Having tired of seeing many a fine act bypass our fair city of Sheffield, we decided to start doing something about it ourselves. Bringing a fine blend of Americana, Alt-Country, Acoustic and with a dash of Folk and Roots influences thrown in, we're WagonWheelMedia. You can find our website at: www.wagonwheelmedia.co.uk. Tickets (where required) for our shows are available from there, and you'll also find futher details of other outlets below.
To join our mailing list and keep in touch with what we're up to, just send a blank e-mail to wagonwheelmedia@hotmail.co.uk

We have 3 shows coming soon for which tickets are on sale now. Canada's The Minnikins (aka Gabriel Minnikin and Ruth Minnikin) will be appearing on Sunday August 10th at The Grapes. Following that on Sunday September 7th our Americana Night will be headlined by Southern Tenant Folk Union. Then on Friday October 3rd we welcome US singer/songwriter Rod Picott along with Amanda Shires. Again this show is at The Grapes. Tickets for all of these shows are currently available from Jacks Records on Division Street, and online from both www.seetickets.com and this page via PayPal. Tickets for The Minnikins and Southern Tenant Folk Union shows are priced at £5 each, and for Rod Picott £6.50. Booking fees will also apply, see the respective websites for details.
This month we have Regina Spektor with the theme to the film Prince Caspian (but don’t let that put you off, it is really rather wonderful), Mermaid Skeletons with a great song that’s worth it for the chorus alone, the Agnostic Mountain Gospel Choir, who are as good as their name if not more so and finally the legendary Chip Taylor with the thought-provoking Former American Soldier. Great listening, and if you like the tracks, buy the albums!
