Since 2001 he has recorded seven albums the latest of which, 'Fortune' was released in September 2015.  With 'Fortune' he focuses in himself, strips bare what he found rattling around his heart and invites the listener to follow a deeper and more intimate journey.  The album has won 4 and 5 star reviews across the UK Music Press. Live he his thoroughly entertaining, whilst his songs tell a story and make you think, his banter between songs makes you laugh and smile Support will come from popular Hull trio Farewell Fairground, who are an acoustic band full of uniqueness, harmonies and charisma.  They are influenced by a range of artists such as Kodaline, Mumford & Sons and Kings of Leon.

She will be appearing with her band that consists of Thomas Dibb on guitars, Mark Lewis on bass, Chris Hillman on pedal steel, dobro and mandolin and Craig Hanson on drums. Live, her voice is as powerful and subtle as can be heard on her album 'Sweet Surrender'.  She creates music that crosses over soul, blues, country and rock barriers, whilst all the time reaching out to the mainstream.

His songs are lyrically rich and finely crafted.  They accentuate the narrative, they celebrate subtlety.  They are filled with nimble wordplay and cool cadences, they move with the light feet of a dancer, but in their tone and theme, they contain weight, depth and substance. Live, his guitar playing is exceptional and a voice that is distinctive and mellifluous.   Everything about the man is gentle, except for his insight is crushing. For his latest UK tour he will be joined by his wife CARRIE ELKIN on harmony vocals.  Some of you may remember Carrie from her headline THL concert in September last year.  The tour will celebrate the release of Danny's latest CD 'Owls, which is the follow up last year's beautiful duo album with Carrie 'For Keeps'. Support will come from Harrogate singer and keyboardist Vicky Whelan.  Last year Vicky recorded her latest EP 'Closer To The Sun' with her band Dragonfly Tattoo.  It boasts a haunting blend of fragility and strength. Advance tickets are priced at £12.  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 £13.50 on the door Then next time at TOWN HALL LIVE ...

Support will come from York based musician Dan Webster and his band. Advance Tickets for this concert will be £12, and can be obtained from the usual outlets.    Bring Your Friends for a  Great Night Out and Save  on Tickets!

Penguin Cafe Tonight Sunday 6 September 7.30pm at Lincoln Drill Hall

Penguin Cafe Tonight Sunday 6 September 7.30pm at Lincoln Drill Hall

The Penguin Cafe was founded by Arthur Jeffes in 2009, bringing together a talented and disparate group of musicians from the likes of Suede, Gorillaz and Razorlight, initially to perform his father Simon Jeffes’ legacy of world renowned Penguin Cafe Orchestra music, ten years after his untimely death in 1997.

Arthur, a talented composer in his own right, quickly began to create new and unique genre-defying music, with the spellbinding philosophy of the Penguin Cafe always in his mind. A uniquely exciting opportunity to hear this extraordinary brand of globally inspired but category-defying music that will bring Festival800 to a magnificent close. Tickets: £16 from 01522 873894

The Good Lovelies are Caroline Brooks, Kerrie Ough and Sue Passmore.  They will be joined on the tour by ace bassist Marie Josee (MJ) Dandenau, who some of you may remember as being a member of Amanda Rheaume's band when they played here in September 2014.

If, on the other hand, you prefer your rock music to make you feel like you’ve just been run over by a rather happy truck or some sort of tractor, then you could be in the right place. Its just good, honest, heavy rock and good honest loud people seem to really like it.

They were due to headline in March last year, but had to cancel at the last minute due to an illness to lead singer Sam Kipling. Wilful Missing are uniquely different, their music is beautifully inventive and their song writing intelligent.  Their latest album 'Molehills out of Mountains' is carefully crafted. On album and in concert they play a host of instruments from cahon to pipes, banjo to accordion & keyboards and drums to produce a rich Americana sound, interspersed with Irish melodies and continental vibes, all underpinned with Sam's cracked vocals. They describe themselves as alternative, acoustic folk rock, but they are more than that. We welcome back The Fireside Knights as support. They last played in December, 2014 and we just had to have them back.  We look forward to hearing Rachel's crystal clear voice, Steve's dynamic lead bass and Mark's guitar and mandolin.
