Eduardo Niebla

In Concert

Kathryn Tickell Band

 

The most widely acknowledged icon of Northumbrian music joins forces with some of the UK’s most talented young musicians to present a band full of excitement and vitality.  Kathryn is the foremost exponent of the Northumbrian pipes, playing with Sting, The Chieftains, The Penguin Café Orchestra, Evelyn Glennie, Andy Sheppard and many others as well as releasing 14 of her own albums. She learned in the traditional way from old shepherd musicians in outlying hill farms in Northumberland. The concert features Kathryn’s own compositions, some from Peter Tickell, and as always the traditional tunes of Northumberland and the Borders are well represented. The Kathryn Tickell Band’s compelling performances have justifiably earned worldwide acclaim.

Alan Price Set

 

The name Alan Price immediately summons up some of the most memorable sounds in the last 40 years: from the Animals’ House Of The Rising Sun to his quirky take on Randy Newman’s Simon Smith And His Amazing Dancing Bear to his many hits with Georgie Fame, including the most famous Rosetta.  His induction into the Rock & Roll Hall Of Fame in 1994 was testimony to his achievements throughout his career in the music industry and sits well alongside his BAFTA award for the soundtrack of the highly acclaimed film O Lucky Man! in which he also appeared as ‘himself’.  Around the World he is readily acknowledged as one of the most talented and enduring musical artists to have emerged from the 1960’s British Beat Boom.

Steeleye Span

 

Pioneers of folk-rock, Steeleye Span changed the face of folk music forever, taking it from small clubs into the world of gold discs and international tours. Members have come and gone over the years, with past and present lineups virtually a who’s who of the British folk scene, but Steeleye has always remained and institution, at the forefront of the genre they helped define.  Steeleye Span 2011 finds Maddy Prior – the voice of Steeleye for 36 years back at the helm of a line-up featuring band stalwart and fiddler extraordinaire Peter Knight, Rick Kemp on bass, Peter Zorn on guitar and Liam Genockey on the drum stool.

Gandalf Murphy and the Slambovian Circus of Dreams

Playing an utterly unique blend of rock & roll, folk, and quirky Americana, Gandalf Murphy & the Slambovian Circus of Dreams have been called "the hillbilly Pink Floyd," which is an apt description, particularly if you throw in elements of Tom Petty & the Heartbreakers, the Band, and maybe even some Frank Zappa too. The band taps a broad palette of styles ranging from dusty Americana ballads to huge cinematic anthems. Known for electrifying live performances and a down-to-earth connection to audiences, the group delivers a quirky, versatile, and good-humoured show and has built a large and loyal fan following.

The Searchers

John McNally, Frank Allen, Spencer James & Scott Ottaway

 

With such classic hits as Sweets For My Sweet, Needles and Pins, Don’t Throw Your Love Away and When You Walk In The Room, The Searchers have contributed enormously in establishing the UK as the world’s leading nation in the music industry. No doubt the decade that gave us The Beatles, The Searchers and many others, was unique and pervades all cultural and age barriers today.  The Searchers continue touring the globe as much today as they have done throughout a fantastic career now remarkably spanning 5 decades. They have devised a ‘special’ solo concert, which will appeal to all ages. It is a highly entertaining concert which has been enthusiastically and warmly received throughout the world.
