release a series of strictly limited edition 7" vinyl EPs and singles. In

they are releasing a series of vinyl records to celebrate a continuing love
affair with a piece of plastic that is still the most exciting format on which

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.

George Benson; John McLaughlin; John Coltrane and Pat Metheny to name a few. In
addition to learning from his favorite recording's, Nabil took his educational
wishes a step further when he sought out the famous lute player Ali Sriti for
several private master classes.
In 2004, Nabil decided to create a hybrid instrument
which would allow him to share his true musical voice and vision that he was
hearing deep within his soul. So after several years of research and
development, Nabil's artistic vision paid off when he completed his one of a
kind double neck lute/guitar instrument which he aptly named,
"RayJam". This unique instrument, allows Nabil Khemir to explore and
share his musical playfulness by having an electric lute and electric guitar
within grasp at a
