The Story Song Scientists - MEGAN HENWOOD & FINDLAY NAPIER - UK touring dates MARCH 2019

Findlay Napier & Megan Henwood
We have a few dates left to fill between 3 - 30 March 2019
Snape Maltings, Aldeburgh 2016 and Megan Henwood and Findlay Napier are a few hours into an EFDSS (English Folk Dance Song Society) run songwriting retreat. They are outside drinking their 7th coffee of the morning. Napier's driven nine hours from Glasgow and is a bit wobbly. Henwood's back from a month long writing trip to Nashville and she is jet lagged and delusional. "Fancy writing a song about maths?" Napier enquires. And so the seed for this songwriting partnership was sewn.
Their collaboration has led to the creation of songs about a hermit known as The North Pond Phantom, WBAI host Bob Fass' lifesaving broadcast on 6th Nov 1971, Georg Cantor's struggle with infinity, maths and God and something about Shepherds and leaders. They are yet to write a song about pickup trucks... or beer.

The Story Song Scientists
If ever an artist called on the elements in her songwriting, it's Megan Henwood. The distinguished English singer-songwriter is far too self-deprecating to describe herself as a force of nature, but her third album 'River' reaffirms her unique ability to create roots music of beguiling purity from what's around her.
One of the finest songwriters and storytellers of the contemporary Scottish folk scene Findlay Napier is an insurgent talent that comes on like a Caledonian Loudon Wainwright. Distilled to artful acoustic guitar and Napier's remarkable voice his most recent album 'Glasgow' captures the timeless essence of one of the world's great cities.

"Raw nerves are constantly prodded -she has moved far beyond (Folk's) parameters into a world where anything is possible" - R2 Magazine
"She hones her songs so beautifully and the production is superbly judged"
- Country Music People: Americana
FINDLAY NAPIER PRESS:
"...one of the finest songwriters and storytellers of the contemporary Scottish folk scene." - Folk Radio UK
"After his debut release V.I.P.: Very Interesting Persons I wondered how he could possibly surpass such a start, with 'Glasgow' the master craftsman just gets better" - FATEA Magazine
"Napier's epically muscular, grittily raw yet brilliantly nuanced voice, to both comic and emotive effect, allies with some of the most fabulous (literally and figuratively) original songs that anyone's writing today." - Folk Radio UK: Live Review

Lynne Hanson and the Good Intentions Saturday 17th November at Kirton In Lindsey Town Hall


TOWN HALL LIVE


  presents
LYNNE HANSON & THE GOOD INTENTIONS

on 
SATURDAY 17TH NOVEMBER 
with support from AMY ANDREWS


Lynne Hanson started playing guitar as a teenager, eventually working her way to an award winning debut album in 2006.  Tow more albums quickly followed and each garnered critical approval.  Lynne then took time out, before returning in 2014 with the excellent 'River of Sand', which saw her writing mature into a more intuitive and visceral style.  'Uneven Ground' followed in 2017 and explores giving sound advice through song writing and fighting back against the devil within us.
At first listen, Lynne Hanson's warm, but gritty music leads you to think of America's South, but Lynne is in fact from Ottawa, Canada.
Her sound is born honestly, through a lifetime of experiences and influences expressed through rock, blues and roots music that bleeds from her very being.  Her songs are familiar and comfortable, fearless and strong.  Her bluesy croon is pure and full of passion.
At the start of 2018, Lynne teamed up with Lynn Miles to release an album and tour under the name of The LyNNeS.  Both were a great success.

Now she is back with her band, The Good Intentions which again features MJ Dandneau on bass, plus new members Kevin Corbett on lead guitar and Cody Iwasiuk on drums.
Lynne's previous performances at Town Hall Live have been a joy and we are sure that this concert will be no different.
Supporting, as a special guest will be AMY ANDREWS from Atlanta, Georgia.  Amy has a powerful voice that can change from soaring to reserved and is reminiscent of Eva Cassidy.  There is an intimacy in Amy's live performances that make the listener feel she is singing to them personally.  Her voice is strong, seductively smooth and full of emotion.  Earlier this year she released her debut album 'The Best'

Advance Tickets are £13.00 and can be obtained from the One Stop store in Kirton, from Brian on 01652 649230 or brianchudley@btinternet.com or from www.wegottickets.com
Venue:  Town Hall, Market Square, Kirton in Lindsey, N Lincs, DN21 4LZ
and then for our last concert of the year we welcome
DANNI NICHOLLS to TOWN HALL LIVE.

