First gig of 2012 is tomorrow, with lots more great shows lined up for the coming months.

Feb 9th we have a three singer/songwriter line up featuring Quiet Loner, Dan Raza and Greg Harrisburg. Not quite 'in the round' but lots of collaborations and joint efforts too from three fine exponents of alt-country misery and heartbreak.

In March we have blues infused folk from Sean Taylor with support from fomer HURRAH! man Paul Handside and Andrew Oxley on the 8th. Then on the 18th the man described as "Canada's greatest guitarist", Matt Andersen is joined by York Americana king Boss Caine. Finally on the 26th there's "epic grasscore" from The Deadly Gentlemen, aided and abetted by The Payroll Union and Dave Sleney.

Texas fiddle maestro Amanda Shires has her first headline UK tour in April and joins us on the 21st, with Garron Frith and the ridiculously talented Mat Wale completing the bill.

And May is set to be a busy month, with piano Tennessee tales from Hans Chew (May 2nd), old time Canadian trio The Good Lovelies (May 16th) and Whitehorse (aka Luke Doucet + Melissa McClelland) on the 27th fusing rock 'n' roll, country and pop.

Then on July 11th we welcome back the favourite son of Wanamaker, Indiana, USA, Otis Gibbs. Writer of songs, teller of tales, populist agitator, social dissident, planter of 7000 trees, photographer, musician, iconoclast. A man trying to live decently in an indecent world.
