See What's Coming Up at Town Hall Live - Kirton Lindsey.


TOWN HALL LIVE - KIRTON 


 NEXT CONCERT ON

FRIDAY 10TH NOVEMBER
with

THE PAPERBOYS



with support from SARAH JANE SCOUTEN

The Paperboys from Vancouver last played Town Hall Live in July, 2015.  It was one of our best ever concerts.  Now they are back with their adventurous vision of Canadian roots music, spreading good cheer and great music.
The Paperboys formed in 1995 when Tom Landa moved to Vancouver.  They soon became a key part of the ever increasing wave of Canadian folk rock bands that included The Duhks, The Bills and Great Big Sea.  The Paperboys, however, were different with Celtic fiddle, flue, and trombone blazing through their songs.  The songs included Spanish language songs that reflected Tom's heritage and rock songs with strong pop influences.  Their sound is a melting pot, that includes healthy servings of Ska, Soca, folk, soul and funk.
Live they are dynamic and the current line up features Tom Landa on multi stringed instruments and vocals, Geoffrey Kelly on flutes and whistles, Tom's wife Kalissa on fiddle and vocals, Brad Gillard on bass, banjo and trombone, ans Sam Esecson on drums.  They are the best multi lingual, multi generational, multi instrumental and genre bendin band you will ever hear.
For a taster of what to expect watch the official video for 'City of Chains' here
Support comes from fellow Canadian SARAH JANE SCOUTEN who, herself has just finished a headlining UK tour.  Sarah released her latest album 'When The Bloom Falls from the Rose' in the summer.
'Poland' a track taken from the album  is shown here

Advance Tickets are £13.50 and can be obtained from the One Stop store in Kirton, from Brian on 01652 649230/ brianchudley@btinternet.com or here
Venue:  Town Hall, Market Square, Kirton in Lindsey, N Lincs, DN21 4LZ
and then on
Friday 8th December we welcome back

THE LAUREN HOUSLEY BAND

After a wonderful concert in Kirton last December, 2017 has seen The Lauren Housley Band play many prestigious festivals.  The band comprises Lauren on vocals, Thomas Dibb on electric and acoustic guitars. Mark Lewis on bass, Chris Hillman on pedal steel, dobro and mandolin and Craig Hanson on drums and percussion.
The band also appear under the name of Chorlton Country Club, playing Americana music rather than their trademark blues and soul.  They will play the first set.
Live Lauren Housley is simply breath taking.  Their are hints of blues, soul, rock and country in her locker and she has a warm, intense and enjoyable style of her own.
In August this year she released her latest album 'The Beauty of this Life'.  A video of the title track is shown here

Advance Tickets  are on sale NOW and are priced at £13.50
