Two of the finest ornaments on the mantelpiece of Sheffield music making, Julie and Tim write great songs, Tim is a master of the guitar and cello and Julie sings exquisitely. Their album, ‘Made from a Broken Star’ was featured recently on Stuart Maconie’s Freak Zone programme on Radio 6.

It’s a very long time since they were last able to play for us, with life getting in the way, so we are really pleased that they can play for us this year.

We will also have a set from Cold Bones, a great characterful Sheffield songwriter who went down a storm on his debut at thre Grand Ol’ Bowling Club last year.

And songs from your resident Orchestra of Truth, Gloria Monday of course

It’s the first time we have had Sensible Shoes as guests but you might remember Julie Pehl who has played for us twice, we’ve been hoping to get Julie and her fellow Shoes to play for us quite a while so this will be a treat.

After the multi-instrumental fun of our bands in February and March this will be a very different kind of pleasure. Sensible shoes specialise in beautiful three part harmony singing so it will be an evening to soak up the sound,

We also have our friends Oranjabanj back again with their fresh original songs, having been such a hit at the Grand Ol’ Bowling Club a year ago. Plus your resident stripped down Orchestra of Truth, Gloria Monday of course.

Sheffield’s exuberant, exilarating and deeply lovable Folk-Rock band. They brought the house down last year, just not to be missed. Treebeard have been with us, under the genial leadership of Chris McMahon for as long as anyone can remember, with a changeing lineup, but the latest version is taking us to a new level of musical delight and silly dressing up.

And for extra pleasure we welcome back Ian Price – his singing is a deep pleasure and the songs he writes are always worth hearing.

Tom Chester is an old friend and a terrific musical craftsman whether singing or playing. We are looking forward to some special quality in his performance.

You may have seen Maeve McRory with her sister Claire in Silvermill, an unstoppable force in Sheffield’s local music scene. Maeve is bringing that musical energy to her partnership with another fine performer, Steve Dalton and we can’t wait to see what they will come up with..

Gloria Monday
Kate Trott & Johnny Higgins
Rachel Bower

It’s December so it’s Gloria Monday at the top of the bill. It’s nearly a year since we took on a new name and a new direction, we have some new songs of our own, with an upbeat celebratory feel, new arrangements of old favourites and more saxophone!

We’ll be Drinking With the Vice Squad, Skydiving, swimming with Mermaids, committing Highway Robbery and there’s a whole new version of our award-winning song about Harriet Quimby, the glamourous and tragic aviation pioneer.

But of course it’s not just us, we’ll have some beautiful jazz-influenced songs from Kate & Johnny, their first time playing with us at the Grand ‘Ol Bowling Club, and there will engaging, provoking poetry from Rachel Bower. It will be fab

Ade Hall & Paul Chisnell
Nel
and Gloria Monday of course

Ar Faoued were brilliant and they are no more. But their supporters will know that the heart of the four piece band was always Ade and Paul, in fact Ar Faoued was originally just the two of them.

So come along to the Grand O’l Bowling Club for a reminder of that energy, musicianship and humour. It will be great.

We will also have a new singer for us, nel. We think she’s lovely and we know you’ll give her a warm welcome.

And of course Gloria Monday, your very own stripped down Orchestra of Truth, will be opening proceedings and acting as hosts.

Michelle Laverick
Fawn Music
and Gloria Monday of course

Michelle Laverick has played for us several times since we started these events but she’s always been modestly in the support spot. However she has been doing some brilliant work recording her music and building up her following, recently she has played as concert support to some very big names including Tom Robinson and she has a brand new EP, Selkie Child, out this month. So it’s definitely past time to have her at the top of our bill.

Selkie Child has been getting lots of great reviews so here’s a sample:
Selkie Child, a tour de force. Hauntingly beautiful tracks, shape-shifting imagery, soulful and memorable. Highly recommend.

We’ve invited Fawn Music to play on Michelle’s particular recommendation. originally from the Hebrides where she grew up singing in Gaelic, she sings folk, classical and original songs with an emotional and Celtic twist.

And of course Gloria Monday, your very own stripped down Orchestra of Truth, will be opening proceedings and acting as hosts.

On the Back Porch
Mike Richards
and Gloria Monday of course

We are back for a new season and it’s a real pleasure to start with two lovely people and long time supprters 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 is also a member of the Outlaw Sisters, who played for us a while back and are in demand for festival concerts and singing workshops. 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.

And of course Gloria Monday, your very own stripped down Orchestra of Truth, will be opening proceedings and acting as hosts.
