occasions Edinburgh Festival Fringe (including winning a Herald Angel Award in 2006). Since 2020, the band's original core of Ben Belcher (banjo, bass, fiddle), Josh Bearman (mandolin, banjo, guitar) and Jake Sellers (percussion bass) have been joined by Rudy Bee (fiddle, tuba, accordion, piano), JM Nobile (mandolin, guitar), and Charles Arthur (banjo, fiddle, resophonic guitar). If you dont have a good time when the Hot Seats play, check your pulse. You might be dead. Chris Bopst (Richmond Times Dispatch)

In 2019, the time capsule buried in 1979 by Stumpy Sanderson and his mischievous gang of working-class boys was unearthed. Within this capsule were not only Stumpy's short stories about the gang's japes, scrapes and capers they had got up to and into during the 1970s, but also an old Memorex cassette containing 33 of his bizarre songs that he had bashed out on acoustic guitar. Then, in 2023 a second time capsule was discovered containing further stories and 22 more songs. Join Norfolk storyteller and singer/songwriter, Andrew Brammer, in a musical offshoot of his highly successful humorous storytelling shows. Listen to the extraordinary songs of Stumpy Sanderson, and the astonishing anecdotes and memories behind them; material described by some as a surreal cross between The Stranglers, Lou Reed, and Leonard Cohen.
