SUMMARY:Joyce Moreno
DESCRIPTION:Born in Rio de Janeiro\, four-times Grammy nominee\, singer\, composer\, arranger and instrumentalist\n \n  \nJoyce Moreno has in her portfolio over 400 recordings of songs she has authored\, interpreted by the greatest names in Brazilian popular music: from Elis Regina and Gal Costa to Milton Nascimento\, Sergio Mendes\, and countless others. Beyond Brazil\, Joyce’s work has been recorded by Annie Lennox\, Wallace Roney\, Omara Portuondo\, Black Eyed Peas\, David Sanchez\, Jon Lucien\, Claus Ogerman\, Gerry Mulligan\, Till Brönner\, Flora Purim\, to name a few. \n  \nJoyce’s compositions have been featured in film soundtracks (e.g.\, ‘The Player’ by Robert Altman and ‘Legally Blonde’ by Robert Luketic)\, animations (the Japanese anime ‘Wolf’s Rain’\, in partnership with composer Yoko Kanno)\, TV programmes\, and theatrical productions. In the early 1990’s her music was embraced by DJs all over the world\, starting from London\, and her tune ‘Aldeia de Ogum’ became a massive worldwide dancefloor hit\, with numerous remixes. \n  \nSince the beginning of her career\, Joyce’s registered trademark has been the first-person feminine voice\, which she pioneered; she was the first Brazilian female songwriter to express herself in this form\, opening the way for countless other artists who followed. \n  \nJoyce Moreno has received four nominations for the Latin Grammy (2000\, 2004\, 2005\, 2010)\, and numerous awards\, worldwide and in her native Brazil. To date\, she has released 39 personal CDs and two DVDs\, in addition to numerous compilations and guest appearances. Currently\, her work takes her all over the world; she makes annual tours and records new albums in various countries\, never losing her feminine Brazilian identity. Each year she performs on the Japanese Blue Note circuit and tours jazz festivals and other venues in Europe and North America. \n  \nIn 2015 her musical work was honored at Berklee College of Music\, where she performed her own songs with a 25-piece orchestra of top-notch students\, in a concert called “Joyce Meets Berklee”. \n  \n \n“…One of the best singers of all time!… As if it weren’t enough\, Joyce is a great composer and plays ace guitar! What an amazing woman!”\nAntonio Carlos Jobim \n  \n“These days\, she occupies a status something like that of Joni Mitchell\, a matriarch who paved the way for other women (…) while influencing a generation with her jazz-steeped songs.”\nAndrew Gilbert – East Bay Express \n  \n“Her musical capacity surprised me when\, years later\, she reemerged playing guitar like the best (in the land of João Gilberto\, Dori [Caymmi]\, [Gilberto] Gil\, and João Bosco\, this is not a bagatelle)\, her singing precisely tuned\, writing songs with original harmonic and melodic imagination..”\nCaetano Veloso \n \nLinks\njoycemoreno.com \n

SUMMARY:Rob Heron & Conrad Bird
DESCRIPTION:Rob Heron has been touring the world with his band The Tea Pad Orchestra for the past 15 years\, throwing flavours of classic country\, gypsy-swing\, rhythm & blues\, and rockabilly into his original songs.\n \n  \nOriginally from the Lake District\, but based in Newcastle Upon Tyne\, he is well-known for his live performances\, and dry humour on stage. He and his band have toured with big-name Americana outfits such as Pokey LaFarge\, The Dead South\, and Sierra Ferrell. \n2026 sees Rob recording his first ‘solo’ record since 2008\, delving deeper into that lonesome country sound\, yodelling cowboy songs\, and more intimate song-writing.\nConrad Bird is a rambling rover from North Yorkshire\, and after over a decade of fronting the very popular festival act\, Holy Moly & The Crackers\, he is finally taking it back to the roots\, with a brand-new solo EP of poetic folk songs\, and Dylan-inspired balladeering. His gravelly voice and his on-stage story-telling result in a very charming stage show. \nTogether\, the Cumbrian cowboy\, and the Yorkshire rover are heading off on a country-wide tour\, both promoting their new solo releases\, and briefly taking a step back from the wild rock & roll circus! \n  \n \n

