| 10/02/12 | Ruth Fuga and Ken Powell (ex RiskyBusiness) |
|
Ruth and Ken bring us wonderful music. Ruth's clear, warm and sensitive voice is accompanied by Ken on guitar. Maybe we’ll hear Harbour In The Storm, Gone To Ground and Something In Red. |

| 24/02/12 | Joe Broughton and Kevin Dempsey |
|
Kevin Dempsey and Joe Broughton have been playing together since 2000. They were successful with their first two albums "Every Other World" and "Freehand" Kevin and Joe have toured together extensively in Italy, Holland, Belgium, France, Germany, Austria and USA as well as in the UK. Kevin is a guitarist, singer and producer second to none. Joe is a classically trained violin player but his style owes much more to Folk, Jazz and Blues. |

| 02/03/12 | Driftwood |
|
Once before at the club in 2010 but now with a new lead singer Emma. The rest of the band are Nick on Bass Ali on Keyboards, Guitar and Mandolin, Dave on Guitar, Reuben on Trombone and Percussion and Rhiannon on Flute and Piccolo. It’s going to be a crowded stage. Driftwood come highly recommended. |

| 09/03/12 | Flossie Malavialle |
|
Flossie Malavialle is a French singer who started getting involved in the British folk scene in 2000-2001 while she was in the North East of England. She has a wide-ranging repertoire of all sorts of different music including Allan Taylor's "Roll on the day", Kieran Halpin's "Making up the miles", Colum Sands' "The child who asks why", Starrett and Laird's " John Condon" but also Edith Piaf's eternal favourites "No regrets", "La vie en rose"... |

| 16/03/12 | Kirsty McGee |
|
Kirsty McGee's life has not been that of an ordinary singer-songwriter. She began performing in bands in and around Manchester aged nineteen. In the late 1990s she worked alone on the acoustic scene, and immediately found a new audience who liked her distinctive writing style and strong voice. Always a favourite, Kirsty has been to the club many times before. |

| 11/05/12 | Cloudstreet |
|
“A delightful duo who not only inspire one another but put an indelible smile on the faces of their audiences. Strong harmonies, side-splitting stories and ballads brought to life in a way we hadn't seen before.” So say James Fagan and Nancy Kerr. Nicole plays flute, tin whistle and guitar, writes songs and flute tunes. John plays guitar and sings. |
|
| 18/05/12 | Jez Lowe |
|
A perennial entertainer at the club, Jez is a legend to dedicated Folk fans but for anyone who is unaware of his credentials he has his own blend of North East wit and humour, couple that with carefully crafted songs, guitar work and chat and you’ve got an evening to treasure. |
