Sat 18/07/2015              Mim Grey  & Garath Dunlop 
When Sir Tom Jones said “She’s My favourite singer”  and Michael Ball  “the most beautiful voice to come out of the UK in a very long time” you will know we’ve done it again… another evening of World Class entertainment. Robert Elms of BBC Radio London added “She’s rather good & rather gorgeous but don’t let that influence you!”  Mim evokes the  sounds of James Taylor, Joni Mitchell or Shania Twain  but conjures up a life lived through high-heeled boots, blue jeans, curling tongs, late nights and love lost and found. Support comes from  Gareth Dunlop, 25 born and raised in Belfast, Northern Ireland, Gareth was hailed “One to Watch”  by BBC Radio Ulster. Has opened for Jeff Beck, Jools Holland, Nanci Griffith, Angus & Julia Stone, Paul Carrack, The Steeldrivers, Imelda May and more; his songs have been featured in numerous hit television series including Cougar Town,” “One Tree Hill,” “Private Practice,” “Army Wives,“Life Unexpected,” and more Young Songwriter of the Year at the Annual Belfast Nashville Songwriters Festival.

Sat 01/08/2015              Jon Kenzie       Big Sixes   Jon is a full-time professional musician whom I met at Glastonbury almost twelve years ago. It took a further seven years to organise a date here, and he was just awesome. He sings the blues in a way few can connect at such a soulful level. His smokey gritty voice along with his own original music, creates his unique and definitive sound.  This is a welcome return for the Big Sixes..local lads whose music plays here every day. The evening will open with a short set from Harry Phillips.
