Soon after he formed a trio with best friends Andy Sharps (bass) and Conor Downs (drums).  In July last year they released a seven track CD called 'This Family Tree'.  All seven songs are shrewd observations of growing up as teenagers. Luke, from Canterbury, is still only 22 years old and is surely destined for great things.  He is a phenomenal performer, he is not just another bloke with a guitar.  He has been compared to Martin Simpson and Richard Thompson. Luke writes powerful, impressive and personal songs. and a stage presence that many artists would die for.  The command and control he has over his voice is breathtaking and leaves you thinking that you have witnessed a flawless performance.  On top of that his lyrics are hard hitting and downright amusing.  Luke will be accompanied by Andy at this concert. The evening will be made complete with support from Rhiannon Scutt, who was one half of the popular local duo, Rita Payne.   Advance tickets are priced at £12.00.  Tickets are on sale now and can be obtained from the One Stop store in the town, from Brian on 01652 649230 or from www.wegottickets.com They will be £14.00 on the door and appearing next  at TOWN HALL LIVE        on Saturday 15th  October, 2016 GILMORE &  ROBERTS It is three years since Katriona Gilmore and Jamie Roberts last played Town Hall Live.  They have released two studio albums since and have just released a live album.  The tour celebrates the release. Katriona and Jamie met 10 years ago whilst studying at Leeds College of Music.  They started playing open mic nights and quickly progressed to the concert circuit forging a solid full time career for themselves. Live they are dynamic with Kat playing fiddle and mandolin and taking lead vocals, whilst Jamie plays guitar on his lap, giving him his own unique style.  He also takes lead vocals on many songs. To mark 10 years together they recorded the live album on their Spring tour and promote it with a 20 date UK tour.  We are sure to see a dynamic performance from the pair. Support comes from Harrogate musician Vicky Whelan, who played a stunning support slot supporting Danny Schmidt last year.  She was so good, we just had to invite her back. Advanced Tickets for the concert are priced at £12.00 and can be obtained from the usual outlets.  They are on sale now.                   Tickets are on sale now.  Bring Your Friends for a  Great Night Out and Save  on Tickets!