SUMMARY:Ian McNabb
DESCRIPTION:Robert Ian McNabb was born in Liverpool on November 3rd 1960. An only child – the son of Patricia and Robert.\nHe first picked up a guitar at the age of 12 after seeing Marc Bolan on Top Of The Pops. \n  \nIan joined his first band\, Young World\, at the age of 15 ; They played the working men’s club circuit for a couple of years before Ian joined another band City Lights. This band again gigged extensively around the North of England cabaret circuit\, but Ian grew tired of playing other peoples songs and decided that cabaret was not the way forward for him.\nHe had always written songs for fun but now he began to take it seriously. \nIn 1981 Ian formed The Icicle Works with Chris Sharrock (drums)\, and Chris Layhe (bass and vocals).\nThey quickly gained a following through their debut single release\, Nirvana\, and extensive live performances up and down the country. \nThe Icicle Works became part of the Liverpool renaissance movement of the eighties\, alongside acts such as Echo And The Bunnymen\, The Teardrop Explodes\, WAH!\, Heat\, OMD\, Black\, Dead Or Alive\, Frankie Goes To Hollywood\, The Lotus Eaters\, and China Crisis. \n  \nThey signed to Beggar’s Banquet records\, and under the guidance of Martin Mills scored a top 20 hit with Love Is A Wonderful Colour in the U.K ; and top 40 placings in the U.S\, Canada\, and Europe with Birds Fly (Whisper To A Scream)\, with their eponymous debut album. \nThe Icicle Works achieved top 40 placings in the UK for all four of their albums – The Icicle Works\, The Small Price Of A Bicycle\, If You Want To Defeat Your Enemy Sing His Songs\, and Blind – until they split up in 1988. \nMuff Winwood signed Ian to Epic records in 1989\, paying a buy-out fee to Beggar’s Banquet; but Muff’s insistence on using The Icicle Works name\, (with new musicians Roy Corkill and Zak Starkey) when the original band had ceased to be\, caused friction\, and after one disappointingly received album\, Permanent Damage\, Ian was dropped from Epic’s roster. \nIan began a collaboration with his friend and previous Icicle Works producer\, Ian Broudie – a number of songs featured on subsequent Lightning Seeds records\, which became hugely successful. \nIan signed to Andrew Lauder’s new imprint\, This Way Up\, in 1992\, which yielded 3 albums : Truth And Beauty (which Ian had recorded at his own expense by remortgaging his house)\, Head Like A Rock\, which was recorded in part with Neil Young’s band Crazy Horse in L.A and subsequently nominated for a Mercury Music Prize in 1994\, and Merseybeast – the latter 2 albums achieved top 30 placings; the first was heralded as “One of the best records released in Q magazine’s lifetime”.\nThis Way Up records ceased to be in 1997 and Ian found himself without a deal once more\, so accepted an invitation to join his friend Mike Scott (The Waterboys) on bass guitar for a lengthy European and Japanese tour.\nIan self financed another record in 1998\, A Party Political Broadcast On Behalf Of The Emotional Party\, which featured Danny Thompson (John Martyn\, Nick Drake amongst others) on upright bass. They toured together that Autumn to promote the record. At the end of the decade Ian released the live disc Live at Life\, recorded over two nights at Liverpool’s Life Cafe. \nIan then joined The Waterboys on keyboards for a European tour. When this was completed\, Ian accepted Ian Broudie’s invitation to record on ‘The Barge’ – Pete Townshend’s studio which Broudie was currently renting\, moored next to Pete’s Eel Pie complex. The resulting album – Ian McNabb – saw a return of Ian’s love of guitar driven pop/rock and was released on Sanctuary Records in 2001. \nIan briefly played bass guitar in Ringo Starr’s band in 2002. \nThroughout the 00s Ian released a further 5 solo albums : Waifs And Strays\, The Gentleman Adventurer\, Before All Of This\, How We Live\, and Great Things – all self financed and issued on his own Fairfield Records imprint to a small\, dedicated fan base. All albums were supported by extensive touring. \nIn 2009 Ian unleashed his autobiography Merseybeast which has become something of a cult classic amongst the rock fraternity (Peter Buck of R.E.M contacted Ian recently to tell him that he’d only just discovered the book and loved it!) – it has since been released as an audio book\, narrated by Ian himself. \nSo far this decade\, Ian has released Little Episodes\, Eclectic Warrior\, and Kruggerands – harder rocking albums which both feature the band Cold Shoulder ; Respectfully Yours (a long promised album of cover versions)\, Star\, Smile\, Strong\, which features collaborations with Prof. Brian Cox\, a co-write with Ralph Molina (from Crazy Horse)\, and the unexpected return of Icicle Works drummer Chris Sharrock (who had gone on to work with The La’s\, World Party\, Del Amitri\, Dave Stewart\, Mick Jagger\, Robbie Williams\, Oasis\, and both Liam and Noel Gallagher in their solo endeavours)\, and most recently Our Future In Space\, which once again features Cold Shoulder\, and the song Aquamarine co-written with R.E.Ms Peter Buck. \n \n \n \n“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet\, consectetuer adipiscing elit..”\nWRITER – PUBLICATION \n“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet\, consectetuer adipiscing elit.”\nWRITER – PUBLICATION \n“Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet\, consectetuer adipiscing elit.”\nWRITER – PUBLICATION \n \nLinks\nianmcnabb.com \n

