Upcoming live music

Mr Bennett

Friday, 5 September 2008
Ticket price: 
£6
Doors: 
8pm

Never a fan of change for the sake of it, Mr Bennett still does what he always did; "I write songs then I sing em"... An often heard remark that paints a good enough picture of a minimalist mutineer. For over twenty five years he's been taking his stand and deliver performance to audiences all over the world. Simple melodies and hard won lyrics have earned loyal fans and kept Mr B in constant comparison with Lou Reed, Leonard Cohen and Bob Dylan. though Bennett cites his main influences as Mississippi John Hurt, JJ Cale and Reverend Gary Davis. ..."

About Jim Moray

"a word-of-mouth sensation...the biggest leap forward in folk for 30 years" - Neil McCormack, Daily Telegraph.


"the most significant musician since Bob Dylan to decide that the folk idiom is the perfect vehicle for his musical adventures and experiments." - Bruce Elder, Sydney Morning Herald.

"Irritatingly young, handsome and talented, Jim Moray is the poster boy of what will probably become known as nu folk." - The Independent

"The 21 year old singer-musician from Birmingham is threatening to do for the folk world what Nigel Kennedy did for classical music." David Sinclair, The Times

"Impassioned folk songs...with an unnerving confidence and Brit Pop swagger." Sydney Morning Herald

"This is where the folk tradition turns left and hits the mainstream" The Independent On Sunday

Jim's third album Low Culture will be released on July 14th 2008, following the award winning Sweet England (2003) and Jim Moray (2006).

Liz Green

"Escapist pop. repressed jazz." is how Liz would describe herself. She has hit everyone’s ‘one to watch’ radars from the Observer Music Monthly to Zane Lowe on Radio One. Added to this, after gracing the Mojo BBQ at this year’s SXSW, Liz impressed so much that the magazine listed her number one in their top ten acts to watch this year.
