support Farewell
Fairground
on
Saturday 6th
February,
2016
It has been 16 years since Rod Picott laid down his work belt, picked up an
acoustic guitar and put a permanent end to his gig as a sheet rock hanger. He'd
been writing music in private for years, but it was 2001's Tiger Tom Dixon Blues
- a debut album that bridged the gap between folk and Americana - that
officially introduced him as a singer/ songwriter, kick starting one of the more
acclaimed careers in modern day roots music. Since then, he has focused on a
different kind of construction: building a catalogue of songs that spin stories
of hard work, heartache and the human condition.
Since 2001 he has recorded
seven albums the latest of which, 'Fortune' was released in September 2015.
With 'Fortune' he focuses in himself, strips bare what he found rattling around
his heart and invites the listener to follow a deeper and more intimate journey.
The album has won 4 and 5 star reviews across the UK Music Press.
Live he
his thoroughly entertaining, whilst his songs tell a story and make you think,
his banter between songs makes you laugh and smile

such as Kodaline, Mumford & Sons and Kings of Leon.

Lauren Housley is a rising star of the UK music scene. She has recently
been heard on the Terry Wogan (in session), Chris Evans, Bob Harris and Jeremy
Vine shows on BBC Radio 2.

Americana and is compared to the likes of Bonnie Raitt, Elkie Brooks and Dusty
Springfield.
She will be appearing with her band that consists of Thomas Dibb
on guitars, Mark Lewis on bass, Chris Hillman on pedal steel, dobro and mandolin
and Craig Hanson on drums.
Live, her voice is as powerful and subtle as can
be heard on her album 'Sweet Surrender'. She creates music that crosses over
soul, blues, country and rock barriers, whilst all the time reaching out to the
mainstream.
Support will come from Leeds University music student Skye, who
first appeared at Town Hall Live as a 16 year old in 2012.
