Lucy Kaplansky - Top US Singer (don't miss this one!)
Date: 07 October 2009
She started out singing in Chicago bars. Then, barely out of high school, Lucy Kaplansky took off for New York City. There she found a fertile community of songwriters and performers—Suzanne Vega, John Gorka, Bill Morrissey, Cliff Eberhardt, and others—where she fit right in. With a beautiful flair for harmony, Lucy was everyone's favorite singing partner, but most often she found herself singing as a duo with Shawn Colvin. People envisioned big things for them; in fact, The New York Times said it was "easy to predict stardom for her." Lucy temporarily left the musical fast track to pursue a doctorate in Psychology and open her own private practice, although she continued to sing. Lucy was often pulled back into the studio by her friends (who now had contracts with record labels), wanting her to sing on their albums. Now, after returning to recording and performing full-time, Kaplansky's voice continues to remain in high demand by her peers. She harmonized on Colvin's Grammy-winning Steady On, on Nanci Griffith's Lone Star State of Mind and Little Love Affairs, and on four of John Gorka's albums. She also landed soundtrack credits, singing with Suzanne Vega on Pretty in Pink and with Griffith on The Firm, and several commercial credits as well—including "The Heartbeat of America" for Chevrolet. She can also be heard on the Greg Brown tribute album Going Driftless (also featuring: Ani DiFranco, Iris Dement, Mary Chapin Carpenter, Gillian Welch, Eliza Gilkyson, and others). She teamed with Dar Williams and Richard Shindell to form the supergroup Cry Cry Cry, the three choosing to celebrate the amazing revitalization in contemporary songwriting. The resulting album, Cry Cry Cry (which The New Yorker dubbed "a collection of lovely harmonizing and pure emotion," and to which Entertainment Weekly gave an "A" rating), has been an astonishing success in stores and on radio. A national tour of sold-out concerts by the trio served to introduce Lucy's luminous voice to a new expanse of eager listeners.Lucy's The Red Thread followed the commercial and critical hit "Every Single Day" (released on 9/11/2001) and marked Lucy's tenth year(and fifth album) on Red House Records. The Red Thread's beautiful production was made evident with harmony vocals by Jonatha Brooke,Richard Shindell, Eliza Gilkyson and John Gorka, production and drums by Ben Wittman (The Story), guitarists Duke Levine (Mary Chapin Carpenter) and Jon Herington (Steely Dan), bass player Zev Katz (Bryan Ferry, Roxy Music, Rosanne Cash), and others. In 2005, Red House re-released her debut album The Tide, re-mastered and with two previously unreleased tracks—Jesse Winchester's "Everybody Knows But Me" and The Beatles' "I've Just Seen a Face." Lucy's rising popularity has led to appearances on the CBS Morning Show, NPR's Weekend and Morning Editions, Mountain Stage, West Coast Live, Acoustic Cafe, and Vin Scelsa's Idiot's Delight. Lucy also contributed her story to a unique new book, SOLO: Women Singer-Songwriters in Their Own Words, which includes some of the best known women on the music scene today including Ani DiFranco, Shawn Colvin, Sheryl Crow, Jewel, and Sarah McLachlan. She was also featured in Lipshtick, a collection of essays by NPR commentator Gwen Macsai. Released in 2007, Lucy's album Over the Hills is a collection of songs that explore love and the dark, winding road that leads us there. Her new life as a mother has not hindered her musical life but has enhanced it, deepening the emotional depth of her songwriting. Lucy continues to tour extensively across North America, reminding audiences why she has been hailed as "a truly gifted performer…full of enchantingsongs" (The New Yorker).

