Tom Adams: Still Score @ Lincoln Drill hall Tuesday 21 October

Tom Adams: Still Score taking place in The Room Upstairs @ Lincoln Drill hall

Tuesday 21 Oct 2014 7.30 pm

In February 2013, Songwriter and theatre maker Tom Adams bought a slide projector and 500 slides from eBay. The slides were of people he did not know but he could not help asking, what is their story? 

Tom performs a live soundtrack of music, comedy and stories to these images in a gentle exploration of mortality. He also searches through images of his own life, placing them side by side with the strangers, wondering if his memories will, one day, be just a slide sold on eBay.

“Funny, touching & ultimately life affirming. You leave with a tear in your eye, but a skip in your step”

Tickets: Tickets: Free but audience members will be asked to pay what they felt it was worth as they leave

Acoustic Nights at the Turnor Arms Wragby

Acoustic Nights are recommencing at The Turnors in Wragby on Tuesday 28th October 2014. The organisers are expecting a bumper turnout

The evening will be dedicated to the memory of Richard Langridge  who was the original founder of our Wragby Acoustic gathering. The night will run in much the same way as it always has. Some friendly banter, a few good laughs, a few drinks and some good music with some good friends.

The Wragby Acoustic Nights have been running for many years now and they hope to keep them going for many more to come. The organisers look forward to seeing you on this SPECIAL SPECIAL NIGHT and hope that you will continue to join them in the future and enable us to always keep the last Tuesday of the month, in Wragby, special.

Since their sold out concert in February Pete and Rhiannon have been very busy.  Their THL concert was quickly followed by another sell out concert at The Greystones, Sheffield.  They have played numerous festivals and supported top acts at large venues across the country. In March they went into the Studio to record their second album 'We're Getting There Aren't We'.   The CD was produced by Alan Smyth, who has previously recorded the Artic Monkeys.  The album was crowd funded and launched at The Memorial Hall, Sheffield in July.  It is a gem. On October 24th they will again bring their band, comprising of Tom Howe (guitar), Pete Howe (violin) and Robin Baker (double bass).  They will play songs from the new album and old favourites from 'Stories From A Suitcase'. At the February headliner Rita Payne took things to another level, watch them go up another notch this time. Supporting will be Luke Jackson, a 19 year old songwriter from Canterbury.  Although his roots are in folk music, Luke's guitar technique and dynamic voice suggest an emerging rock star. For more on Rita Payne and Luke visit our web site at: http://www.townhalllive.co.uk/ Advance tickets are priced at £11 otherwise £12.50 on the door. Tickets can be obtained from the One Stop store in the town, from Brian on 01652 649230 or from www.wegottickets.com Don't miss it!   Coming soon to Town Hall Live ... CARRIE RODRIGUEZ   Friday 7th November Carrie Rodriguez, from Austin Texas, is a wonderfully creative artist.  She is a fiddle player extraordinaire and is blessed with one of the most compelling voices on the roots rock scene. She will be accompanied by Luke Jacobs, whose subtle guitar provides the perfect foil for Carrie's driving violin and emotive singing. Support will come from Otley teenagers, The Velveteens who have been gaining quite a reputation locally. Advance Tickets are priced at £11 and can be obtained from the usual outlets.     Bring Your Friends for a Great Night Out and Save on Tickets!   We would like as many people as possible to come and enjoy the concerts we put on. Why not ask your friends?   Any person buying 6 tickets up to one week before any concert will get £1 off the ticket price on all tickets purchased.   This offer is available only by ringing Brian on 01652 649230 or emailing him on brianchudley@btinternet.com

