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 ... AMANDA RHEAUME & BAND Saturday 10th October, 2015 On 10th October we welcome back AMANDA RHEAUME and her band back to Kirton, she played support to Andrew Combs back in September last year. Amanda from Ottawa is an award winning singer song writer with a powerful, slightly gritty, deeply personal but instantly accessible folk/ roots sound with elements of pop, rock and soul in her songs.  She will be joined by Anders Drerup on guitar and MJ Dandeneau on bass. 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
