On the Back Porch + Mike Richards
+ Gloria Monday

Two lovely people who are long time supporters and contributors at these events. Bob Delbridge and Issy Howie sum up what’s great about old time American music with beautiful harmonies, a warm presence and deep understanding of their art.

Issy was also a member of the Outlaw Sisters, who played for us a while back and were acclaimed for their wonderful three part harmonies. Bob is hailed as the reincarnation of Hank Williams in his role as frontman of Britain’s leading Honkytonk band, The Bapchilds

Mike Richards is another old friend who has done a huge amount to support and encourage live music in Sheffield, plus being a really great interpreter of songs. For a long time he was part of the greatly loved Americana group, Dogwood Rose, but it’s always a treat to hear him stepping out on his own account.

Plus your resident Orchestra of Truth, Gloria Monday of course. Karen & Chris have been playing together for 11 years but they continue to explore new ideas and invent new songs

Rethink Mental Illness runs the Sheffield Crisis House, offering 24 hour residential support for people experiencing acute mental health crisis. This short term but very focused intensive support can turn around the lives of people experiencing profound difficulties and distress.
