The band's rich mix of Americana and soul is intoxicating.  Danny's voice oozes character and the Champs are all top musicians. Their 2103 album 'Stay True' was one of the year's best albums.  In 2014 they followed it up with a double live album 'Live Champs' recorded at The Jazz Café in London.  Early this year they brought out 'What Kind of Love'  which got 5 star reviews across the music press. Live they are simply flawless and take the music to another level, they are like Springsteen filtered through a stack of Stax 45's. Support will come from the charismatic Clubhouse Records artist from Rutland, Paul McClure.  The passing world is the subject of Paul's songs, in particular the loves and losses that come his way.  He is the perfect opening act for the Champs   Advance tickets are priced at £12.50.  Tickets can be obtained from the One Stop store in the town, from Brian on 01652 649230 or from www.wegottickets.com They will be £14.50 on the door and so on to 2016 ... we  have some fantastic acts  lined up for the new year.   First up is: ROD PICOTT  on Saturday 6th February Rod Picott is the son of a welder from Berwick Maine, who now lives in East Nashville.  Rod started out as a sheet rock hanger and his songs bear the real life scars of blue collared America, they are inhabited by manual workers, circus hands, boxers and working girls. Rod has toured the UK every year since 2001 and has built up a substantial following over that time.  Live he is extremely entertaining.  Whilst his songs make the listener think, his between song banter make audience members laugh and smile.  He is the complete entertainer. Support will come from the hugely popular Hull trio Farewell Fairground who, over the last 3 years have built up a large following on the north bank of the Humber and beyond. Advance Tickets for this concert will be £11.00, and can be obtained from the usual outlets.

News from Topic Records 'This September it's June'

Back in 1976 when June Tabor's debut album was released the Topic press office came up with a rather splendid headline - this September it's June. The media of the day weren't entirely convinced and no publication used the caption. Here in the Topic office we'd like to announce that all of June Tabor's splendid recordings are available at the very special price of only £6 each throughout September. The perfect opportunity to catch up with albums you are missing from your collection or purchase a gift for a friend.                TSCD298  JUNE TABOR ~Airs And Graces TSCD360  JUNE TABOR ~ Ashes And Diamonds TSCD410  JUNE TABOR & MARTIN SIMPSON ~ A Cut Above TSCD432  JUNE TABOR  Abyssinians TSCD449  JUNE TABOR ~ Aqaba TSCD450  The SILLY SISTERS ~ No More To The Dance TSCD490  JUNE TABOR ~ Aleyn TSCD510  JUNE TABOR ~ A Quiet Eye TSCD532  JUNE TABOR ~ Rosa Mundi       TSCD543  JUNE TABOR ~ An Echo Of Hooves TSCD557  JUNE TABOR ~ At The Wood's Heart TSCD568  JUNE TABOR ~ Apples TSCD577  JUNE TABOR ~ Ashore TSCD585  JUNE TABOR & OYSTERBAND ~ Ragged Kingdom   We continue our monthly choice of CDs at a very special price with 4 more great Fledg’ling titles:            FLED 3028  SHIRLEY COLLINS ~ The Power of the True Love Knot FLED 3043  JOHN KIRKPATRICK ~ The Duck Race FLED 3083  IAN MATTHEWS & The Searing Quartet ~ Joy Mining FLED 3088  ANDY ROBERTS ~ Urban Cowboy Our colleagues at Fledg'ling are pleased to announce two exciting new releases: FLED 3098  PLAINSONG ~ Reinventing Richard (the songs of Richard Fariña) Plainsong – founded by Iain Matthews and Andy Roberts in 1972 – have championed Richard Fariña’s songwriting since the group’s inception. With Reinventing Richard they have produced a classic album that imagines how his songs might have sounded, if written and first recorded in a 21st century electro/acoustic setting. FLED 3099  JOHN KIRKPATRICK ~ Tunes From The Trenches Squeezebox maestro John Kirkpatrick has recorded a glorious selection of of songs from the First and Second World Wars. In a programme that highlights two different kinds of material – as you’d expect there’s a smattering of the popular hits of the day, interspersed with a selection of songs sung on the Front Line by service personnel.

Troll folk Indie Folk Rock from Finland UK Tour June 2015

TROLLFOLK - indie, folk-rock with attitude all the way from FINLAND! UK Tour 1 - 9 June 2015 TROLLFOLK DEBUT UK TOUR // 1 - 9 JUNE 2015 Trollfolk® is an indie world folk rock band from Joensuu, Eastern Finland. In 2010, singer Usi Riikonen fulfilled a long awaited dream to sing in her native language, Swedish. She gathered the best musicians and created Trollfolk®. A Finnish band performing Finnish indie-folk-rock with Swedish lyrics is not only a traditional contradiction, but also a musical rebellion. Conflict and musical dynamics made for enough explosive force, and off they went in Spring 2010 to unleash their sound on Finnish audiences. All members but the singer Usi Riikonen have Finnish as their native language. Most of the song’s lyrics are taken from traditional Swedish folk songs, and rearranged in Trollfolk’s own musical style. But Trollfolk® also writes and composes it's own material. Trollfolk’s roots are in North Karelian folkmusic, but rock, pop, jazz and even punk are clearly present. Their sound is fresh due to their first-class musicianship and songwriting, and their kick-ass attitude. Trollfolk® redefines Folk rock one more time. This time, it comes from Eastern Karelia, but different than expected. Trollfolk® takes the heart of Finnish Folk music and puts it into Swedish folk rock. Something truly spectacular. Trollfolk® made their first public appearance in November 2010 with great success. Right away, they went to the studio to record 3 of their songs, released in December 2010. Additional gigs followed, but the public wanted more! Trollfolk® has played many festivals and venues in Finland but will make a short trip to the UK in June 2015 for the first time. Plans for completing their record are currently in progress and their first ever UK Tour from 1st June - 9th June 2015. Line up includes: Katsi Kokkonen, Clarinet, Accordion, Flute  Mammu Koskelo, Kantele, vocals and Guitar  Lade Laakkonen, Bass  Eve Pietarinen, Bouzuki and vocals  Usi Riikonen, Lead vocal  Riku Leiniäinen, Drums For availability, bookings etc please contact: GAIL COOKE  LAUGHING DOG MUSIC  SHEFFIELD, UK  00 44 (0) 7905 952 374  gail@laughingdogmusic.co.
