SUMMARY:Outliers -   Boo Hewerdine & Jenny Sturgeon
DESCRIPTION:Tickets: £16 \nCreated between their homes in Glasgow and Shetland during 2020/21\, Outliers came to signify an outlet which renowned songwriters Boo Hewerdine and Jenny Sturgeon would never have had the chance to explore otherwise. Meeting up online for an hour every week gave them an opportunity to write songs in a way they’d not done before. Recording at home and sending melodies\, sounds\, ideas to each other provided the space and time to experiment outside of a usual studio setting. The evolution and method of creating this music led them to settle on the name Outliers. \nOutliers will be touring in December 2023 and February 2024\, joined on stage by multi-instrumentalist Grant Anderson. \nThe first half of the gig features songs from Boo and Jenny’s back catalogue. In the second half\, Boo\, Jenny and Grant will perform new music from the album ‘Outliers’\, due for release in Autumn 2023 on Hudson Records. \nBoo Hewerdine – vocals\, guitars \nJenny Sturgeon – vocals\, keys\, synth\, guitar\, samples \nGrant Anderson – vocals\, bass guitar\, synth\, samples \n \n  \n

SUMMARY:Straighten Out
DESCRIPTION:Tickets: £15 \nSTRAIGHTEN OUT are the world’s premier Stranglers tribute band with an extensive set-list that spans two solid hours as they re-create the ‘early years’ sound of The Stranglers\, complete with a Hammond organ and Minimoog synth; the same models used by Mr. Greenfield himself\, back in the day! \nThe growling bass sound and the quirky guitar riffs are all there to be heard as is the dual vocal ‘attack’ from the two frontmen a-la Burnel/Cornwell as they rip through the Stranglers’ classic: ‘Peaches’\, ‘Hanging Around’\, ‘No More Heroes’\, ‘5 Minutes’\, ‘The Raven’\, ‘Walk On By’\, ‘Straighten Out’\, ‘Down In The Sewer’ and many more as they cover the Stranglers’ early classic albums and beyond. \nStraighten Out will take you on a nostalgia trip that transports you back to those raw\, powerful\, exhilarating times when The Stranglers emerged through the quagmire of mediocrity to produce some of the finest music ever written. Straighten Out will put you back in that place! \nBassist Shaggy and keyboard player Mick (‘The Doc’) were together in previous Stranglers tribute band ‘Four More Heroes’ and it was only natural that these two continued on after their demise to form ‘Straighten Out’ given their love of Stranglers music and the desire to keep playing live. They set the platform with the growling bass and swirling keyboard sound so essential to reproducing the authentic Stranglers sound. Joining them are Jet ‘Beets’ Beety on drums and Phil Harvey steps up to give you the ‘Hugh’ element to complete the fearsome foursome. \nStraighten Out are a must-see tribute band. \nStraighten Out – Stranglers Tribute Sat Feb 3rd 2024 8pm-10pm – Wrecking Ball Arts Centre (wreckingballmusic.myshopify.com) \n \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Katie Spencer & Henry Parker
DESCRIPTION:Raised in the East Yorkshire flatlands on the fringes of Hull\, Katie Spencer’s landscape has always been that of open skies and widening rivers. Industry still shapes the city here. The people\, as with the land\, are moulded by tides and stark horizons. Stand in the same place for long enough and you can watch the sun rise over the North Sea and then sink into crop fields\, glowing auburn in late-summer sun. It is this sense of space and movement that flows through Katie Spencer’s music. \nThe songwriting\, and most notably her guitar playing stems from a time when the steel-stringed instrument was truly finding its voice. Artists like Joni Mitchell\, James Taylor and perhaps most evidently Michael Chapman\, flow into her sound\, carrying with them the warmth and idealism of the early 70’s folk and songwriter movements. \nKatie Spencer’s widely celebrated new album\, The Edge of the Land (2022)\, follows her debut release\, Weather Beaten (2019) which was praised for its unique song-craft\, spell-binding musicianship and crystal sonic clarity\, as she brought together fans of music from all backgrounds and walks of life. Delicate and un-rushed\, the ten songs on The Edge of the Land drift by like ships on the horizon\, yet intimacy and introspection still remain. \nThe inclusivity found in her recorded works is most apparent when on stage\, with a personal connection and humour that allows the listener time to appreciate the emotion of the music. Her historical gig list is extensive\, taking in the world-renowned Celtic Connections and Cambridge Folk Festival\, whilst performances with Danny Thompson and Alan Thomson have left audiences in awe of her confidence and craftsmanship. \nAs live music has returned to our world\, we can expect to see Katie Spencer where she belongs once more\, eyes closed\, in the moment\, performing. \n— \n“Her articulate picking\, with suggestions of folk and jazz\, frames intelligently written songs and is the backbone to her music.” Guitarist Magazine \n“One of the most satisfying and spellbinding singer-songwriter collections I’ve encountered in some time.” RnR Magazine ★★★★★ \n“Imaginative imagery supported by compelling music that summons up the best of early 70s folk\, fluently delivered here with its own contemporary power. This is a fine collection of memorable songs by an outstanding writer and musician.” Record Collector \n“A timeless English folk album\, perfect for the still calm of a Sunday morning.” Shindig! \n“Katie Spencer sits gracefully in a vocal nook between Sandy Denny\, Linda Thompson and\, to conjure a name we hear less often these days\, Bridget St John.” Prog Magazine \n“The way Katie plays is never contrived\, showy or imitative; it sounds true … a world-class folk guitarist” – fRoots \n“Katie’s guitar playing has echoes of my dear friend the late great Bert Jansch. Like a musical weaver she threads her poetic lyrics through the guitar’s strings and produces little tapestries of song” – Ralph McTell \nwww.katiespencer.net \nhttps://www.facebook.com/katiespencermusic/ \nhttps://twitter.com/KRSpencerMusic \nhttps://www.instagram.com/katiespencermusic/ \n  \nHenry Parker’s contemporary take on folk\, which he explores via thoughtful yet deeply accomplished guitar playing\, unfurls and moves much like the landscape itself – mirroring the unpredictable\, yet beautifully flowing\, rolling hills and valleys of his home\, the Aire Valley in West Yorkshire. \nHenry’s musical roots go back to a self appointed upbringing in rock and heavy metal. However\, enthralled by the ethereal playing of Bert Jansch and Nick Drake\, finger-picking and open tunings rapidly became the essence of his sound. The result is a strain of informed\, progressive folk music found nowhere else. \nHenry has recorded 2 albums: the eco-conscious ‘Silent Spring’ (2019) and ‘Lammas Fair’ (2021)\, bringing him to the forefront of the progressive folk music world. \n“His relaxed vocals and songwriting are as warm and open as his tunings” 8/10 Uncut Magazine \n“What Parker does so effectively is to blend ancient with early-70’s and modern styles” Mojo ★★★★ \n“Original material and traditional songs create an immersive and mellifluous world in which both the peace and isolation of nature are unfurled evoked through subtle arrangements” Prog Magazine \n“Focussing on the seasons is an eternal feature of English folk music and the tradition is well tended here.” Shindig! ★★★★ \n“Channelling the ghosts of Jansch and Renbourn through his fingertips\, the fluid playing and emotive singing of Yorkshire-born Henry Parker evokes the spirit of the early-60’s folk revival as if it were yesterday.” RnR Magazine ★★★★★ \n“We can look forward to more from this impressive young talent who is both steeped in and helping to continue the English Folk Revival” Folk London \n“Precision guitar playing…effortless use of loop pedals\, nice to see an unsigned folk musician playing to such a high level” FATEA \n“A really excellent young guitarist/ songwriter”  Steve Tilston