Troll folk Indie Folk Rock from Finland UK Tour June 2015

TROLLFOLK - indie, folk-rock with attitude all the way from FINLAND! UK Tour 1 - 9 June 2015 TROLLFOLK DEBUT UK TOUR // 1 - 9 JUNE 2015 Trollfolk® is an indie world folk rock band from Joensuu, Eastern Finland. In 2010, singer Usi Riikonen fulfilled a long awaited dream to sing in her native language, Swedish. She gathered the best musicians and created Trollfolk®. A Finnish band performing Finnish indie-folk-rock with Swedish lyrics is not only a traditional contradiction, but also a musical rebellion. Conflict and musical dynamics made for enough explosive force, and off they went in Spring 2010 to unleash their sound on Finnish audiences. All members but the singer Usi Riikonen have Finnish as their native language. Most of the song’s lyrics are taken from traditional Swedish folk songs, and rearranged in Trollfolk’s own musical style. But Trollfolk® also writes and composes it's own material. Trollfolk’s roots are in North Karelian folkmusic, but rock, pop, jazz and even punk are clearly present. Their sound is fresh due to their first-class musicianship and songwriting, and their kick-ass attitude. Trollfolk® redefines Folk rock one more time. This time, it comes from Eastern Karelia, but different than expected. Trollfolk® takes the heart of Finnish Folk music and puts it into Swedish folk rock. Something truly spectacular. Trollfolk® made their first public appearance in November 2010 with great success. Right away, they went to the studio to record 3 of their songs, released in December 2010. Additional gigs followed, but the public wanted more! Trollfolk® has played many festivals and venues in Finland but will make a short trip to the UK in June 2015 for the first time. Plans for completing their record are currently in progress and their first ever UK Tour from 1st June - 9th June 2015. Line up includes: Katsi Kokkonen, Clarinet, Accordion, Flute  Mammu Koskelo, Kantele, vocals and Guitar  Lade Laakkonen, Bass  Eve Pietarinen, Bouzuki and vocals  Usi Riikonen, Lead vocal  Riku Leiniäinen, Drums For availability, bookings etc please contact: GAIL COOKE  LAUGHING DOG MUSIC  SHEFFIELD, UK  00 44 (0) 7905 952 374  gail@laughingdogmusic.co.

CURTIS ELLER'S AMERICAN CIRCUS - UK FESTIVAL DATES 2015

CURTIS ELLER'S AMERICAN CIRCUS - UK FESTIVAL DATES 2015, mid-June to mid-August TOURING THE UK for the festival season 2015 mid-June to mid-August (t CURTIS ELLER'S AMERICAN CIRCUS - UK FESTIVAL DATES 2015, mid-June to mid-August OLD TIME RELIGION - Curtis Eller's American Circus TOURING THE UK for the festival season 2015 mid-June to mid-August (there may be some flexibility either side). Contact gail@laughingdogmusic.co.uk for availability and bookings. The craziest, yodelling banjo player this side of New York. It's Vaudeville, it's Folk, it's Comedy, it's Song & Dance, it's the one and only Curtis Eller and his American Circus. Touring mid-June to mid-August for UK festival dates. Having spent a decade toiling away in the musical sweatshops of New York City, banjo player and songwriter, Curtis Eller uprooted his family and resettled in North Carolina where he is diligently pursuing his goal of becoming America's leading purveyor of songs about Elvis Presley and Richard Nixon! The wild-eyed vaudevillian’s banjo-driven, rock & roll songs describe a dreamlike vision of American history where all points in time have collapsed into one. Past recordings have seen a ghastly parade of historical luminaries, from Abraham Lincoln and Buster Keaton to Amelia Earhart and Joe Louis, sharing the spotlight with a host of Civil War generals and corrupt 19th century politicians. 'Sugar in my coffin' - CURTIS ELLER The latest incarnation of the band has spent a year sharpening their skills in the burlesque houses, beer halls and underground theatres of the Carolina Piedmont. After touring the US, Europe and Canada relentlessly, the time has come for Eller and the band to descend into the Carolinian song-mines to begin unearthing material for their next phonographic recording. This time listeners will be treated to a fresh collection of show tunes, dance fads and gospel music whose lyrics are populated by two-bit prize fighters, Hollywood has-beens, grave-robbers and forgotten pop-stars. There's a fictional campaign song for Herbert Hoover, and at least one song about the filth and corruption of the Chicago meatpacking industry of the 1890's.