SUMMARY:Martin McAloon of Prefab Sprout "Steve McQueen - Slight Return"
DESCRIPTION:Martin McAloon announces Steve McQueen – Slight Return UK Tour\n \n  \nFollowing the overwhelming response to last year’s celebrated Two Wheels Good tour\, Martin McAloon is hitting the road again this autumn — this time bringing Prefab Sprout’s landmark album Steve McQueen to towns\, cities and venues that the tour didn’t reach first time around. \nSteve McQueen – Slight Return is a joyful acknowledgement of the demand that never quite went away. \n“Following the national and international success of the Two Wheels Good tour\,” says Martin\, “it seemed right to acknowledge just how many people were asking for more — in places we hadn’t yet reached. I’m buoyed by the reception these songs received\, and I’m thrilled to be taking the album out on the road one last time.” \nOne of the most beloved British records of the 1980s\, Steve McQueen will be performed in full — and that’s just the beginning. As with last year’s shows\, Martin will also be drawing from the wider Prefab Sprout catalogue\, bringing to life as many of his brother Paddy’s songs as the evening will hold. \nLast year’s repertoire stretched to over thirty songs beyond the album itself. \n  \nThese are evenings for fans old and new: intimate\, warm\, and overflowing with some of the most beautifully crafted pop songs this country has ever produced \n  \n \n“An absolute delight and must-see for any Prefab Sprout fan and a masterclass in how to survive the music business and remain human..”\nPeter Freeth – At The Barrier.com \n  \n \nLinks\nmartinmcaloon.com \n

SUMMARY:Dave Arcari
DESCRIPTION:Alt.blues double bill featuring Dave Arcari (Scotland) and special guest Andres Roots (Estonia)\n \nSLIDE guitarist & songwriter Dave Arcari’s alt.blues sounds owe as much to trash country\, punk and rockabilly as they do pre-war Delta blues and have been showcased via seven internationally-acclaimed solo album releases. \nFollowing a successful Kickstarter campaign his eighth album Still Friends was released in November 2025. \nA finalist in the UK Blues Federation’s UK Blues Awards 2023\, Arcari has had his music featured in numerous BBC TV programmes as well as popular USA series The Deadliest Catch. \nThe ultimate validation for Arcari’s music and performance came in 2019 when National Reso-Phonic Guitars launched the ‘Dave Arcari signature model’ guitar. Arcari joins an elite and exclusive group of players who have signature models and is the first – and only – musician outside the USA to be honoured by the iconic instrument maker whose name is synonymous with the development of the blues genre. \nWhile continuing to build his audience in the USA with once or twice-annual tours since 2013 – including official showcases at SxSW in Austin\, Texas – Arcari also maintains his presence on the UK and European touring and festival circuits. \nArcari’s festival appearances include Glastonbury (UK)\, Red Rooster (UK)\, BluesAlive (Czech Republic & Poland shows)\, Moulin Blues (Netherlands)\, The Great British R&B Festival and Peer Festival (Belgium). He has also played industry showcases at the North by North East (NxNE) music festival in Toronto\, Canada and he was a finalist the UK Indy Music Awards reaching the top four in his category (best male solo artist). \nA series of shows with folks including Steve Earle\, Alabama 3\, Seasick Steve\, Toby Keith and Jon Spencer along with his relentless UK and European tour schedule have established Arcari as a formidable international solo performer who is fast building a media reputation as a ‘hell-raising National guitar madman’. \nA former debt collector\, Arcari cut his musical teeth busking on the streets of Glasgow before forming his first band Summerfield Blues which won the Alexis Korner Memorial Trophy and accolade of Scottish Blues Band of the Year at Edinburgh International Blues Festival in1993. \nHe went on to form pioneering alt.blues trio Radiotones\, releasing three studio albums between1998 and 2003 before embarking on a solo career. \nIn between times\, Arcari also played guitar with Union Avenue – an oddball collective playing least expected covers (think The Clash\, Pink Floyd\, Undertones\, Bob Marley) in a late 50’s/Sun Records-era Cash style. The band landed record of the week on Mark Radcliffe’s Radio 1 show with their version of Motorhead’s Ace of Spades. \n  \nDoors: 7.30pm / Showtime: 8pm sharp.\nTickets: £15 advance (£17.50 on the door – subject to availability) \n \n \n  \nLinks\ndavearcari.com \n