SUMMARY:Helen McCookerybook with support by Graham Graham Beck
DESCRIPTION:Helen McCookerybook’s songs cover everything from the social impact of new technology to wry observations about relationships. Now a solo guitarist/vocalist influenced by Linda Lewis\, Nick Drake and Jake Thackray\, her musical journey started as a bass player in a Brighton punk band in the late 1970s. Her previous bands The Chefs and Helen and the Horns were regulars on BBC Radio 1’s John Peel show; nowadays Radio London’s Gary Crowley and BBC6’s Gideon Coe play her new music. Her latest CD is Drawing on my Dreams Drawing on my Dreams\, by Helen McCookerybook \n  \nGRAHAM GRAHAM BECK – singer/songwriter of ‘quirky’ Surreal ditties that address the important things in life\, such as cake\, garden gnomes & flying saucers. Ex-art student\, ex-life drawing tutor\, ex-stockroom assistant (& possibly a few other ‘ex’s’ as well)\, he ploughs his course through the subjects that other musicians leave well alone – & who would blame them. But as GGB says\, “Someone’s got to do it!”.\n\nOne man & his keyboard – it’s a Casio at the moment – with auto-accompaniment\, & a few stage props\, will leap(?!) onto stage at Wrecking Ball & ‘have a go’ at entertaining the audience with wit & err\, wisdom. Ten solo albums to his name\, he has previously worked with Wreckless Eric\, been in numerous London bands in the 1980’s\, & supported such acts as The Crazy World Of Arthur Brown\, Tom Robinson & Helen McCookerybook (this will be the fourth occasion). For a few years\, he has been part of Hull’s Comedy Festival Fringe\, as well as the Freedom Festival\, with his comedic routines & silliness. Several songs have appeared/been broadcast on BBC6 Music (via Tom Robinson) over the past few years\, plus dare-I-say-it\, there have been two appearances on BGT. Hmm…\n\nHas to be seen to be believed (or not).

