Post us a personal note if you wish to be invited.

Three of the finest modern singer songwriters around today, come together for an incredible night of song, stories, dark humour and light melancholia

Jeb Loy Nichols is a restless soul. An artist and author as well as a musician, he has released ten CD's, mixing folk, soul and country. Born in Wyoming and raised in Missouri, Nichols absorbed the sounds of both rural America and the southern soul he heard on the radio. At 17 he moved to New York; four years later he came to London.He spent five years playing with Fellow travellers, a country/dub band, and then released his first solo CD.

He has toured and played with John Martyn, Richard Thompson, Robert Cray,John Hiatt, Horace Andy and Lucinda Williams. His current CD, Days Are Mighty, has been described by The Guardian, as an absolute campfire classic. A soulful record, full of slow burning melancholia http://www.jebloynichols.co.uk

 

According to the US music biz bible, USA Entertainment News, Michael Weston King
"has entered the rarefied field of classic singer songwriters". Admired by the likes of Chris Hillman,Ron Sexsmith,and the legendary Townes van Zandt (who covered one of Michael's songs)he draws his influences from Pop Music to Folk, from Country music to Soul. He was the leader of U.K. Alt Country pioneers The Good Sons, whose 7 year career was recently celebrated by the
double album,Cosmic Fireworks-The Best of The Good Sons(1994-2001). UnCut wrote "The band who must rate as England's very own Uncle Tupelo. A truly thrilling collection." For the past six years he has been a solo troubadour,touring all over the world, with the likes of Nick Cave, John Cale, Roger McGuinn,Steve Earle, and many more, and releasing five beautiful, articulate albums along the way. His most recent album, A New Kind of Loneliness, including contributions from Chris Hillman, Ron Sexsmith and Jackie Leven, has been widely hailed as his finest to date,
"Like Tim Hardin, Phil Ochs or Townes van Zandt, King transmutes squalor and self-laceration into pure gold" Mojo

Hailed by The Independent as 'one of the finest songwriters in Britain' and classed
by Rolling Stone as 'England's best kept musical secret', Peter Bruntnell is
currently putting the finishing touches to the acoustic-based psychedelic-tinged
new album Peter And The Murder Of Crows (out on Loose Music in September) - the follow up to Ghost In A Spitfire - the album he recorded with members of Son Volt and Black Grape in 2005. Now based in Devon where he indulges in his passion for surfing he'sjust as happy hooking up with his band and playing the big stages with the likes of Squeeze and Son Volt as he is when touring the country solo armed only with an acoustic guitar.Either way you'll be guaranteed to be entertained by one of the most powerfully understated performers around.
