   About KONTRA ROOTS CLUB (& PROMOTIONS)
Kontra Roots Club presents quality acoustic roots music on the 2nd Friday of every month, and is held at Kennedy's Bar in the town of Finedon, on the A6 midway between Kettering and Wellingborough. (Kennedy's is adjacent to the sports ground, by the water tower to the south of the town).

The aim of the club is to provide a platform where the finest roots musicians in the East Midlands and beyond can showcase their talent to an appreciative audience. Each month features three established or up and coming acts drawn from many musical genres, including folk, blues, country, contemporary and world music. Slots last on average between 30-40 minutes.

Organized and hosted by roots musician and songwriter Kevin Buxton (see Top Friends below) the evening runs from 8.00 till 11.00 and admission is free. We provide a top quality PA, and our sound man, Geoff Bland, is one of the best in the county.

Kennedy's is an ideal venue for acoustic music, with a large, characterful function room, complete with stage, and Kontra Roots is dedicated to presenting stimulating and diverse musical entertainment. There's always a great atmosphere, so if you like fine acoustic music do come and join us.

For further information e-mail kev.buxton@ntlworld.com or send a myspace message. Acoustic artists interested in appearing at the club should first check out the FAQ blog for prospective performers, and please be aware that we are usually booked up for months in advance. For information about other Kontra Roots promotions, see the relevant blog. MySpace Layouts

What-ho, Kontraites!  Being one of the isolated beacons of culture in the vast, untapped darkness of the Midlands, you and yours might well fancy getting your hillbilly on at Sawyer's, Kettering on Sunday 11th October.  Quite apart from the liberalbilly thrills offered by CrackTown, Scottish blues-freak Dave Acari will be doing his "thang" as part of a benefit thrash aiming to save one of Kettering's genuinely vital music venues.  Come along: you'll do good, you'll feel good.
Keep it gangsta,
CrackTown

Before our jet-setting, champagne-and-fancy-crisps lifestyle takes us off to Northampton's Boiler Room @ The Labour club to enthrall and arouse those present with our low-rent acoustic liberalbilly antics on Saturday 12 September, there'll be just enough time for us to swing by your scene and dig on Mr Plow.  Heartily looking forward to it, too...
Keep it gangsta, and see y'all there,
CrackTown - seamlessly blending social savoire-faire with shameless self-promotion since 2003.