SUMMARY:Jarrod Dickenson
DESCRIPTION:If Jarrod Dickenson’s third studio album\, “BIG TALK” sounds like amighty roar of defiance\, that’s not a design choice or a marketingdecision. The big Texan is settling scores all over town and he meansevery f*cking word.So what happened in the years since the release of Dickenson’s soulfulsophomore long-player\, “Ready the Horses”\, to have turned thishoney-voiced southern gentleman into a brawler? After a major labeldeal-gone-bad threatened to choke off his career and Covid complicationsleft him with a life-long medical condition Dickenson would havecertainly been forgiven for retreating to his Nashville home to lickwounds and maybe write a collection of introspective self-pity anthems.Instead\, the hardships and infuriation of recent years have only addedsteel to the resolve of an artist already willing to do it the hard way\,prepared to stand in the face of a music business that shows dwindlingregard for the brand of artistry that first inspired him to pick up aguitar and sing for his life.

SUMMARY:Romeo's Daughter + Matt Pearce & The Mutiny
DESCRIPTION:Not everyone starts their career with a debut album – released in 1988 – produced in collaboration with music industry heavyweights: ‘Mutt’ Lange and John Parr. Indeed\, it was only a matter of time before Romeo’s Daughter hit the headlines! Hot on the heels of its success\, their whirlwind tour of the US saw their single\, ‘Don’t Break My Heart’ shoot up the US Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart.\n\nTheir dynamic and distinctive sound\, described as brimming with “poise\, pathos\, memorable melodic hooks and inventive arrangements” has been consistently\, and uniquely delivered over the years by: Leigh Matty (vocalist)\, Craig Joiner (guitarist\, songwriter and producer) and Andy Wells (drums). With this line-up\,  Romeo’s Daughter has a pedigree\, second to none; with each member having worked with the likes of: Whitney Houston\, Tom Jones\, Meatloaf\, Jane Wiedlin\, Bonnie Tyler\, Roxette and John Parr. They are delighted to be joined by Steve Drennan on Bass for their 30th Anniversary Tour in 2020 and 2021. \n\n\nOver the years\, their infectious music: brimming with power\, passion and sophistication – and fronted by Leigh Matty: recently voted in the top 5 ‘Lady Rock Singers of all time’ – has attracted the highest calibre of established artists; with Heart covering their single: ‘Wild Child’ on their 3 million sell-out album\, ‘Brigade’ – achieving No. 2 on the Billboard Rock All Play chart; as well as Eddie Money\, Bonnie Tyler\, and the recently reformed Steps! ‘Heaven in the Backseat’ – also from their debut album – also featured as the opening track of the 1990 film: ‘Nightmare on Elm Street 5’.\n\n30 years down the line\, Romeo’s Daughter is proud to present their 30th Anniversary Tour! With a fan base that never quit – even during their 16 year break\, from 1993-2009 – they returned to worldwide praise with the release of their album: ‘Rapture’ in 2012 receiving an appropriately rapturous reception! As one of Britain’s finest rock bands\, Romeo’s Daughter consistently perform to sell-out audiences and are one of the few bands of their generation who have come back better than the first time. \n\n  \n  \nMatt Pearce & The Mutiny \nLondon-based\, Glasgow-born\, Matt is an original member of the successful hard rock outfit Voodoo Six.

