Wild Ponies @ Kirton Town Hall Live!

November 23rd Doors: 7:00 PM Advance Tickets: £10 Door prices are £2.00 higher Bands start around 7.30 PM   Kirton Town Hall Market Square Kirton in Lindsey North Lincolnshire DN21 4LZ Click to buy Tickets Tickets can be purchased in person from the "One Stop" shop in Kirton in Lindsey   Over the Phone, call Brian on: 01652 649230   Online at: www.wegottickets.com   Or at concerts prior to the date Wild Ponies     Performing @ Kirton Town Hall Live Sunday 23rd November   The WILD PONIES are Doug and Telisha Williams.  Formerly from Martinsville, Virginia they moved to East Nashville a couple of years ago to concentrate on music full time.  The move has paid off with rave reviews in the States and their first headline UK Tour.  Some of the THL regulars will remember them from last year when they supported Rod Picott. Doug and Telisha’s friendly and cheerful nature belies the serious tone of their material, which covers topics such a sexual abuse and murder, but their acerbic wit always creeps into their songs. Telisha plays upright bass and sings lead vocals.  She comes over all sweet with a sunshine smile, but with the subject matter of the songs she taunts and teases. Doug supports her words with harmonies and although his vocals are perfect, it is his guitar that is his weapon.  He fingerpicks beautiful melodies in ballads such as in the song ‘Iris’ and really bends the strings on the upbeat songs.  For more information and videos visit: www.townhalllive.co.uk Support will come from our very own ‘sound man’ Gerry McNeice who will perform a 35 minute set with The Gerry McNeice Band. Advance tickets are priced at £10 otherwise £12.00 on the door. Tickets can be obtained from the One Stop store in the town, from Brian on 01652 649230 or from www.wegottickets.com Don't miss it!

In March they went into the Studio to record their second album 'We're Getting There Aren't We'.   The CD was produced by Alan Smyth, who has previously recorded the Artic Monkeys.  The album was crowd funded and launched at The Memorial Hall, Sheffield in July.  It is a gem.

Carrie Elkin @ Kirton Town Hall Sunday 28th Sep

Carrie Elkin Performing @ Kirton Town Hall Live 

Sunday 28th September

Carrie Elkin from Austin, Texas is a born performer, possessing an infectious energy and having the most powerful voice which is revelatory and riveting.
Very few people in this world can captivate an audience live music, with just a voice and guitar the way Carrie can. Her songs are, at once, intimate yet universal, naked but richly adorned. When she was younger Carrie was a national champion gymnast, who then went on to study physiology at Ohio University to become an organic chemist.
Music, however, was in her blood and the attention she was gaining from her song writing gave rise to a career change as she began to record and tour across America. In 2011 she released her debut CD for Red House Records ‘Call It My Garden’ and the CD immediately topped the folk and Americana Radio Charts in the states.
In May this year she released a duo album ‘For Keeps’ with her partner, and soon to be husband, Danny Schmidt. It sees the two performers passing guitar back and forth and sharing songs, with each joining the other in harmony.
For the concert she will be joined by accomplished musicians Anthony Da Costa on guitar/vocals and Lindsey Verill on bass/cello/vocals.
Support will come from Manchester singer/songwriter Little Rach, who herself released her debut album ‘If You Go’ earlier in the year.  

Check out upcoming acts on the web site at: http://www.townhalllive.co.uk/
Advance tickets are priced at £11 and can be obtained from the One Stop store in the town, from Brian on 01652 649230 or from www.wegottickets.com
