Friday 23rd March: Dead Belgian London CD Launch
Dead Belgian are a Liverpool based group who play the music of Jacques Brel, a man widely regarded as one of the greatest songwriters of all time.
When they played the club last year they simply blew us away with a stunning performance of power, beauty and finesse. This is a special evening to mark the launch of their debut CD "Love & Death: The Songs of Jacques Brel".
Support comes from the beguiling Playing Rapunzel.
Admission is £8 and doors open at 8pm. Advance tickets are available from here.
5th February 2012: Leon Rosselson
One of the greatest songwriters in Folk, Leon has been writing state of the art songs for fifty years and continues to sing truth to power into the twenty first century.

12th February 2012 - Lucy Ward
Lucy has exploded onto the scene over the last year or so and blew us away on her last visit.
She's a superb songwriter and interpretor of traditional song, and a beguiling personality.
In a world of simpering nu-folk ninnys Lucy stands as an object lesson in how to make music that is gentle and beautiful but still has balls.
Admission £6 (£5 concessions) -
19th February 2012 - Rory McLeod
An awesome songwriter and breathtaking performer, this is a long overdue return from Rory.
"One of the most energetic and rhythmic performers on the circuit, a supreme storyteller in song and also an ace harmonica player. Plays a mean trombone, too." - Time Out
Admission £8 (£7 concessions) -
26th February 2012 - Jeff Davis
Jeff Davis is one of America’s most respected collectors and interpreters of traditional music.
An event with Jeff might include New England ballads sea songs, African-American banjo tunes, cowboy ditties, rare Yankee fiddle tunes and more.
Jeff plays fiddle, banjo, mandocello, guitar, spoons, jaw’s harps and a few instruments hand-made by folk craftsmen.
Gonna be great!
Admission £6 (£5 concessions) -
4th March 2012 - Duck Baker
Duck Baker is one of the most highly regarded fingerstyle guitarists of his generation. He is unique among jazz guitarists in that his repertoire spans the entire history of the music from ragtime through swing to modern masters like Thelonious Monk and Herbie Nichols to free improvisation.
If that wasn't enough tonight will also feature Mrs Duck - the lovely Irish traditional singer Helen Roche
Admission £6 (£5 concessions)
