Steve Adey with Sweet Billy Pilgrim & Catherine Anne Davies

Tickets £10 adv. from www.ticketweb.co.uk

STEVE ADEY: Songwriter, singer and musician Steve Adey creates slow burning piano and vocal led music that is drop dead beautiful. His debut album 'All Things Real' was released in 2006 to huge critical acclaim. It was the Sunday Times CD of the week and also made the Times best of 2006. His own compositions sit gracefully alongside a cover of the Dylan classic 'Shelter From the Storm' - slowed down to funeral pace with a vocal that has emotionally charged passion in the delivery and a sense of foreboding running throughout. Will Oldham's 'I See A Darkness' is also deconstructed with Adey sounding even more desperate than Oldham. Ian Mathers, writing for Stylus (US) writes "Adey sounds like a man at the end of his rope, possibly while standing on a chair". US journal for improvised and progressive music Signal to Noise heralded Adey's work as "haunting folk into straight-up epic territory." Steve will be performing with a full band prior to his debut headline UK tour this autumn. www.steveadey.com

SWEET BILLY PILGRIM: Their debut album 'We just did what happened and no one came' - a collection of songs recorded in a warm shed where hope floats and faith taps at the door, sometimes a little too quietly to hear. Mojo magazine awarded it 4 * * * * . The Sunday Times called it, "a rather special debut." Somewhere between the earthy and the ethereal, Sweet Billy Pilgrim scrape strings and tap away at laptops making beautiful things. www.sweetbillypilgrim.com www.myspace.com/sweetbillypilgrim

CATHERINE ANNE DAVIES: Multi-instrumentalist Catherine Anne Davies writes dark and twisted songs about breaking people into pieces and having your heart stamped on. Repeatedly. Catherine is currently working on her debut album, and also collaborating with Nitin Sawhney for his forthcoming album alongside Imogen Heap, Paul McCartney, Anoushka Shankar, and Get Cape. Wear Cape. Fly. "A voice that sounds like a lake of black honey." - METRO
