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.

In December 2018 she and her husband Keiron Marshall played a show in Bergen, Norway with hometown band The Nordic Connections.  Such was the chemistry on stage that night, they decided to team up to record an album and capture the sound they had just created.  Now The Connections come over to the UK to team up with Hannah and Keiron for a series of con pedal steel and slide guitar, Lars Hammersland on keyboards, Oyvund Hoel on bass and Ole Ludvig Kruger on drums.

Catch Lachlan Bryan & The Wildes from Melbourne at Kirton In Lindsey Town Hall Friday 27 August 2021

Town Hall Live Indoor Concerts Resume on Friday 27 August with a concert by Lachlan Bryan & The
Wildes from Melbourne with support from Dan Webster

Town Hall Live Indoor concerts are back after a 18th month absence due to the Coronavirus pandemic.  There is a great Autumn programme booked, see below and hopefully they will not be hit by further restrictions over the period.
For the first concert they welcome Lachlan Bryan & The Wildes to Kirton.  They were originally due to play in May 2021 and the organisers are delighted that they are coming over from Australia.  Prior to 2020, they had built up a solid following and increased their fan base each year. 
You can pin a multitude of labels on Lachlan's music and not be far off the mark. Take you pick from rock 'n' roll, folk, alternative country or any other contemporary folk cliche.  What isn't in doubt is that Lachlan writes superb songs about diverse subjects which always tell a story.
The band have released four albums since 2013 and all are packed with quality material.  Their latest 'Nearest Misses' is a live album, which is basically a 'Best Of' album featuring songs from 'Black Coffee', 'The Mountain' and 'Some Girls (Quite) Like Country Music'.
The Wildes are Shaun Riley on bass guitar and Riley Catherall on lead guitar, whilst Lachlan takes lead vocals and plays guitar, keyboards and harmonica.
Support will come from York singer songwriter and THL favourite Dan Webster.  Dan has released four full length albums over a ten year career, the latest of which is the excellent 'Devil Sky'
