TUE 19 JAN
ANAIS MITCHELL + ERIN McKEOWN
(Righteous Babe Records - Ani Di Franco - double-headline show) "Fearlessly emotive... Like Dylan, Cohen, and Welch, Mitchell weaves her stories into an effortlessly beautiful and cohesive tapestry with the skill of an artisan's carpenter, showing no seams." – Acoustic Guitar "In several distinctive ways - voice, dynamic subtlety, and sheer songwriting ability - Erin McKeown is in a class of her own."- Sunday Times

SUN 31 JAN
HAMEL (9-piece band)
+ LEDDRA CHAPMAN (recent guest for Roachford)
(See You Once Again - as heard on BBC iPlayer) Hamel's sound is unusual, a complex mixture of inspirations. One of his mentors was Jon Hendricks, American jazz legend, Hamel did workshops with him. He says "But at the same time I would like to listen to PJ Harvey, Jeff Buckley, Peggy Lee, who is very sexy and strict and melancholic, but I also like Prince and Carmen McRae."

SUN 07 FEB
JESCA HOOP
(toured with ELBOW & was TOM WAITS' nanny) (Album 'Hunting My Dress' out now on Last Laugh) "Like going swimming in a lake at night" TOM WAITS "By turns soulful & contemplative, spirited & witty, Hoop effortlessly shifts emotional gear, a striking ability to meld the traditional and the contemporary & her forceful, crystalline voice the constants" Time Out "Good enough to compare to the more wholesome elements of The White Album, Joanna Newsom's Ys and Elbow's quieter moments" (Guy Garvey sings on 'Murder of Birds') – The Guardian "So startlingly original, whose writing is so stamped with her personality and history. Hunting My Dress, confirms her as one of alternative folk-pop's most arresting recent arrivals, sings like an outcast angel and writes like a restless explorer" Culture – The Sunday Times
