Monday 6th July 2009, 9pm Andy Smythe Duo

Andy writes wonderfully evocative songs on guitar and piano which paint a fascinating portrait of life in 21st century England. Come and enjoy one of the finest new voices on the UK folk and acoustic scene.

If you love great male singer/songwriters who love storytelling like Dylan, Mike Scott, Rufus Wainwright, Phil Ochs, Springsteen then you'll love Andy.

Monday 13th July 2009, 9pm Sally Ironmonger

Sally Ironmonger doesn't sing with an American accent, she is English, and yes, Ironmonger is her real name. English and proud.

At 16 she played in folk clubs with a Bob Dylan hat, and was hooked on performance - she hasn't stopped singing since.

Her lyrics are sad, happy, accusing, questioning and researched - but always her own words, her own English.

The Sally Ironmonger Trio is different ....

Wednesday 22nd July 2009, 8.30pm One Day Elliott + Guests

"One day Elliot pulled out a fantastic set of post punk rock and roll, pulling 4 part vocal harmonies, acapella parts and ambitious chord stuctures. A real display that they know how to write songs, understand harmony and melody, the more ambitious concepts of pop song writing and stagecraft only honed through many, many gigs, superb" - Live review from the Race Horse, Northampton
"ODE have passion, enthusiasm and energy to spare" - Kerrang!
