I can't find a thread for this and it deserves a mention. To expand my cryptic notes Cari Sayer's band Octopus Tree (5 people of whom 3 sing sometimes, 2 guitars, 2 fiddles, and one upright bass) have the headline spot at the Good Intent John Street Rochester Kent UK ME1 1YL on Tuesday the 13th November 2011. There will be light sound reinforcement mostly to help the voices since fiddles are so loud but also for sound shaping to compensate for people and furnishings soaking up the brightness.

Their stuff is mostly diddly-ish (gosh, there's a surprise with 2 fiddles), some Americana, but some European-mainland based and some Scottish/English too - but they are really quite good and deserve an ear.

The beer is always good at the GI and reasonably priced.

I don't know who has the support slot offhand.