SUMMARY:Transmission: The Sound of Joy Division
DESCRIPTION:Devoted to recreating the atmosphere of a live Joy Division gig\, Transmission emulate the sound of one of the most inventive\, evocative and influential groups of their era. \n  \nJoy Division were formed in the late 1970s and dissolved in May 1980 after the suicide of lead singer Ian Curtis. The remaining members went on to form New Order and have achieved great critical and commercial success. \n  \nThe influence of Joy Division\, however\, was far reaching. They were considered the pioneering band of the post-punk movement of the late 1970s and early 1980s. \n  \nForty years on\, you can still relive the dark\, cavernous sound of Joy Division through Transmission\, the UK’s number one Joy Division tribute act. \n \n \nLinks\ntransmission-live.com \n

SUMMARY:Joachim Cooder
DESCRIPTION:There is a somewhat quiet giant making their way around America\, Europe\, and a few other territories that isn’t always noticed\, but when he’s there\, there is no way to ever overlook his music. \nJoachim Cooder is one-of-a-kind. That is all there is to it. He plays a variety of instruments\, writes songs that seem to come from a slightly different universe and is unforgettable once seen and heard. \nCooder has a handful of recordings now\, and every one is absolutely unforgettable. Which isn’t hard to understand once it’s clear what kind of musical discoveries he’s Had his life\, and one he continues to chase with the kind of energy of a champion athlete. \nOne of Cooder’s true calling cards is how his music is able to float in air. He is not tied to the tyranny of a snare drum or any one instrument. What the man is able to do is a blend of percussion\, strings\, vocals\, and other wonders without names into a breathing animal all its own. This really is popular music for people beyond popularity. People that live in a time of their own. \nJoachim Cooder grew up surrounded by music alongside his father\, legendary guitarist Ry Cooder who took him on the road at an early age on the drums\, playing both live and in the studio. These touring and recording projects allowed him to share stages and recordings with Johnny Cash\, Ali Farka Touré\, V. M. Bhatt\, Steve Earle\, John LeeHooker\, Dr. John\, Nick Lowe\, Mavis Staples\, The Happy Mondays\, and most notably the award winning project The Buena Vista Social Club which has sold more than eight million copies worldwide and entered the book of Guinness World Records as the best-selling world music album of all time. \n  \n \nLinks\njoachimcooder.com \n