Nine Below Zero (Electric) - UK's Top R&B band ONLY SCOTTISH DATES
Date: 24 October 2009 to 25 October 2009
A powerful and exciting UK R&B band which first emerged in south London in 1977, Nine Below Zero took its name from a song by Sonny Boy "Rice Miller" Williamson and was led by guitarist/singer Dennis Greaves (b. 23 July 1957, London, England) and virtuoso harmonica player Mark Feltham (b. 1960, London, England). With Peter Clark (bass/vocals) and Kenny Bradley (drums), Feltham recorded the EP Packed Fair And Square (1979). This led to a recording contract with A&M Records and a live recording at London's Marquee Club where Nine Below Zero had a residency. The producer was Glyn Johns. With Stix Burkey replacing Bradley, the second album included some original songs while Third Degree was a minor UK hit. The band dissolved in the mid-80s as Feltham concentrated on session work and Greaves went on to a solo career and became a member of the Truth. Feltham revived Nine Below Zero at the end of the decade, signing a new recording contract with the China label. In the mid-90s they returned to A&M when roots blues was experiencing a small rebirth, but by the end of the decade they had settled down with Indigo, a small specialist blues label better suited to their particular aspirations. The band is excellent in a live setting, and continues to work in the UK and Europe at festivals and small clubs. The recent line-up featured the ever-present Greaves together with Billy "Boy" Miskimmin (harmonica), and the rhythm section who worked with the late Rory Gallagher, Gerry McAvoy (bass) and Brendan O'Neill (drums).

Classic Clapton- The BEST Clapton Tribute!
Date: 07 November 2009
Eric Clapton has been a major international star since the mid 1960's, when he revolutionised electric guitar playing, with his virtuoso performances in John Mayall's Bluesbreakers. He has won an incredible 19 Grammies and is the only triple inductee into The Rock & Roll Hall of Fame (as a member of both The Yardbirds and Cream and also as a solo artist). The band was formed in 1985 in Newcastle upon Tyne long before the term "tribute band" was invented, and named themselves ''After Midnight'' after Eric Clapton's first solo hit. Their ability to re-create Clapton's electrifying stage performances, really caught the audience's imagination. In guitar/vocalist Mike Hall, the band possesses a front man who not only looks like Eric, he sings and plays guitar like him too! Mike has met Slowhand twice, and even received a message of encouragement from the guitar maestro (written on a Concorde menu). TYNE TEES TELEVISION were so impressed by After Midnight that they made a programme about them, called 'COVER THEIR TRACKS'. They filmed the band's concert at Newcastle Opera House, in front of nearly 600 ecstatic fans. It was shown in August 2000 and received rave reviews, leading to national recognition for the band. In 2001 they embarked on an extensive tour of UK Theatres. When the band started playing outside Newcastle, they had to think of a name for the show which was easily recognisable by people in other regions, who perhaps had not heard EC's hit record "After Midnight". They called the tribute show "CLASSIC CLAPTON". The band have toured regularly ever

Martyn Joseph - "The Welsh Springsteen"
Date: 14 November 2009 to 15 November 2009
Shades of Springsteen, Knopfler and Dave Matthews there may be - but Martyn Joseph is a performer like no other, both “courageous and compelling” according to a recent 4 star MoJo review. One of acoustic music’s most arresting artists, the Welsh singer songwriter has been in demand on both sides of the Atlantic for over two decades, notching up a string of top 50 hits (including Dolphins Make Me Cry and Please Sir), touring with the likes of Art Garfunkel and Jools Holland and winning fans everywhere with his uncanny fusion of material –feisty, pull no punches big issue numbers alongside stripped bare love songs. Voted Best Male Artist at the 2004 BBC Welsh Music Awards and often dubbed “the Welsh Springsteen” he’s a mean guitar player with one of the most powerful voices on the circuit crafting songs with, as Bob Harris put it, “outstanding lyrical intelligence”. This tour will feature Martyn breathing fresh life into material from the length and breadth of his career, some songs being very familiar to his audience and others not so familiar, but all with “a depth, resonance and emotional punch which belies comparison” (Q Magazine). It promises to be a roller coaster performance of true light and shade…with a touch of wry humour thrown in for good measure. Always charming, sometimes alarming, Martyn Joseph is a unique songwriter who digs deep and delivers an ultimate, life affirming message. One of the most unusual and compelling performers you are likely to encounter.

