LIMEHOUSE LIZZY £12 adv	Friday 12th March LIMEHOUSE LIZZY - THE GREATEST HITS OF PHIL LYNOTT & THIN LIZZY   Renowned for an action-packed pyrothechnic-fuelled explosion of a show, Limehouse Lizzy continue to keep the spirit of Celtic rock icon Philip Lynott and his band Thin Lizzy alive, well and dominating stages worldwide.   Attention to detail, playful audience interaction and that all important X-factor that leaves you with the feeling of witnessing the real thing have led to their performance being described as  “beyond tribute”, by both audience and critics alike.   Following the enormous success of their ˜Live & Dangerous” & ˜Dedication” tours, the band embarked upon their “Into the Limelight” 2008 tour to tie in with their appearance on an episode of BBC2’s ‘Arena’ documentary series of the same name. The tour travelled as far as a headline slot at the Rhodes Rock festival in Greece, and the Virgin Atlantic Music festival in Barbados. The band appeared alongside diverse world music acts, and played a Thin Lizzy set representing the celtic rock genre.   Their latest tour continues to explore and celebrate the artistic and musical legacy of the hard-living, hard-rocking, yet at times surprisingly tender and romantic artist that was Philip Lynott.   Expect Celtic influenced tracks like ”Whisky in the Jar” and “Black Rose”,  amongst the usual razzamatazz and classic tracks “The Boys are Back in Town”, “Sarah” and many others we’ve come to expect from one of the most highly rated acts on the circuit.

JOHN RENBOURNE & ROBIN WILLIAMSON £14 adv	Saturday 10th April See this great paring ! John Renbourn (born 8 August 1944, Marylebone, London, England) is an English guitarist and songwriter. He is best known for his collaboration with guitarist Bert Jansch as well as his work with the folk group Pentangle, although he maintained a solo career both before, during and after that band's existence (1967-1973). While most commonly labelled a folk musician, Renbourn's musical tastes and interests take in early music, classical music, blues and world music. His most influential album, Sir John Alot (1968), featured his take on songs from the Medieval era. Robin Williamson (born 24 November 1943, Edinburgh) is a Scottish multi-instrumentalist musician, singer, songwriter and storyteller, who first made his name as a founder member of The Incredible String Band.

WILD WILLY BARRETT £8 adv	Sunday 11th April Willy Barrett says he isn't Wild anymore: just Livid. For anyone thinking of turning out to see his cabaret show with Sleeping Dogz and who frankly don’t have a clue what to expect, be prepared for a thoroughly entertaining and highly original performance from three seriously talented musicians. Barrett himself is still best known for his previous partnership with the equally indefinable John Otway ('Beware of the flowers 'cos I'm sure they're gonna get you', for example), but he has moved on since the heady days of the 70s. He is, however, one the most accomplished multi-instrumentalists working today and plays amazingly dextrous blues, neo-spanish, jazz, rock and folk with aplomb, barely sneaking a look at the fretboard of his guitar. But it's a band. The classically trained Mary Holland plays cello, keyboards and sings wonderfully whilst fielding her bandmates' rather twisted sense of humour and John Devine, when he is not fixating on nurses and mooses (best not to ask!) matches Barrett's fluency on uilleann pipes, flute, keyboards and an array of percussion. Although often billed as a ‘folk’ band, they deliver several delightfully odd mini-epics that are very unfolky in their skewiff grandeur, with more affinity in tone to grandiose psychedelia. These include Gypsies Too, The Emperor's Head (a pub), Tales From The Raj (an Indian restaurant?), and, grandest of all, Milton Keynes, which has something of the feel of an outsider music answer to Stairway To Heaven. Then there's the rousing country jig numbers, such as the delightful Old Joe Coral. And then there's the audience participation numbers, which throw an element of football crowd rowdiness into very odd contexts. Who is this Boris ‘the vodka king', whom we are all celebrating so enthusiastically? Never expect explanations from this band. Even the most straightforward songs have a twist that make them special, and for sheer panache you can’t beat playing the slide guitar with a whole raw egg! If you want to see it all for yourself then get along to a live gig and witness the godfather of grunge folk. Or is it acoustic punk? Even Livid Willy Barrett doesn't know, but he's open to suggestions. Download artsist mp3's here

ROLLIN STONED £8 adv	Saturday 6th June The costumes are shamelessly camp and the instruments genuinely vintage.

MIDNIGHT MANGO PRESENTS ADRIAN EDMONDSON & THE BAD SHEPHERS £15 adv	Friday 8th October The Bad Shepherds play punk songs on folk instruments. Not as a gag, but because they really like the noise.

They do songs by The Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Stranglers, The Jam, Sham 69, The Undertones, The Ramones, The Buzzcocks, The Specials, Talking Heads, Squeeze and others, even Kraftwerk! Alright, they're not all punk, but they come from roughly the same era. They've mostly given the songs a kind of Celtic feel, and they've stuck in the odd reel and jig here and there. But occassionally they just thrash! They've always thought the excitement of a reel taking off is the nearest thing to the excitement of watching punk live in the 70's. Download artsist mp3's here
JOHN OTWAY £10 adv	Saturday 9th October John first achieved notoriety with his eye-watering performance on Old Grey Whistle Test and subsequent hit single 'Really Free' in 1977.

His autobiography 'Rock and Roll's Greatest Failure' out sold, by a factor of ten, all the records he had released since his hit, and now Otway is struggling to live up to this billing - selling out London Astoria for his 2000th gig in 1993, filling the Royal Albert Hall in 1998, and charting at number 9 with his 2002 single 'Bunsen Burner'. For John 'Two Hits' Otway, 'the future's bright; the future's Otway! Download artsist mp3's here
LANCASHIRE HOTPOTS £10 adv	Saturday 16th October There aren’t many bands who can have their videos played on MTV2 and also have real ales named after them but there also aren’t many bands like The Lancashire Hotpots. The Lancashire Hotpots take comedic observations of the trappings of modern day life (Sat Navs, meeting women on the internet and Shopmobility Scooters) added some infectious melodies and in doing so have created a cult musical sensation enjoyed by young and old alike.  Their live shows are akin to a ‘Northern knees up’ where singing, drinking and having fun are equally important for both the audience and band alike. “You won’t find another band like this, I promise!” BBC R2 Steve Lamacq With over a million MySpace plays to date, the lads have attracted national radio play and support from BBC R2 from Chris Evans and BBC R2 and BBC 6 Music with Steve Lamacq.   Because of their no nonsense approach to comedy and fun, the band have quickly acquired a massive national following. In 2008 the band supported ardent fan Paddy McGuinness on his ‘Paddy McGuinness Plus You’ tour and last year they graced not one but two stages at the Glastonbury Festival with Steve Lamacq naming them as one of his top 5 Glastonbury moments for 2009. With three successful albums behind them, a live DVD and an EP to follow in early 2010, the Lancashire Hotpots continue to draw massive crowds and national support from all quarters of the musical spectre. ”The Spinal Tap of folk bands”  Paddy McGuinness ”One of my most enjoyable gigs of the year”  Steve Lamacq – BBC 6 Music '”The sexiest band in the world”  Arthur Smith, The Smith Lectures, BBC Radio 2 “Masters of parody” The Guardian Download artsist mp3's here