She will be accompanied by Tom Dibb and Mark Lewis with support from ROBBIE CAVANAGH.
This concert is on Friday 7th December

Danni Nicholls effortlessly slips from smoky soul, folk-pop and heart wrenching alternative country, all in her trademark rich, velvety voice.
Danni's start continues to rise, with two consecutive Americana Music Association Award nominations for Album of The Year in 2017 and Artist of the Year in 2018.  She also performed at this year's Folk Alliance International in Kansas.  In May this year she embarked on her next musical journey, making a new studio in Nashville with renowned producer Jordan Brooke Hamlin.  It will be released in early 2019.
Danni will be accompanied by two members of the Lauren Housley Band, Tom Dibb on lead guitar and Mark Lewis on bass.
Support will come from Liverpool artist ROBBIE CAVANAGH.  Robbie's beautiful lyrics and flawless soulful vocals, along with his incredible live performances never fail to turn heads.
Back to Danni Nicholls, the word that reoccurs in any review for her is elegance.  Bob Harris of Radio 2 hails her and says 'I absolutely love the beauty and elegance of her music and voice'  
Advance Tickets are on sale NOW and are priced at £13.50.
They can be purchased from the OneStop store in town, Brian on 01652 649230 or www.wegottickets.com

and on to 2019:

The year starts with a bang.  First up on Saturday 19th January is an evening with Damian Wilson and Adam Wakeman - last year's concert was a sell out and there are just a handful of tickets left for this year's concert - don't miss out RESERVE YOURS NOW!!

And then on Friday 1st February we welcome back Canadian band THE ONCE and five year absence.  They are brilliant.  Don't miss them.

We then have lots more to come with Thunder & Rain performing on Friday 15th March, Good Lovelies playing on Saturday 6th April, and the fantastic May Erlewine headlining on Friday 26th April

The Rutles on Tour, May-June 2019

The Rutles on Tour, May-June 2019

After the success of last year's Major Happy Tour, Neil Innes and John Halsey (aka Ron Nasty and Barry Wom) have been persuaded to bring THE RUTLES back for one more UK Tour during May/June 2018.

Several dates on the last tour sold out in advance, including London, Liverpool, Brighton and Glasgow. They already have some venues confirmed for 2019. Scroll down for dates and details.

As everyone knows, The Rutles story began on January 21, 1959 at 43 Egg Lane, Liverpool, where Ron Nasty and Dirk McQuickly first bumped into each other. Ron invited Dirk to help him stand up. Dirk, merely an amateur drinker, agreed and on that spot a legend was created, a legend that will last a lunchtime.

They were soon to be joined by Stig O'Hara, a guitarist of no fixed hairstyle, but it would be another two years before they found their regular drummer, Barrington Womble, hiding in the van. When they did, they persuaded him to change his name to save time and his haircut to save Brylcreem. He became simply Barry Wom.

The rest of The Rutles story is legendary (and can be read on the band's realtively new website).
LINE-UP
The Rutles line-up will be:Neil Innes (lead vocals/piano/guitar) | John "The Admiral" Halsey (drums/vocals)| Jay Goodrich (bass/vocals) | Phil Jackson (keys/piano/vocals) | "Rutling" Ken Thornton (guitars/vocals)

Among other things, Neil Innes was a founding member and principal songwriter of The Bonzo Dog Doo-Dah Band, as well as the "musical member" of the Monty Python team. 

Although the tour period lasts for 30 days, The Rutles will not be avaiable for more than roughly 18-20 shows, as the 'old boys' like to take a break every few days to enjoy the countryside...


The folloing dates have already been booked:
May 2019
Fri 17- London
Sat 18- Lewes
Sun 19- Lewes
Sat 25- Edinburgh
Sun 26- Glasgow
Fri 31- Newcastle