SUMMARY:The Allergies (live)
DESCRIPTION:The duo of DJ Moneyshot and Rackabeat have been delighting dance-floors and lighting up the airwaves since forming The Allergies and releasing their debut album in 2016. Year in\, year out\, they’ve sharpened their skills on the turntables and in the studio\, dropping one dynamite record after another. \n  \nTouring the world\, clocking up A List status and Album of The Day gongs at BBC Radio 6 Music\, as well as sound tracking international ad and TV campaigns\, the pair show no signs of slowing. \nAfter consecutive top 40 LPs\, the boys are just wrapping the bow on their next full length artist album\, BENEATH THIS SUN\, which will drop in 2026. \n  \nAs usual\, the Bristol-based beatmakers have assembled a crack team to help bring their loops to life. LA rap legend\, Andy Cooper (Ugly Duckling) is back on board\, alongside the mighty pipes of Marietta Smith (Smith & The Honey Badgers)\, and British sax institution James Morton (Pee Wee Ellis\, Fred Wesley and The New JB’s) – Also all staples of The Allergies dynamite live show act. \nPlus\, guest spots from some super special MCs and singers from both sides of The Pond including Chase & Status vocalist\, Knytro\, Nubiyan Twist frontwoman\, Aziza Jaye\, and young Bristol rap talents\, HybridMP & KAI. It continues to build on what first bonded the pair after meeting on the festival circuit – A love of deep funk and feel-good hip-hop. \n  \nMoneyshot had already made a name for himself as a resident on Ninja Tune’s Solid Steel radio. Gaining worldwide fame for his DJ mixes\, with Rolling Stone magazine ranking him in their ’25 Greatest Internet DJ Mixes of All Time’ feature. \nAnd Rackabeat\, a successful drum ’n’ bass producer\, had already banged out a string of releases\, including remixing dance music royalty like Groove Armada.\nMixing this keen ear for a sample\, and some polished studio knowhow\, provided the perfect formula for The Allergies sound. Inspired by producers like Cut Chemist\, Public Enemy’s Bomb Squad\, and the kaleidoscopic sampledelica of acts like The Avalanches and vintage De La Soul\, they raid the past to make music for the future. \n  \nClassic tracks from their back catalogue like ‘God Walked Down’\, ‘Felony’ and ‘Every Trick In The Book’ which continue to rack up tens of millions of streams\, are prime examples of The Allergies vision – To take dusty grooves from forgotten wax and pull out soulful hooks\, add hip-hop energy and driving drums\, to make something new and exciting that hits your heart as much as it does your dancing feet. \n  \n \n  \n“The Allergies music is big\, bouncy and fat! Just how I like my funk”\nCraig Charles\, BBC Radio 6 Music  \n  \n \nLinks\ntheallergies.co.uk \n

SUMMARY:Mama's Broke
DESCRIPTION:For more than a decade\, Mama’s Broke\, the Canadian duo of Amy Lou Keeler and Lisa Maria\, have forged a style carried across landscapes rather than tied to one. \nTheir forthcoming 12-song LP Reunion\, out August 28 via Free Dirt Records and Forward Music Group\, follows years in near-constant motion\, bringing their folk-without-borders approach to small clubs\, DIY spaces\, and everywhere in between. Winners of the Canadian Folk Music Award for Ensemble of the Year for their 2017 debut Count the Wicked\, their music is rooted in long days playing for passing crowds and traveling by foot\, as well as in the deep wells of folk lineage they’ve tapped into across Eastern Canada\, Appalachia\, Ireland\, and beyond. Their sound doesn’t belong to any one place so much as it passes through them\, grounded in the traditions that shaped it. \n  \nThat foundation was built long before stages and studio sessions\, in traveling communities where music functioned as both currency and connection. The two met within a global network of musicians funding their way through shared songs\, carrying only what they could as they traded melodies and stories across the miles. Playing for hours at a time on the street demanded a repertoire that could hold attention and sustain emotion\, drawing them deep into traditional material and the discipline of close harmony. Over time\, the songs became a common language\, connecting what came before with the music they were making together. \n  \nBuilding on their JUNO-nominated album Narrow Line (2022)\, Reunion reflects a world coming apart in plain sight\, tracing fractured communities\, the erosion of shared ground\, and the growing awareness that the systems we were taught to trust no longer hold or deliver the promises they were meant to keep. The songs don’t preach or prescribe; they reflect\, holding up a mirror and leaving space for something else to take shape. \n  \nRecorded just outside Nashville in Goodlettsville\, Tennessee\, Reunion features subtle contributions from bassist Paul Kowert (Gillian Welch & David Rawlings) and others\, adding depth without pulling focus from the record’s acoustic core. At its heart\, Mama’s Broke remains what it has always been: two voices\, intertwined\, both fragile and enduring. Reunion asks what it means to make something that lasts: not a place you’re from\, or even a place you return to\, but what you make together\, and how long it lasts\, if you tend to it. \n  \n \nLinks\nmamasbroke.ca \n

