Callaghan now lives in Nashville.  She is one of those performers whose genuine sweetness is apparent in her voice and it shines through in her writing.  Her music blurs the edges between pop, adult contemporary and Americana.  She is a truly talented performer.  BBC's Bob Harris is a fan and says  'Callaghan is a wonderful artist, beautiful warm and hugely talented. Callaghan's songs reflect moments and experiences in her own life, as well as stories that people have shared with her.   They are not strictly biographical, but are written in a universal way, which allows her audience to connect the songs to their own lives. It is exactly 12 months since Callaghan's last appearance at Town Hall Live.  It was a sold out show.  For this concert she will be accompanied by Pete Rinaldi on guitar and Dan Snyder on keyboards. Since then she has released 'Acoustic Coffee House'  which is a 'live studio' performance of her favourite songs from her two studio albums, plus live favourites. Supporting Callaghan will be Liverpool singer songwriter Robert Vincent, who last year won the Emerging Artist Award at Americana UK.  His songs are laced with blues and country.  As Bob Harris says 'Robert Vincent is the real deal. She will be joined on her latest UK tour by Peter on guitar and Dan Snyder on keyboards. Advance tickets are priced at £12.50.  Tickets are on sale now and can be obtained from the One Stop store in the town, from Brian on 01652 649230 or from www.wegottickets.com They will be £14.50 on the door and appearing next  at TOWN HALL LIVE                     THE  MIGHTY DOONANS         on Friday 7th April,  2017 THL's concert of the year for 2015 (and probably 2016) featured The Mighty Doonans.  They are back be popular demand.  Comprising of nine family members from the North East of England they play innovative interpretations of traditional and contemporary songs.  They blend different genres of music and more than the occasional joke to produce a thoroughly entertaining evening.

Introducing Original Dutch Funk Unit The Jig

The Jig


Gut-Grinding Amsterdam Funk Machine
With a Rock ’n’ Roll Attitude

A seven piece funk outfit The Jig recently celebrated the release of its third album Proximo Disco.

The Jig is is one of few genuine professional funk bands, a tight pack that writes and plays only original tunes. Funk is an essential element of most popular music including hiphop, pop, disco and dance. The Jig from Amsterdam delivers the real deal, sounding urgent and up-to-date with their feverish horns, hairdo-disrupting guitar, sawing synths plus Hammond, face-slapping bass and uptight drums. They performed on many prominent stages and festivals in Holland and toured regularly through Germany, Belgium, Spain, France, USA and Brazil.

On Proximo Disco the band collaborates for the first time with a singer on three tracks: Mr. Ruben Seyferth. Although the instrumental band despises singers in general, they love Mr. Ruben who is joining the group for a large part of the set on live occasions. His voice can be described as a combination of Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler and Prince.

Those who have seen the band perform know The Jig invariably delivers a powerful, tight, passionate and festive live show.

‘Perfect combination of dirty greasy P-funk, the rolling rhythms of The Meters and the high quality performance of Tower of Power. Virtuosic solo’s, eager playing & fun. Go see them live!’ - Jazzism Magazine
 
album is packed with heavy funk with a rock ’n’ roll attitude combined with soul, afro, jazz and more. On Proximo Disco The Jig sounds more diverse and catchier than ever.
