New Roots and Americana night in York

Not sure if anyone else here is from York or nearby but I thought I'd mention a new monthly night I'm involved in running at the Winning Post in York (with occasional nights at other venues)

The regular night is the first Tuesday of every month and we'll be featuring a range of artists from the UK, USA, Canada & Australia - primarily focusing on performances of original songs.

There are more details here and on our Facebook Page & Group page. The next gig is Port Cities at the Basement, City Screen on 31st March

Relevance to this platform is difficult to see.

Er - informing people about live folk, roots and acoustic music. I would have thought that was highly relevant.

And here I was all ready to make a note on my itinerary for York, England. Best of luck with your sessions.

Sorry Joe - I saw Canada on the Green Chilli web page and assumed!!!

Funny enough - I used to have to visit the old Terry's Chocolate factory for work, and that was very near Gree Chillis......

No problem Tim - I thought that may have been the reason!

We moved from Bradford (where I had put a fair few gigs on over the years) to York over a year ago and when a local musician (Dan Webster) wanted help in promoting things I couldn't resist....

We live just up the road from the Chocolate Factory (now very expensive flats) and the Winning Post and it will be nice to walk to gigs I am involved in rather than having to drive :-)

That would be Bradford, Ontario, right?

Or is it Bradford Australia?

Nope - it was the original and best Bradford in Yorkshire, England. Home of the oldest continuously running folk club in the world, the Topic. Spent 34 happy years in the city but retired to York for the thriving music scene and pubs. :-)
