Gig Sat 5th Dec Dan Wilde and Vashti Anna
Posted by Richard on November 23, 2015
Sat 05/12/15 Dan Wilde 
and Vashti Anna 
both returning artists, a measure in which they are both held; awesome.
“Absolutely Stunning” said veteran BBC Radio 2 presenter Janice Long and “A touch of class” The independent review, Glastonbury. One of the music industries best kept secrets, Vashti Anna has a reputation for mesmerizing live audiences with her beautifully soaring, haunting style. She is a natural performer; she brings refreshingly honest and emotionally driven themes to her music. Born into Musical royalty with two award winning older brothers (Tom Baxter & Charlie Winston) having set the tone for her career, Vashti’s performing began on the piano at the age of 6 in the Suffolk hotel where she and her brothers grew up. Constantly surrounded by talented performers, Vashti honed her skills amongst a strong network of like minded talent which lead to her recording, touring and promoting her own nights with artists Ed Sheeran, Nick Mulvey, Tom Baxter, Charlie Winston, Hank Wangford, Beth Rowley, Sam Semple, Jamie Lawson to name just a few – as well as continually recording her own music…since when, she’s added motherhood to her repertoire as well…
Dan Wilde first appeared on our stage almost two years ago, and travels extensively. Dan has been performing his own brand of richly observant folk both in the UK and around the world for the past five years. And in that time, he’s developed a growing fan-base and a reputation amongst those who know as “a fantastic songwriting talent who without a doubt will deserve and demand your attention”
Gig 12/12/15 Jasmine Rodgers & Jazz Morley
Posted by Richard on November 23, 2015
Jazz Morley WE LOVE HER:
“Haunting vocals, oozing with the pain of heartache and beautifully humble production make Jazz’s records an enthralling listen. A storming live presence leaves no excuse to miss the experience of seeing her live.” Music Week
“She produces rich, powerful, emotive tunes that hush the atmosphere ’til everyone’s too scared to breathe in case it breaks the spell.” The Huffington Post
“Haunting and soulful singer songwriter ” Time Out, London. You can follow Jazz on Spotify for new music and playlists.https://open.spotify.com/artist/3oRBiqxwxW8BYQdWYtktZo
Jasmine Rodgers…what can I say…we love her, she’s played here for many a year now….she is very special …‘her grassroots music reflected both quality composition and ease of delivery. It was a pleasure to hear the song ‘Seamless’ from her eponymously titled 2010 solo album performed live. Jasmine offers a distinctive blend of touching melodic material, executed with ethereal musical beauty. The notable set highlight was the melancholy ‘Drinking’, a song she has also performed with dad Paul Rodgers and brother Steve’. Did I tell you? She’s from Rock Royalty..daughter to Paul Rodgers of Free and Bad company..and this life long exposure to music shines out of Jasmine like a bright light….and NOW…she’s bringing a new album…years in the making and now its here…so be sure to witness it’s second outing following a star studded SOLD OUT ALBUM launch party…which I’m going to!
Sat 19/12/15 Kezia & Three Pilgrims
Posted by Richard on November 23, 2015
: I hear exciting things about this girl. ‘Kezia stopped me in my tracks. She has a truly beautiful voice, like Anne Briggs but Cornish’ said Neil Halstead ..and “I think she is exceptional – one of the most original and exciting artists to come out of Cornwall” no less than Ralph McTell! 
Kezia is a singer/songwriter who’s sound drifts between folk and blues with a tinge of country. Her lyric based songs are accompanied by thoughtful melodies on the guitar and piano. Kezia’s mature voice sings heartfelt lyrics of matters that many can relate to, conveying a certain melancholy that is heard throughout her music. & Three Pilgrims
Our favourite party people whom we love so much have already played three times this year…it’s like the Traveling Wilberies ..musicians whom have formed bringing all their combined talent, experience and beautiful sounds in a new band.

Gig 21st Nov: Hattie Briggs-Henry Fraser& George Corby
Posted by Richard on November 19, 2015
Sat 21/11/2015 Hattie Briggs 
& 
Henry Fraser
I am eagerly awaiting the return of these two artists. They performed here in June 2015 (see this gig) Hattie Briggs is a Gloucestershire based singer-songwriter and BBC Radio 2 Young Folk Award Nominee 2014. The 22 year-old quit Oxford University in the 2nd year of her Russian degree to concentrate on her musical career in January 2014. Since then, her music has been played on TV, on BBC Radio 1, 2 and 6Music as well as many regional BBC radio stations. She released her debut album ‘Red & Gold’ on 6th April 2015 with a single ‘A Beautiful Mind’ on the same day. The album includes a cover of Eva Cassidy’s version of ‘Fields Of Gold’, produced by Eva’s brother, Dan Cassidy, who also plays a violin solo on the record. (Click here to go to the dedicated ‘Red & Gold’ page where you can read the latest reviews including Q magazine, the Maverick & R2, and order the album.)Henry Fraser An Australian, now based in London, Henry loves to play with different genres and sounds. Henry launched his first solo EP, “Quickly” in March 2012. “Quickly”, takes a distinctly folk bent. It is a cosy little thing, full of pretty tunes and layered harmonies. Henry’s eclectic musical upbringing includes a mix of self-taught instruments and classical singing, and he reflects this blend of simplicity and sophistication in his songwriting. An arresting, intense performer, Henry’s regular appearances in Sydney, London and Oxford have gathered him a loyal and growing fan base. Henry began playing duo sets with Hattie in mid 2013 and features on 3 tracks of Hattie’s debut EP, “My Shepherd’s Hut.” Henry now plays with Hattie and Asha at many of the gigs all around the UK and features on the new album.
