On the following Sunday (10th) Jane Taylor returns with a one-off special show with the JT Band to celebrate some new songs. ‘A very, very talented artist ‘(Bob Harris BBC Radio 2). ‘Classic, timeless songwriting…A quintessentially English gem’ (Time Out), ‘Truly beautiful music’ (Johnnie Walker). If you haven’t seen her before she is worth checking out. www.janetaylor.co.uk/
If Jane Taylor is not for you, then the following evening (Mon 11th) Fans of Jaques Brel are sure to enjoy Dead Belgian. The Word says it best “Alternating between French and English, singer Fionnuala Dorrity sings the songs as Brel did – coquettish during ‘Madeleine’, passionate in ‘Ne Me Quitte Pas’ and tortured in ‘Au Suivant’. Highlight of the set though was the concluding ‘Le Moribond’, a rousing and upbeat version which will cast out memories of Terry Jacks and Westlife forever.” www.deadbelgian.com
The following week sees Wreckless Eric and Amy Rigby on Sun 17th “…like golden honey poured over a battered old tube amp.” (Los Angeles Times); the amazing Steve Tilston on Mon 18th who is still blowing them all away after 40 years in the business; and Cara Luft on Tue 19th “the perfect blend of lightness and gutsy rock chick” (POPMATTERS). .
