Jeni & Billy
Jeni & Billy perform original and traditional songs that draw from Appalachian, old-time country, bluegrass and folk music. They will draw you into captivating narratives of hard living and unexpected grace. Their set at last year’s Beverley Folk Festival was reviewed as “a sweet and surprising high point …. singing songs from the southwest Virginia coal mines, the pair melted hearts”, and we are really pleased to book on their next visit to the UK.

Rodney Branigan
Rodney Branigan has redefined the role and limits of the guitar. There is simply no way to adequately describe this performance with mere words. He can play two guitars at once better than most can play one! Strumming the body of a twelve-string, while picking the neck of a six-string, Rodney creates music by himself that sounds like it is coming from a trio. “One of the most amazing artists you will ever see. Not simply because he's unique, but rather because he's impossibly talented” – Music Connections Magazine.

 

Why does the pick always drop down the sound hole when you're half way through the solo and then you have to spend 25 minutes fiddling it out with a Biro

Lau
Formed out of the progressive traditional music scene in Edinburgh, Lau have consistently discovered new musical boundaries with their unique take on ‘folk’. The multi- award winning Scots / English trio have issued three highly acclaimed albums, in as many years (“Lightweights & Gentlemen” 2007, “Live” 2008, “Arc Light” 2009) which have seen the band taken their legendary live concert show to all corners of the globe. Lau are Kris Drever (guitar, vocal), Martin Green (accordion) and Aidan O’Rourke (fiddle). Radio 2 Folk Awards – Best Group in 2008 and 2009.

HX7 Jazz Club at the Trades with the
Sam Crockatt Quartet
A great group with Crockatt on tenor sax, Kit Downes on piano, Oli Hayhurst on bass and Ben Reynolds on drums, with very strong support from Oli and Ben for the soloists and an excellent mix of material. Sam Crockatt’s playing is gentler than many, though it still has intensity and energy. Downes is one of the best young pianists in the country, his dazzling solos complementing Crockatt's sophisticated rhythmic flights. Their album “Howeird” won the 2009 Parliamentary Jazz Award for best album.
