This may be of interest to a few people here, apologies if not:

Tae Sup wi' a Fifer' returns to the Adam Smith Theatre in Kirkcaldy for Spring 2016
Tae Sup wi' a Fifer is a club that began life in 2015, when James Yorkston was invited to curate some nights for the Adam Smith Theatre in Kirkcaldy. Pretty soon the evening developed a reputation for its quality, diverse line-ups and laid-back, welcoming nature. There was Steve Mason, Dick Gaughan, Karine Polwart, Richard Dawson, Lisa O'Neill, Aidan O'Rourke, Bill Wells – some well-known, some less so, but all worth watching, all worth the admission price.

And we're delighted now to announce that this Spring there'll be further three shows:

March 5th: Martin Carthy, Alexis Taylor (Hot Chip) (solo), Geoff Hattersley
April 9th: Linton Kwesi Johnson (solo), Kathryn Joseph, Randolph's Leap (solo)
May 7th: Malcolm Middleton, Viking Moses, Yorkston Thorne Khan


March 5th 2016
Martin Carthy: Legendary and extremely influential English folk-song singer and guitar player. `Arguably the greatest English folk song performer, writer, collector and editor of them all' Q Magazine
Alexis Taylor: Best known as front man of electro-pop outfit Hot Chip, performing here in his solo guise. "It's a fine collection of intimate, slow-burning, understated songs meshed together by Taylor's unmistakable voice. In short: beautiful." Clash Magazine. Alexis comes up to Scotland to sit down at the piano and play some new songs of his own as well as the occasional gospel, torch and local ballad song he has learned on his travels.
Geoff Hattersley: Geoff edited the independent literary magazine the Wide Skirt between 1986 and 1998, publishing more than 300 writers. 'A powerful and uncompromising poet' — Ian McMillan. 'A poet whose work I scour the bookshops for… He's like a flat-cap wearing, ale drinking Yorkshire Bukowski' – James Yorkston
