   About americana-uk
Welcome to the Americana-uk MySpace site.

Our website (http://www.americana-uk.com) is still our main space on the internet and you can find album reviews, interviews, features, a forum and all the usual gubbins there, but we’ve finally dragged ourselves kicking and screaming into the social networking (ugh, horrible phrase) world as well.

What you’ll find here are some tracks from our current faves (these will change at least monthly), a snapshot of gigs happening in the next few weeks (check the main site for full details) and probably the odd provocative blog or three. If we get really competent in the future then who knows, there might be videos and all sorts making an appearance, but for the moment we’re just happy to be here and begging people to be our virtual friends.

Goose bumps, also called goose flesh, goose pimples, chill bumps, or the medical term cutis anserina, are the bumps on a person's skin at the base of body hairs which may involuntarily develop when a person is cold or experiences strong emotions such as fear or awe.

Picnic Club

18th June 2009 7.30pm at Fuel Bar - AMERICANA SPECIAL WITH BLIND RIVER SCARE, JAN BELL AND WILL SCOTT
Fuel Bar, Wilmslow Road, Withington, Manchester, M20
Adm: free

Acoustic showcase hosted by Picnic Area.

Our visiting stars are Blind River Scare, all the way from Newport, South Wales, making their second visit to Fuel as part of their national tour. This highly melodic Americana outfit have previously supported the likes of Mark Eitzel, Clem Snide and Midlake.

In a similar vein is Warrington’s country-influenced acoustic songwriter Ray Humphries.

Don’t miss Dave Tuxford - formerly folk and roots correspondent for the Manchester Evening News, he’ll keep you entertained with a mixture of traditional folk songs and witty asides!

And we’ve got 2 alt country star visitors from the USA - Jan Bell and Will Scott, all the way from bohemian Brooklyn (NYC’s answer to Edgeley). Jan’s CD "Songs for love drunk sinners" achieved the Independent Music Awards Alternative Country album of the year!

Hey there, I've just uplaoded a new song entitled 'To Make Amends', which I finished writing and recorded today. It's very personal so I hope that you can get past that and maybe understand, see, or even empathise with it. If not, I hope you enjoy listening to it, and if you can, leave me a little comment saying what you think.
Much love, Jonny.
