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 |
