Remembering Paul Butterfield

 Remembering Paul Butterfield December 17, 1942 – May 4, 1987

Paul Vaughn Butterfield was an American blues harmonica player, singer and band leader. After early training as a classical flautist, he developed an interest in blues harmonica. He explored the blues scene in his native Chicago, where he met Muddy Waters and other blues greats, who provided encouragement and opportunities for him to join in jam sessions. He soon began performing with fellow blues enthusiasts Nick Gravenites and Elvin Bishop. #paulbutterfield

The Brother Brothers @ Town Hall Live – Kirton In Lindsey, Lincolnshire 9 September 2022

The Brother Brothers headline Town Hall Live on Friday 9th September

THE BROTHER BROTHERS are identical twins Adam and David Moss from Peoria, Illinois.  Using minimal instrumentation and harmonies so natural that they seem to blend into one beautiful voice.  The evoke memories of Simon & Garfunkel and The Everly Brothers.  They are that good and this will be a concert not to miss concert.  It is guaranteed to be up there as the 'best of the year.  
The brothers were not much older than toddlers when they started singing along to artists that their dad played for them.  Since then they have honed their sound and their music has earned them an international audience and rave reviews from the likes of Billboard and Rolling Stone Magazines.  They have performed coveted performance slots at many of America's leading music festivals.
In 2021 they released their beautiful studio album 'Cala Lily' and have followed that up on with the release of 'Cover to Cover' which features 12 songs written by the likes of James Taylor, Jackson Browne and The Beatles amongst others.  It is just superb.
Their live shows have a definite living room vibe, where the audience gets lost in the lush harmonies and warm acoustics of their performance. 
There is also a top quality support act in will HANNAH READ.  Hailing from Scotland, Hannah is now based in New York.  Mojo Magazine described her as one of the finest singers of the time, as can be heard on her critically acclaimed solo album 'Way Out I'll Wander'.

SALT HOUSE - Lauren MacColl, Jenny Sturgeon & Ewan MacPherson - TOURING 2022 / 2023

 Songs are central to Salt House. New songs that sound as if they’ve always been here.


Ancient ballads woken up. Poems given the tunes they’ve long deserved. Songs about place, politics, landscape and birds. A collaboration of writing and song from 3 of Scotland's foremost performers; Jenny Sturgeon, Ewan MacPherson and Lauren MacColl.

​Their latest album 'Huam' sees them solidify their reputation as fine interpreters of words both old and new. It's their third collection of songs, and the second pairing with folk heavyweight producer Andy Bell. It was released amidst the impressive roster of Hudson Records in 2020. Their most recent EP 'Working For Zeus' was released in 2021, featuring 5 amazing guest musicians Maija Kauhanen, Dean Honer, Cahalen Morrison, Petter Frost Fadnes and Olav Luksengård Mjelva.

​The trio continue their love of recording ‘on location’ with this album, taking themselves to rural Argyllshire to finish writing and recording the songs which were crafted between their homes of Inverness-shire and Shetland.

'Undersong' (2018) was recorded in the stunningly restored Telford Church on the island of


Berneray (as seen on Channel 4’s Restoration Man.) You can hear its tranquility in the sympathetic and dynamic recording. A sense of place captured both in songs and sound; Ewan claims if you listen closely you can even hear the flies in the overhead lights.

You’ll also hear echoes of Pentangle, a touch of Dick Gaughan, murmurs of Scandinavian and Scots, all woven into a music that’s traditional and new. The group’s meticulous attention to detail, shared passions and care for their craft sees Salt House soar.

More about the band:

Singer, guitarist and harmonium player Jenny has a PHD in seabirds. Described by R2 Magazine as “a singer-songwriter who brings together the old and new with a rare skill.” Her songs are earthy and wise; she sings them with beauty and power.

Ewan brings to Salt House a wealth of understanding and experience gained with the highly respected Fribo and Shooglenifty. His songs are poetic and layered; his voice plaintive and from the heart.

Lauren’s arrangements hold a rich, deep, darkness flecked with gold. You can hear the Highlands in Lauren’s elegant bowing, honed while performing with the quartet RANT, The Rachel Newton Band and as a prolific and award-winning soloist. She plays with warmth, wisdom and soul.

“Wonderful… a trio of exceptional talent.” – Folk Radio UK

Ewan MacPherson - vocals, guitars