SUMMARY:The Roy Orbison Experience
DESCRIPTION:The Roy Orbison Experience performing the songbook of Roy Orbison\, including Pretty Woman\, Penny Arcade\, You Got It\, Only The Lonely\, I Drove All Night\, plus many more hits from his career. \nThe Roy Orbison Experience is a celebration of the music of Roy Orbison\, with the amazing vocal talent of Oliver Harris\, and with an excellent experienced fully live band of talented musicians. This is guaranteed to be an experience you won’t want to miss. This is not a look-a-like tribute act\, but rather a special live performance faithfully replicating the unique unrivaled sound of Roy Orbison. \n“Fabulous night. The Roy Orbison Experience were brilliant. It was like Roy Orbison was in the room with us. Thanks for a great night.” Elizebeth Atkinson \n“Fantastic night at the Little Theatre\, Hebden Bridge watching The Roy Orbison Experience\, the music was fabulous with all the favourites\, Pretty Woman\, Only the Lonely\, and so many more – as well as some Travelling Willburys – Oliver Harris was like having Roy Orbison with us\, such a brilliant voice and the band were great.” Lynn Worsnup \n“Incredible show at Gateshead!” Laura Fawcett \n“We had a ‘new for us’ band on here on 4th February\, who\, I have to say were absolutely brilliant – they are in my best 5 of all time ‘tribute’ bands and I do put on a lot of tributes. They are called ‘The Roy Orbison Experience’ They are a 5 piece band from South Yorkshire. They are also lovely guys to-boot. I have NEVER in all my time here\, had so many positive comments and requests to bring them back\, which I normally only do on an annual basis\, but I am trying to get these guys back in six months if we can fix a date. They received a standing ovation\, and the lead singer was on point with the voice of Roy Orbison\, who has a very distinctive voice and some customers said it was even better.” Jan Cottingham – Chapel Arts\, Bath

SUMMARY:Straighten Out at Wrecking Ball Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:STRAIGHTEN OUT are the world’s premier Stranglers tribute band with an extensive set-list that spans two solid hours as they re-create the ‘early years’ sound of The Stranglers\, complete with a Hammond organ and Minimoog synth; the same models used by Mr. Greenfield himself\, back in the day! \nThe growling bass sound and the quirky guitar riffs are all there to be heard as is the dual vocal ‘attack’ from the two frontmen a-la Burnel/Cornwell as they rip through the Stranglers’ classic: ‘Peaches’\, ‘Hanging Around’\, ‘No More Heroes’\, ‘5 Minutes’\, ‘The Raven’\, ‘Walk On By’\, ‘Straighten Out’\, ‘Down In The Sewer’ and many more as they cover the Stranglers’ early classic albums and beyond. \nStraighten Out will take you on a nostalgia trip that transports you back to those raw\, powerful\, exhilarating times when The Stranglers emerged through the quagmire of mediocrity to produce some of the finest music ever written. Straighten Out will put you back in that place! \nBassist Shaggy and keyboard player Mick (‘The Doc’) were together in previous Stranglers tribute band ‘Four More Heroes’ and it was only natural that these two continued on after their demise to form ‘Straighten Out’ given their love of Stranglers music and the desire to keep playing live. They set the platform with the growling bass and swirling keyboard sound so essential to reproducing the authentic Stranglers sound. Joining them are Jet ‘Beets’ Beety on drums and Phil Harvey steps up to give you the ‘Hugh’ element to complete the fearsome foursome. \nStraighten Out are a must-see tribute band!

SUMMARY:The Kris Drever Band at Wrecking Ball Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:One of Scotland’s finest and most acclaimed songwriters Kris Drever will tour with his own band (for the first time outside of his work with Lau) in 2023\, and to coincide Reveal Records will issue an expansive career spanning compilation album of Kris’ work to date. The new compilation album will also feature some exclusive new songs written and recorded for the band project. \nSince the release of his acclaimed 2020 album “Where The World Is Thin” Kris has been busy collaborating in the studio and playing major shows with Julie Fowlis\, Karine Polwart\, Sekou Keita and Jackie Morris for their Lost Spell Songs project (Thirty Tigers\, 2021)\, won yet another BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for Best Original Song\, won Album of The Year at the Scots Trad Music Award 2021\, duetted with Aoife O’Donovan and toured with Lau and Rachel Baiman. \nAbout the forthcoming tour Kris says\, \n“Collaboration has always been at the heart of my enjoyment of music. I love the freedom of heading out on my own; I love the challenge of trying to realise full arrangements with just a guitar and a vocal but\, for me\, nothing comes close to building those invisible cathedrals with my comrades. The excitement of real musical dialogue is overwhelming: the knowledge that something is happening in front of me that can’t ever be exactly replicated is fascinating and frankly\, even after 30 years as a musician\, miraculous. \nFor the last few years\, I’ve been working with a really special group of musicians\, mostly in the studio – although we have made it out into the light very occasionally to perform. \nIt’s time now\, though\, to share these wonderful people and the experiences they create with as wide an audience as possible\, because they’re fabulous. \nLouis Abbott is a multi-instrumentalist (drums\, guitars\, keys) and vocalist who is best known for his work as the front man of Scottish Indie collective Admiral Fallow; Euan Burton is my long time co-producer (studio adult) and absolutely stellar double bassist; and Rachel Lightbody is a highly prized Jazz singer who also excels in her work as a backing vocal artist. \nHaving gotten together increasingly frequently in recent times for various TV and online performances\, we’ve worked up a broad variety of my own material. We’ve found a route into songs from across my back catalogue\, and in many cases opened them up in ways that I could never have figured out on my own. The upshot of all this is that it’s time to take this fresh sound and retrospective collection on the road.” \nKris’s website\nhttps://www.krisdrever.com/ \nKris’s Twitter\nhttps://twitter.com/krisdrever

The first 2 were Rush.” \nMoving Pictures play for over two hours covering all the classics such as Tom Sawyer\, The Spirit of Radio and Xanadu (with doubleneck guitars) plus some deeper cuts such as By Tor and later belters such as Far Cry and Headlong Flight. \nFeaturing drummer Jamie Dunleavey — this young lady from St Andrews is scarily on point. \nIt takes a unique set of skills to sing AND play bass AND play keys like Geddy Lee — John Power is incredibly accurate. \nGuitarist Steve Brown is a lifelong Rush fan and pro player with way too many guitars and wicked sense of humour — not unlike Mr Lifeson! \nMoving Pictures are regularly on the bill at Rush fan conventions\, have recordings on all 3 Songs For Neil albums and have performed for and recorded with Rush producer Terry Brown.

They have become festival favorites\, consistently performing with some of the world’s biggest acts\, in a world seldom traveled by your typical “tribute” band. Black Sabbitch were hand-picked by Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne to open the inaugural Ozzfiesta and by Dave Grohl to play Cal Jam with Foo Fighters and Iggy Pop\, after which the FooFighters shared photos of Black Sabbitch saying “we were spellbound.” \nThey have played multiple headlining sets at Psycho Las Vegas and The Maryland Doom Fest and most recently were chosen by Paul Stanley to play The 2022 Kiss Kruise. Nick Zinner of The Yeah Yeah Yeahs chose Black Sabbitch to headline his curated festival Bedrocktoberfest and legendary street artist Shepard Fairey had Black Sabbitch open his Black Sabbath retrospective\, Never Say Die. Electroclash superstar Peaches recently sat in as lead vocalist with Black Sabbitch for a special two night run in Los Angeles.

SUMMARY:Deborah Bonham Band ‘Bonham-Bullick’ at Wrecking Ball Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:Deborah Bonham\, over the course of an impressive career\, has established herself as one of the finest Blues\, Rock and Soul singers that the UK has produced. A string of critically acclaimed original albums and captivating standing ovation concert performances (Royal Albert Hall\, London Palladium and on the extensive 2018 USA ‘Stars Align Tour’ with Paul Rodgers\, Jeff Beck and Ann Wilson of Heart) have consistently garnered rave reviews. \nBelfast born guitarist Peter Bullick\, lauded by the press for his passionate playing\, exudes his influences from the world’s greatest Blues Guitarists in every note.

Performances are soulful and moving.” Rolling Stone USA \n“Bonham is in fine voice throughout while Bullick’s Kossoff-inspired playing shows why Paul Rodgers values him so highly.” Blues In Britain \n“A contender for album of the year. It’s magnificent. Really loved every track.” Blues Matters \n“Powerfully produced and immaculately played album\, Bonham and Bullick do a fine job of making the songs their own.” Classic Rock \n“Bonham-Bullick is one heck of a ride from end to end and belongs on every short list of 2022’s most vital new releases. Don’t let it pass you by.” Rock and Blues Muse \n“Killer guitar tone from Bullick & soulful power from Deborah Bonham. Blues aficionados will love the new Bonham-Bullick record.” UAWIL/Pantheon USA \n“In the tradition of the great Blues-Rock of the 1970s while also being deeply entrenched in Classic Blues and Soul.” JJ French Connection USA \n“There are only a select few guitar players who can achieve the Paul Kossoff tone and it’s apparent from the first note of the new Bonham-Bullick album\, Peter Bullick summons Kossoff’s spellbinding style.” Irish News \n“Wow is all I got to say after that\, and boy can Deborah Bonham sing.” Johnnie Walker’s Rock Show BBC R2 \n“If David Bowie played the Blues\, it might’ve sounded something like this… ACE!” Cerys Matthews’ Blues Show BBC Radio 2 (‘It Ain’t Easy’ by Bonham-Bullick) \n“Deborah Bonham -The best female vocalist and tightest band we should have been hearing for the last 20 years. An arena worthy show in a New York club!”\nCarol Miller – ‘Get the Led Out’ Q104.3 FM USA \n“Top-flight Blues-Slingers deliver in style.
