*Chapman has cancelled this event and it
will be headlined by Ian Britt*
Ian Britt is a well respected Singer/Songwriter from Sheffield,
England
Born in Sheffield and moving on after a colourful youth & adolescence,
Ian fled his roots to study music in the notoriously musical
city of
Manchester, He signed to the independent label Jalapeno Records
in London in 2005 while making himself a name locally as
an acoustic
singer-songwriter.
A debut album was recorded in 2005 with a duo of dance/breaks
producers and on release was met with a positive and encouraging
reaction from national/regional press/radio. The album "One
Day I" culminated in a grand and commandingly produced
soulful, Trans-Atlantic sound with mature, honest, sometimes
humorous lyrical writing, assured technical ability and a
keen melodic pop-rock-radio sensibility.
Ian Britt is a must see for 2008. Everywhere he goes he
succeeds in capturing peoples' hearts with his accessible
music which he shares
with his audience as a true troubadour.
Risa Hall pre- NY gigs, Mike Dignam, a very young gifted
player who is making waves. Also featuring Ian Bailey and
Marwood.

Rachael Kichenside - ".. the sweet meander
of Rachael's voice, caught as it is between a summers day and
a smoky night, it somehow makes sense. Beautifully lazy, lazily
beautiful whichever way you look at it, its a winner."Special
independence day weekend show featuring special international guests.
Emil Brynge, from Sweden has been compared to a modern Nick
Drake with his haunting resonant music. Risa returns from a
triumpant tour in New York where she rocked the house. Paul
Thornton, in his solo spot, spoils us with his intricate picking
in classical, country and ragtime styles.

Sister on Friday. How nice to see a venue where fringe theatre
is flourishing in Manchester.
It was lovely to see Catia's interpretation of Ugly Sister
and it was a most enjoyable performance and a most enjoyable
evening. Please can we have some more?”
