MAIA are a harmonic pyschedelic folk-pop, acoustic quartet from Leeds, who have described themselves as sci-fi folk evangelists! They have a radiant varied sound, stunning 3 part harmonies with a brooding sense of adventure and streaks of pop eccentricity.
After 3 years of live show experience, and supports including the likes of Anais Mitchell, The Low Anthem and The Unthanks the group are continuing to receive huge praise and a greater following for their fantastic live shows. In 2012 and 2013 their festival appearances have included: No6 Festival, Festival of Jim, Broadstairs Folk Week, Musicport, No Direction Home, Hop Farm Festival, Larmer Tree, Port Eliot, London Folk Weekend, Wilderness, Kings Place Festival, Big Boulder Festival, Galtres, Green Belt, Aire Do Festival, The Village Green Fair, Whitby Alternative Folk Week and Glastonbury to name a few!
Their highly acclaimed celestial album "Pepper Stars" released in October 2012 received many 4 and 5 star reviews and was a Time Out Album of the week. The band were well supported on the radio regionally and nationally from Guy Garvey and Tom Robinson on BBC 6 music as well as being picked for Best of 2012 on Radio 4s Loose Ends Culture Show.
2014 saw the release of their first new 4 track EP “Finite World” launched on Record Store Day with several more singles and a new album to follow in 2015.

We are now booking tour dates and have some availability from 21st February - 30th April 2015. European dates also available, enquire now.

Kirton Town Hall Live

Friday 5th December

 
2014 has undoubtedly been Town Hall Live’s best year ever, with 14 wonderful concerts from some wonderful artists from America, Canada and the UK.
 
We finish off the year with a Christmas concert from Belfast based singer song writer Ruth Trimble.

Last year she released a Christmas album ‘Each Christmas Till Then’ which features 9 well known carols along with two of her own Christmas songs.

In May this year Ruth endeared herself to the audience when she played keyboards, bass and percussion in Kimmie Rhodes band.  She also plays in Beth Nielsen Chapman's touring band.  She impressed us so much that we immediately asked her back to play a special Christmas concert.

Ruth is a multi- instrumentalist and has a unique style she pours emotion into her songs and music.  She will be accompanied by Clare Mulligan.

Supporting Ruth and Clare will be Leeds band The Fireside Knights, who will also play a Christmas set.

To embrace the Christmas theme there will be hot mince pies and wine.  We would love you to experience the warmth of a Town Hall Live concert at this special show.

 For more information and videos visit: www.townhalllive.co.uk

Advance tickets are priced at £11 otherwise £12.50 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
