SUMMARY:Katie Spencer & Henry Parker
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS :    Katie Spencer & Henry Parker – Sat Dec 20th 2025 8pm-10pm – Wrecking Ball Arts Centre \n\n‘Her articulate picking\, with suggestions of folk and jazz\, frames intelligently written songs’ – Guitarist\nMagazine\nRaised in the East Yorkshire flatlands on the fringes of Hull (UK)\, Katie Spencer’s landscape has always been\nthat of open skies and widening rivers. It is this sense of space and movement that flows through her assured\nguitar style and songwriting. Now\, as Katie steps into this new era with a third album\, her focus turns to those\ndeeper inner spaces\, inviting the listener to engage with her heartfelt and intricately-crafted songs.\nHer writing\, and most notably her guitar playing stems from a time when the steel-stringed instrument was\ntruly finding its voice. Artists like Joni Mitchell\, Judee Sill\, Julie Byrne and perhaps most evidently Michael\nChapman\, weave into her sound. Katie absorbs these influences into her songwriting and with her distinctive\ndeep vibrato and crystal-clear guitar style\, she makes the music inimitably her own.\nKatie will release her third album What Love Is in October 2025; an intimate collection of ten brand-new\nsongs produced by Matt Ingram (Laura Marling\, The Staves). Recorded in London’s Urchin Studios and\nfeaturing prominent players Giacomo Smith (clarinet)\, Max Clilverd (pedal steel)\, Tom Mason (double bass)\nand Matt Ingram (drums\, synth). What Love Is evokes the spirit of Joni Mitchell’s finest later works\, always\nhonouring without emulating. Lyrically mature and at times pastoral; the album is melodically sophisticated\nand unflinchingly honest. She moves effortlessly from wide-open jazz-tinged soundscapes\, influenced by\nPharoah Sanders and John Abercrombie\, through to the folk-baroque fingerpicking style that her fans admire\nher for. Her singing is powerful yet warm\, true and pristine in delivery. The musicianship throughout the record\nfeels liberated by Katie’s innovation and confidence\, and the result is a master-class of inspired and\nbeautiful-sounding craftmanship.\n‘… 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\nthreads her poetic lyrics through the guitar’s strings and produces tapestries of song.’ – Ralph McTell\nKatie has toured extensively and is a powerful and confident presence on stage\, delivering her finely-tuned\nmusic with humour and insight. It is often said that Katie draws audiences into her mesmerising and musically\narticulate world with gentle affection and care. Her impressive live touring schedule is testament to this\, and\nhas seen her headline some of the most prestigious venues in the UK\, including Portsmouth Cathedral and The\nTrades Club in Hebden Bridge\, and perform at many respected major folk festivals such as the world\nrenowned Celtic Connections and Cambridge Folk Festival. Her live history also features many overseas\nadventures including extensive tours in Europe and Australia (including Port Fairy Folk Festival). This year\nKatie continues to tour widely in the UK and Europe\, and was also invited to represent Britain and perform at\nthe prestigious Folk Alliance International in Montreal\, Canada. She recently became the owner and endorsee\nof a custom-built signature guitar\, specially crafted for her by distinguished luthier Tom Sands and is looking\nforward to taking this beautiful instrument out on the road in 2025.\nHer debut album Weather Beaten (2019) was praised for its “unique song-craft\, spell-binding musicianship\nand crystal sonic clarity\,” as she brought together fans of music from all backgrounds and walks of life. This\nwas followed by The Edge of the Land (2022)\, which reached #14 in the Official Folk Charts upon release.\nThis record also features Tom Mason on double bass\, with additional percussion and piano provided by Arran\nAhmun and Spencer Cozens\, musicians who developed their craft in the John Martyn band.\n‘One of the most satisfying and spellbinding singer-songwriter collections I’ve encountered in some time.’ –\nRnR Magazine\n‘A timeless English folk album…’ – Shindig! \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 native county of West Yorkshire. \nParker’s musical roots go back to a self appointed upbringing in prog-rock and metal. However\, enthralled at the age of 20 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. In 2023 he curated and recorded for American label Tompkins Square Records\, bringing together a tribute album to Michael Chapman\, one of his most important musical influences. \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\n

SUMMARY:Soft Machine
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS:  Soft Machine – Thursday Nov 20th 2025 8pm-10pm – Wrecking Ball Arts Centre \n  \nSoft Machine : One of the greatest UK avant/jazz-rock bands of all time. \nTheir work\, from their earliest performances as a psychedelic band who were contemporaries of\, and shared stages with\, Syd Barrett’s Pink Floyd and the Jimi Hendrix Experience\, all the way to being one of Europe’s best known ‘fusion’ groups\, has influenced several generations of bands\, and continues to be name-checked by today’s hip experimentalists. \nWhilst the line-up of Soft Machine may have changed many times since the heady days of the late 1960’s\, the band’s spirit of musical adventure\, and the ease with which it freely avoids being pigeon holed and can move from powerful progressive jazz fusion to atmospheric psychedelia to free improvised jazz-rock to ambient loop music continues to make it both unique and totally contemporary.

