Songs for the Bath Tub - acoustic nights in Manchester
*** I'm really sorry to all bands and acts who have contacted us over the last 3 months. I got really overloaded with myspace and have been behind on reading messages. I've been organising a lot of stuff through my own myspace (myspace.com/tomkerswill) too. I'm going to be trawling through all messages over the next 2-3 weeks so you should eventually receive an email from us. We do listen to everything eventually, but sometimes time's a bit too short to get to things as quickly as we'd like. Sorry!

Happy New year! We have loads of exciting stuff coming up over the next few weeks, including a new night, in association with exr, starting every Thursday at the Carlton Club, Whalley Range, from 17th January onwards....We're also running shows every two weeks, on Wednesdays, at Trof in Fallowfield!
We sometimes do shows at Kro Bar and the lovely Fuel Café Bar too - so keep a look out for those, or let us know your email address if you'd like to keep in touch regularly!
Denis Jones kicks off 2010 with his biggest show to date - and this will be a really special one, featuring a multi-screen, multi-camera AV setup by WASP Video, and showcasing tracks from his now completed second album, available soon...

This is an unmissable show! After the rave reviews of Sam Amidon's last show in Manchester, where, in league with Red Deer Club, we arranged for Sam to play at the Unitarian Chapel with a string quartet, we couldn't wait for the opportunity to bring him back. Since that time, his album All is Well has been critically lauded and the media have finally caught on to the New Yorker's immense talent.
Incredibly, the opportunity that has arisen includes a touring party from Sam's Icelandic label, Bedroom Community. Sam will be performing with a six-piece band, including legendary producer and Bedroom Community chief, Valgeir Sigurðsson.
And if that isn't enough for you, Valgeir will also be performing tracks from his own album, Ekvílibríum, a critically lauded masterpiece of electronica-laced folk.
To cap it all, the night will be kicked off by support from Manchester's own acoustic-electronica maestro, Denis Jones; having waited two years to play in this wonderful venue, he will be playing his fourth show here inside two months, after support for Jack Rose, Phosphorescent and Chris Corsano.
Hedge presents the legendary Peter Walker with support from John Fairhurst and Olivia Moore Friday 25th April, 8pm St Margarets Church, Whalley Range, Manchester, M16 8AE
Finally touring again after nearly 40 years of quietly working damn hard on his playing, Peter Walker comes to Manchester. Truly a Godfather psyche raga flamenco and folk. He studied with Ravi Shankar and Ali Akhbar Khan, travelled to Franco era Spain to study flamenco and jam with the gypsies and was at the heart of the San Fran acoustic scene.
Don’t for a minute let your mind wander to the watered down come-backs of some of his contemporaries; Peter has just matured and improved, developing his passion for flamenco. A rare opportunity this is, to encounter a player of Peter's influence and excellence.
In support are two local musicians, descendants in a musical family tree.
John Fairhurst has travelled extensively with his guitar, playing everywhere and anywhere with allsorts of people. A heavy Raga influence, with elements of gypsy jazz, a big spoonful of blues and psyche folk.
Olivia Moore, a truly gifted violinist, has herself travelled to India on numerous occasions to study. After many years playing classical violin, she delved into the worlds of jazz, flamenco, Cuban music and improvisation. Awesome!