SUMMARY:Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse
DESCRIPTION:  \nBeaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse are a California-based roots rock (blending Blues Rock Americana\, Country\, and Soul) band created and led by Louisiana-born-and-raised musician Greta Valenti (Well Hung Heart) and UK British Blues Hall of Fame Inductee\, Robin Davey (The Hoax\, DVL\, Well Hung Heart). \n  \nDue to the band’s cross-Atlantic touring\, The Apocalypse comprises various talented musicians from across the globe. Plus various other collaborations and guest appearances. To fully understand Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse\, experience the band live. With a mix of soulful songs\, intense rock energy\, and world-class award-winning musicianship\, RhythmBooze summed up the show finale as “A mind-boggling\, blistering finish with everything thrown in including the kitchen sink…truly memorable”. \nWhen Louder Sounds preaches “Let Beaux Gris Gris & The Apocalypse twist yer melons and remind you of the wonder of life” it might be because the band vibe is easier to pin down than their unique take on the roots genres. Rockshot Magazine elaborates “This extremely entertaining collective is a New Orleans-inspired\, American blues-folk-soul band\, who refuse to be pigeon-holed”. \n  \n \n \n  \n \nLinks\nbeauxgrisgris.com \n

SUMMARY:Funke and the Two Tone Baby
DESCRIPTION:  \nFunke and the Two Tone Baby is a truly unique artiste.\n \n  \nDesigning music on a machine of his own creation whilst playing a genre and sound that is totally his own. Jammed between off-kilter garage beats with a flash of hip-hop\, and high energy alternative blues with a dose of funk\, is a whirling blur of glitches\, big drops and jump up choruses. It’s Fatboy Slim meets The White Stripes via LCD Soundsystem and a smattering of IDLES to boot. No one is making music in this way or in this style\, and those who know\, know\, and those who don’t are surely missing out. \n  \nIn February 2027\, Funke returns with his 5th studio album ‘Greebling’. ’Greebling’ is the process of adding detail to increase the appearance of complexity and this new iteration of Funke promises to be more detailed and more complex than ever before. With the new album featuring guest appearances from Beans on Toast and Samantics\, and once again produced by Dutty Moonshine Big Band’s production genius\, ‘Binge’\, Funke’s 5th LP stands head and shoulders above anything he has done so far on his long and dedicated music career. \n  \nThe new record contains all the elements of blues\, electronica and ferocity that Funke’s been evolving for the last 15 years\, but distils it further down with tighter production\, a fuller embrace of dance music culture and an ever-growing arsenal of instruments and repertoire. Trading an acoustic guitar for an electric\, this new direction cuts through a pulsating desk of synths\, drum machines\, harmonicas and boundless energy\, to create a wall of sound you can’t believe one man can make. \n \nLinks\nfunkeandthetwotonebaby.co.uk \n

SUMMARY:Ripe
DESCRIPTION:  \nRipe remembers sweating to hell in a basement underneath a Subway sandwich shop\, building their very first songs in a concrete cube that smelled like fresh bread. They remember selling their first tickets by hand outside the coffee shop that their friends worked at\, holding court like twenty-something impresarios trying to move like 50 tickets to a bar that was willing to let you keep the ticket sales if they kept the bar. \n  \nIn a world where we constantly feel the loving pressure to “tell our story”\, where so many of our friends that have found success as artists have done it alone\, Ripe is using their bio to tell you that at the center of everything is collaboration and community\, a friendship that has become a bond as strong as family\, a constantly spinning object that cannot be properly captured by any single still photograph. \nThe making and release of their latest album\, Play The Game\, has been an intense\, joyous journey of swelling energy. Working in dream studios\, in a city they spent years trying to take a proper chance on\, with a producer that had made albums they loved in their formative years\, alongside the closest musical relations they had formed. This is their love letter to complicated nostalgia\, to relentless empowering change\, to realizing that making dreams come true (just like a crisis) only fully makes sense when it is shared. \nJoy In The Wild Unknown let them tell you who they were. Bright Blues had them ripped apart so they could start again. What comes next is the band swinging for the fences\, all in at the table\, risking everything for a shot at feeling connected to you. Thank you for being here. \n \n \nLinks\nripetheband.com \n