SUMMARY:Curved Air
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS :  CURVED AIR – SAT NOV 15TH 2025 8PM-10PM – Wrecking Ball Arts Centre \nCurved Air is a unique band\, synthesizing an eclectic blend of musical styles into an instantly\nidentifiable sound. Curved Air’s hits include “It Happened Today”\, “Vivaldi”\, “Marie Antoinette” and\n“Backstreet Luv”. Curved Air founder member vocalist Sonja Kristina leads a skilled and talented new\nline-up\, bringing their unique music to an existing and new fanbase in the 21st Century.\nCurved Air’s concerts and festival appearances continue to thrill a steadily increasing mass of new\nand old fans worldwide. Their experimental blends of classical themes\, electronic sounds and\npop/rock energy and beautiful\, timeless songs are performed with fire and passion and tremendous\nmusicianship.\nConsidered (according to AllMusic) “one of the most dramatically accomplished of all the bands\nlumped into Britain’s late-’60s prog explosion”\, Curved Air is a pioneering British progressive rock\ngroup of musicians from mixed artistic backgrounds.\nThey are famed for their unforgettable live performances and ‘Art Rock’ music – the quasi classical\nimprints of Terry Riley hooked onto beautiful and demonic violin combined with electronic\nadventurous synths and interwoven with brilliant guitar wizardry mesmerisingly embroidered by the\nsubliminal and exotic presence of a unique lead singer Sonja Kristina. All these elements elevated\nthem from the underground Roundhouse scene to top the album charts in the early ’70s.\nOn 12th November 2012\, much to the excitement of their fans and press worldwide\, a Live CD/DVD\ntitled ‘Live Atmosphere’ was released – ‘Songs of revolution\, insanity\, loss\, desire and ghosts: a\nunique compilation of powerful Curved Air songs played by a vital contemporary Curved Air’. This\nwas followed by the release of “North Star”\, the band’s first album of new material in 36 years.\nTestimonials:\n“CURVED AIR\, with a real band attitude and a zest for life; this is a band you want to see live for the\nsheer artistry of how to deliver the musical goods.” (Lee Dorian\, Classic Rock)\n“All of the players impress – some stunning new instrumentalists who immerse the audience in a set\nof swirling\, whirling solos that emphasize moods and nuances and floating waves of sound that act\nas a counterpoint to Sonja’s dramatic sense of theatricality”. (Classic Rock Society Magazine)\n“Sonja Kristina prowls the front of the stage expertly playing off the energy of all the performers\nwith her. There’s no denying they remain formidable live!” (Prog Magazine)\n“While women in UK progressive rock were relatively few and far between its Sonja that wore the\ncrown. Well the undisputed queen of British Prog is on tour again and what a joy it is to see her and  Curved Air back in action. The whole group of assembled musicians are perfectly qualified to recreate the band’s uniqueness authentically. Catch them while you can”. (Classic Rock)

Over the course of his life\, and since his death in 1993\, over one hundred official Zappa albums have been released\, alongside countless bootlegs. These range from 60’s psychedelia with the Mothers of Invention\, Jazz and Rock material tinged with Zappa’s own inimitable spin\, through to orchestral compositions performed by the London Symphony Orchestra\, among others.\nNavigating the vast Zappa oeuvre then is no mean feat\, but Scotland’s Pygmy Twylyte have embraced the challenge with gusto. Since their inception in 2018\, the band have selected a core body of classic material\, complemented with a rotating offering of more obscure cuts\, and blasted this to delighted audiences across the UK.