Paul Jones & Dave Kelly
Date: 22 January 2010
These long standing co-vocalists with The Blues Band get a big buzz out of taking things down a level, simplifying the music a little, and plying their trade as a duo, thus imbuing their very own personal and individual approaches to a dynamic, rootsy and exhilarating set of Country Blues. Venues large and small have been hushed and then enraptured by the sense of ‘old times’ in the Mississippi Delta. PAUL JONES vocals and harmonica Paul’s career is well charted …. heartthrob singer with Manfred Mann in the '60s, solo hits, songwriting, film and theatre success .… a thrillingly varied and successful career. Apart from his live work with The Blues Band and The Manfreds, he is also currently well known and respected for his work as a DJ, presenting BBC Radio 2’s Rhythm and Blues show and his Jazz FM programmes. Paul’s feeling for his music and masterfully soulful harmonica playing has kept him at the top of his field in session work …. with countless performances recorded for TV/cinema soundtracks and radio publicity campaigns. He’s been voted top male vocalist by The British Blues Connection and in 1994 was presented with a special award for ‘services to the blues’. In 2001 Paul was the guest of honour on This Is Your Life – an opportunity to recall and celebrate his many successful years in the entertainment industry. (For more on Paul see The Blues Band). DAVE KELLY vocals and guitar Dave followed his very talented sister, Jo Ann Kelly, into the world of professional music in 1966 …. they’d previously been regular winners of every talent contest they could get their names down for - on their annual Warners Summer Holiday Camps, playing Everly Brothers hits and early Rock ‘n’ Roll. London’s frenetically hip, yet cool, culture at that time made it seem natural that Dave’s path would cross with the those of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Son House, Buddy Guy …. to name a few. Sometimes the meetings were casual but ultimately Dave has played with all of them and toured with Wolf and Hooker. Over the years he’s achieved many accolades for his guitar work and vocals. He was voted Acoustic Artist of the Year in 1992, '94, '96, '97 and '98 by the British Blues Connection. Dave’s performances can get you rocking, or dreaming, and can even hit the tear ducts! He performs it – you feel it. His work has taken him all over the world – and with travelling being one of his other major interests …. he’s a happy man. So he really does have to dig deep inside on some of those old blues standards, but he achieves it every time. Soulful implies a different genre but in Dave’s case that’s where the music comes from, playing his guitar and singing the blues the way he feels it. (For more on Dave see The Blues Band and The Dave Kelly Band).

Paul’s feeling for his music and masterfully soulful harmonica playing has kept him at the top of his field in session work …. with countless performances recorded for TV/cinema soundtracks and radio publicity campaigns. He’s been voted top male vocalist by The British Blues Connection and in 1994 was presented with a special award for ‘services to the blues’. In 2001 Paul was the guest of honour on This Is Your Life – an opportunity to recall and celebrate his many successful years in the entertainment industry. (For more on Paul see The Blues Band). DAVE KELLY vocals and guitar Dave followed his very talented sister, Jo Ann Kelly, into the world of professional music in 1966 …. they’d previously been regular winners of every talent contest they could get their names down for - on their annual Warners Summer Holiday Camps, playing Everly Brothers hits and early Rock ‘n’ Roll. London’s frenetically hip, yet cool, culture at that time made it seem natural that Dave’s path would cross with the those of Muddy Waters, Howlin' Wolf, John Lee Hooker, Son House, Buddy Guy …. to name a few. Sometimes the meetings were casual but ultimately Dave has played with all of them and toured with Wolf and Hooker. Over the years he’s achieved many accolades for his guitar work and vocals. He was voted Acoustic Artist of the Year in 1992, '94, '96, '97 and '98 by the British Blues Connection. Dave’s performances can get you rocking, or dreaming, and can even hit the tear ducts! He performs it – you feel it. His work has taken him all over the world – and with travelling being one of his other major interests …. he’s a happy man. So he really does have to dig deep inside on some of those old blues standards, but he achieves it every time. Soulful implies a different genre but in Dave’s case that’s where the music comes from, playing his guitar and singing the blues the way he feels it. (For more on Dave see The Blues Band and The Dave Kelly Band).
