| Girlyman | |
| Girlyman formed in 2001 in Brooklyn, deciding to have fun rather than take themselves seriously – hence the name. Others, however, took the group quite seriously. The first few years brought critical delight, awards, and long opening runs with the Indigo Girls and Dar Williams. Girlyman quickly became a strong headliner in their own right, and now play all over North America intensely loyal "girlyfans" who often travel hundreds of miles to see shows. Doris Muramatsu and Tylan Greenstein became best friends in second grade. The two met Nate Borofsky in college and since then they've been creating their own unique language of three-part harmony. Informed by 60's vocal groups like Simon & Garfunkel and The Mamas and the Papas, and infused with years of classical and jazz training, Girlyman's songs are a dance of melody and suspensions - an irresistible blend of acoustic, Americana, and rock. |

| British Sea Power +Fat Rascals | |

Guitarist Martin Noble arrived all the way from West Yorkshire. BSP released their first record in 2001 – the Fear Of Drowning single on their own Golden Chariot label. But it was the band’s live performances that defined their first years. There were riotous shows in remarkable surroundings. BSP would go on to play by the sea on the Scilly Isles, underground in a Cornish slate mine and at the Chelsea Flower Show... and now the Trades Club, Hebden Bridge. The band is here on a short break from a major tour supporting the Manic Street Preachers. A great chance to see a big name band in a small venue. |

Irvine occupies a unique place in the musical world, plying his trade as archetypal troubadour, with a solo show and travelling lifestyle that reflects his lifelong influence, Woody Guthrie. Few others can equal his repertoire, Irish traditional songs, dexterous Balkan dance tunes, and a compelling canon of his own material that defies description. |  Photo by Cindy Funk |