\nNotable highlights have seen the band perform multiple shows at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe\, along with shows featuring Ben Thomas\, former vocalist and multi-instrumentalist of Zappa Plays Zappa\, the worldwide touring outfit fronted by Frank’s son Dweezil.\nIn July 2024\, Pygmy Twylyte topped the Friday night bill at the prestigious Zappanale Festival\, alongside Saturday headliners Gong. Zapppanale is the worlds longest running and biggest annual festival celebrating the music of Frank Zappa\, now in its 33rd year\, held in Bad Doberan on the Baltic Coast\, Germany.\nWith guitars\, keyboards\, saxes and multiple vocalists at their disposal\, the band has a (stink)foot planted in the camp of several of Zappa’s most memorable touring line-ups. Head down to nod along to rock numbers\, lose count during jazzy interludes (after all\, it’s not dead – it just smells funny) and evade the infamous Frunobulax!

SUMMARY:Heidi Talbot
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS :  Heidi Talbot – Tue Oct 21st 2025 7-30pm-10pm – Wrecking Ball Arts Centre\nHeidi Talbot celebrated 20 years as a professional singer in 2020 and released a compilation album featuring tracks from her last five solo albums.\nHer latest album ‘Sing it for a Lifetime’ was recorded during lockdown with some stellar musicians across several time zones. She has shared the stage and recorded with Mark Knopfler\, Graham Coxon (Blur)\, Idlewild\, King Creosote\, Tim O’ Brien and Jerry Douglas to name a few. Heidi has been nominated for folk singer of the year at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards and the Irish Music Awards.\nHeidi was born in Ireland\, became a folk star in the USA as a member of the Irish American band Cherish the Ladies\, and now lives in Edinburgh\, Scotland. With a background like that\, it’s hardly surprising she should develop a style that switches easily between Celtic and Americana but subtlety is Talbot’s magic ingredient. From her gossamer voice to the delicate re-working of traditional and contemporary material that has earned her rave reviews for her records and live performances. The girl from Co. Kildare\, who spent several years in New York\, slips effortlessly between musical worlds but retains a personal modesty rooted in traditional folk.\nOver the past twenty years Heidi has performed all over North and South America\, the United Kingdom\, Ireland\, Europe\, Scandinavia\, Japan\, Australia and New Zealand.

His high\,\nsoaring voice was immediately recognisable\, his style being based both in classic soul singers and\nin modern techniques that provided him an edge. It was with the second FYC album four years\nlater\, however\, that the band began to break internationally\, with “She Drives Me Crazy” being\nheard everywhere\, in movies\, on television\, on the radio.\nGift spent the earlier part of his life in Birmingham then Hull. He entered music first as a\nsaxophonist with punk band Blue Kitchen\, moving on from there to the Acrylic Victims\, eventually\njoining Andy Cox and David Steel after the disintegration of The Beat sent them in search of a\nvocalist.\nRecently Gift has written 2 plays and a monologue for the BBC’s radio 4. The monologue\,\nSparkhill\, recalls the area of Birmingham Roland was born and grew up in. The plays Return to\nVegas and A Punks Progress are inspired by his coming of age in Hull.\nGift’s professional career has taken him from stage to screen and back again\, as his fans around\nthe world await the release of next project.

SUMMARY:Emma King
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS Emma King Sat Oct 11th 2025 8pm-10pm – Wrecking Ball Arts Centre \nEmma King’s remarkable journey has already taken her from Northern England to Tennessee\, touring Europe and receiving 5-star album reviews along the way. \n​From the grass roots of Hull\, East Yorkshire and learning from her parent’s love of Fleetwood Mac & Elvis\, Emma developed the deep\, soulful Americana timbre that has now become a trademark of her sound. What made it even more impressive (and still does!) is how such a huge sounding voice comes from such a petite frame… \n 300+ gigs later and while still a teenager\, Emma’s calling became apparent when she spotted American legends like Johnny Cash & Willie Nelson on late-night TV and soon declared her musical future to be America’s homes of Rock ‘n’ Roll: Nashville & Memphis. For Emma\, she knew that musical growth meant travel\, and started to look outside of the city that had primed her for what was to come. Next stop\, Brighton… \n When Emma turned 17 she won a scholarship to the Brighton Institute of Modern Music awarded by Carleen Anderson (Brand New Heavies\, and God-Daughter of James Brown).  \n it was here that Emma King and The Heartsets was formed\, featuring Emma and 4 young musicians from Brighton\, all busting out Country-tinged Americana. After multiple tours to Germany\, and inspired by Emma’s ambition and plans to tour America\, the band followed suit and together they began self-funded trips to Nashville\, TN. The group’s instant likeability (and British accents!) eventually hit upon a management & record label team in PLC Records that took on and settled the whole gang in a traditional ‘band house’ in Manchester\, Tennessee\, heralding the start of a new adventure. Emma and the band went on a 5 year adventure that deserves a biography of its own one day \nIn between 21-hour drives touring up and down the Midwest\, Emma recorded at Sun Studios \,Memphis (home of Elvis and Rock n Roll’s earliest recordings); became a welcomed regular at Nashville’s legendary Bluebird Café; made herself at home in all of Nashville major studios; was the subject of a recording documentary project at Curb College of Music\, Daytona Beach\, FL.; she represented the UK at Nashville’s CMA International Show\, appeared on radio stations such as the famous WSM Radio (home of the Opry); she even found time to write and record with multi-award winning producers and engineers including Chas Sandford (Steve Nicks\, Chicago\, Bette Midler)\, Milan Bogdan (KC & The Sunshine Band and Jake Niceley(Alison Krauss) and to support acts such as Exile\, Jo De Messina\, Deanna Carter\, Old Dominion\, Thompson Square\, Rhonda Vincent\, Brett Michaels – as well as Toploader\, Sophie Ellis Bextor\, Colin Blunstone and The Drifters (in the UK).  \n Eventually\, Emma and co-writer/producer Ritch Spence moved back to the UK to release 2016’s eponymous debut album. The record received national radio play (BBC Radio 2 & BBC London)\, was an HMV recommended release\, and was supported by Abbey Road Studios (where it was mastered)\, BASCA\, BPI\, and Blues Magazine where Emma shared a covermount with artists such as Joe Bonnamassa.  \n\nNew music in 2025!​

SUMMARY:The Blow Monkeys
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS The Blow Monkeys – Thurs Oct 9th 2025 8pm-10pm – Wrecking Ball Arts Centre \nThe Blow Monkeys are unique with a career spanning over 40 years.  Always making new music\, always stretching\ntheir own musical boundaries.  With worldwide hits such as the classics ‘Digging Your Scene’ and ‘It Doesn’t Have\nTo Be This Way’\, they became household names but there was always so much more going on with these soulful\ntroubadours.\nTheir relentless desire to move forward\, to collaborate\, to be socially engaged and to have something to\ncontribute. Back in the 80’s they worked with people as varied as Curtis Mayfield\, Paul Weller\, Cheb Khaled and\neven Jamaican Toaster EEK-a-Mouse!  “No band since The Clash in their early 80’s heyday had attempted to act\nas a sounding board for such politically engaged\, eclectic music”\nDr Robert even took time out to release one of the UK’s first homegrown “house’”.records ‘Wait”’ his top 5 duet\nwith Chicago soul diva Kym Maselle.\nAnd so the journey continues.  Reformed in 2008 The Blow Monkeys have been incredibly productive releasing\nnine new albums and playing hundreds of concerts.\nAnd now in the Summer of 2024 comes a sparkling new album ‘Birdsong’ on Alan McGee’s ‘Creation Youth’\nlabel.\n“I had a chance meeting with Alan at Youth‘s studio up here in the mountains near Granada and he asked me to\nwrite and record a “brilliant Blow Monkey record“.  I knew what he meant.  The songs just poured out almost\nwithout effort which is always a good sign..  Its a very ‘up’ record … deliberately so.”  Says Robert.\n“They just recorded an album at Paul Wellers studio and it is as good as anything Dr Robert did back in the day.”\nSays McGee “What is unique about Blow Monkeys is bar the drummer are all original members.  Next year we\ntour in Australia then the UK and Europe and release the album we just recorded on Creation Youth.  I love this\nband!“\nThese Monkeys continue to evolve. From their beginnings on the underground club scene right through to their\nappearance  on the biggest selling soundtrack of all time “Dirty Dancing” (You Don’t Own Me) and beyond.  Long may\nthey swing.

SUMMARY:John McKay’s Reactor
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS :    John McKay’s Reactor – Sat Sept 27th 2025 8pm-10pm – Wrecking Ball Arts Centre \n  \n\nThe Scream\, the debut album from Siouxsie & the Banshees\, was released\nlate enough in the punk era to bear some claim as the first post-punk\nalbum\, with only minor traces of ‘punk’ and enough hints of what had\ncome even earlier to feel utterly new.\n\n\nSiouxsie was clearly the focus of the band\, but the sonic dynamo was\nJohn McKay\, composer of most of the album’s music and hit singles\, such\nas Hong Kong Garden\, while simultaneously creating a wholly new guitar\nsound that was harsh and brittle\, yet melodically intoxicating\, best\narticulated by a confounded Steve Albini many years later\, “. . . only\nnow people are trying to copy it\, and even now nobody understands how\nthat guitar player got all that pointless noise to stick together as\nsongs”.\n\n\nMany of the most influential guitarists of the past four decades\ncredited John as a major influence\, including Geordie from Killing Joke\,\nJim Reid of The Jesus And Mary Chain\, U2’s The Edge\, Thurston Moore\,\nJohnny Marr\,and even the two guitarists who followed him into The\nBanshees – The Cure’s Robert Smith and Magazine’s John McGeoch.\n\n\nMcKay’s burgeoning status as the anti-guitar hero came to a sudden halt\nwhen he and Banshees drummer Kenny Morris – at artistic odds with\nSiouxsie\, bassist Steve Severin and manager Nils Stevenson – fled the\nband just after the start of a tour in support of the group’s second\nalbum\, Join Hands.\nIt became a major music paper scandal and eventually the subject of a\nBBC documentary\, with Siouxsie’s vitriol at the situation working its\nway into the lyrics of a later Banshees b-side\, ‘Drop Dead /\nCelebration’.\n\n\nAside from a solitary single on Marc Riley’s In Tape label some years\nlater\, McKay went silent.\n\n\nSo\, it is a revelation for many to learn that numerous excellent\nrecordings were made by McKay in the immediate years following his\nabrupt departure from The Banshees.\n\n\nUnheard by all but a very few\, featuring drummer Kenny Morris\, Mick\nAllen from Rema Rema\, Matthew Seligman of the Soft Boys\, longer-term\ncollaborator Graham Dowdall (Nico / Ludus) and John’s wife\, Linda… the\nlatter three of whom are now all sadly deceased.\n\n\nSixes And Sevens is an historic lost album bearing fair claim as the\nlost treasure of the post-punk era\, the album collects eleven compelling\nstudio tracks. A prelude to the great surprise of John’s return to live\nperformance\, with a fresh new band and a number of live shows in the\noffing. John McKay’s Reactor will feature the lad ‘imself on guitar\, Jen\nBrown (The Priscillas) on vocals\, Jola (Adam & The Ants\, The Priscillas)\non drums\, and Billy King on bass.
