Dale Storr headlines Town Hall Live at Kirton In Lindsey this Friday, the 20th October 2023

'If there is a better New Orleans style pianist than the outrageously talented Dale Storr, please

point me in his or her direction because he or she must be very, very special' - Blues in Britain Magazine.

Dale Storr is the epitome of a local boy made good.  He grew up on Hemswell and went to Huntcliff  School went in Kirton. His parents still live in Kirton, but Dale is based in Sheffield. 
Described by the Jazz Journal Magazine as the 'piano man's' piano man and a natural treasure, Dale's musical journey has brought him recognition as one of the UK's leading exponents of New Orleans piano,

Inspired by his parents record collection, the evocative music of New Orleans quickly became a passion foe the schoolboy pianist.  His piano studies took him to Sheffield, where he established himself as a highly sought player backing many of the top blues stars from the UK and America.  However, the music of his beloved New Orleans was always going to take precedence and from 2008 Dale went solo with his acclaimed 'Sounds of New Orleans' concerts.

  He has wowed audiences across the country and Europe with his intoxicating mastery of the piano and his vocal delivery for over 15 years..  Dale draws in the audience with the rich history of the music, telling stories of his much loved piano heroes.

  Tickets are priced at £14.  They are available from Brian on 01652 649230/ brianchudley@btinternet.com, from Morrisons Daily in Kirton or www.wegottickets.com

An Evening With Wilson & Wakeman @ Kirton Town Hall, Thursday 23 December 2021

An Evening With Wilson & Wakeman @ Kirton Town Hall, Thursday 23 December 2021

What better way to celebrate Christmas than with a concert from Damian Wilson and Adam Wakeman back to Kirton for their fourth appearance at Town Hall Live.  Their three previous concerts in 2018 – 2020 have been the highlight of the year for us.  Their concert is the last date of their delayed 2021 European tour UK Tour.

With Damian Wilson on vocals and acoustic guitar and Adam Wakeman on keyboards, vocals and acoustic guitar, it will be an evening of great musicianship, great songs, great atmosphere and jovial banter between themselves and the audience, with stories and memories from their touring careers.

  Damian Wilson is most widely known for his contribution to the progressive rock genre, as lead singer in bands such as Threshold, Headspace and Rick Wakeman’s English Rock Ensemble.  As a solo artist he has released five solo albums and a retrospective compilation.  He has featured in over 70 albums in his career and played the lead role of Jean Valjean in Les Miserables.  Damian has one of the most versatile voices in rock, with an incredible vocal range.

Adam Wakeman is best known as the keyboard player with Black Sabbath and Ozzy Osbourne.  He has played with them for over 15 years.  He has released nine albums with his father Rick, as well as releasing four solo albums.  He co-wrote the 2010 platinum solo album ‘Scream’ with Ozzy and has also toured with the likes of Travis, Annie Lennox and 10cc.

As a duo, Damian and Adam have released three albums, ‘Weir Keeper’s Tale’ in 2016 and ‘The Sun will Dance in its Twilight Hour’ in 2018 and ‘Stripped’ in 2019.  The latter is a ‘live’ studio album featuring songs from their 2018 tour and are the staples of their concerts.   It has just Damian and Adam playing acoustic guitar and keyboard and includes many of their own songs and choice covers such as Life on Mars and Feel Like Going Home. 

Both are due to release new solo albums in November.  Damian’s is called ‘Limehouse to Lechlade’, which refers to the navigable length of the River Thames heading upstream from Central London to the Cotswolds.  Damian loved his many years living on river boats and travelling the Thames is special for him.  The album has an underlying concept throughout and also represents our journey through life.  Adam’s album is called ‘A Handful of Memories’ and his first contemporary piano in 25 years.  It is a reflection of Adam’s experiences over the years including family trips, his touring family and places that hold special memories for him.

Advance tickets £14.00 from Londis (Kirton), Brian on 01652 649230/  brianchudley@btinternet.com or www.wegottickets.com

Blue Rose Code are one of the best live acts around.  They regularly play sold out shows at venues such as The Queens Hall, Edinburgh and Union Chapel, London.  Ross Wilson is the band's creator and songwriter.  A solo performance from Ross brings out the beauty and lyrical content of their songs.  His songs address universal themes of love, loss and home.  They are variously painted in the vibrant colours of folk, American jazz, country, soul and Celtic traditions.  Think of a fusion between Van Morrison, a young John Martyn and Motown and you will not be far of the mark.
