Event information

ADVANCE TICKETS HAVE NOW BEEN TAKEN OFF SALE. THERE WILL BE SOME TICKETS LEFT ON THE DOOR FOR £6. DOORS AT 8PM.

BEN MARWOOD is a singer-songwriter, but not like one of the ones you hate, more like... whoever your favourite one is. After a DIY mini-album in 2008 ('This Is Not What You Had Planned'), debut album 'Outside There's A Curse' was released on acclaimed independent label Xtra Mile in January 2011 and there was much rejoicing. Second album 'Back Down' released May 2013. Ben will be playing tracks from 'Back Down' with the possibility of some new ones thrown in for good measure.

RETROSPECTIVE SOUNDTRACK PLAYERS
are one of the most original if not the ONLY punk/rock/folk/pop concept band in the land, nay the world. They make new soundtracks to their favourite old films and books. In 2011 they released a country/americana influenced album based on the cult Paul Newman chain gang movie 'Cool Hand Luke' (and the vastly under-appreciated novel by Donn Pearce), and followed this up with 'The Catcher in the Rye' in 2012, using a punk/pop/rock template to pay homage to Salinger's classic tale of adolescent frustration.

JOE SUMMERS
A local singer-songwriter of rare talent. This Walsall-born singer-songwriter has been steadily gaining some incredible endorsements over the last eighteen months. He has toured Europe with the legendary Steve Winwood, been invited to support Joan Armatrading, and was also featured on Steve Lamacq's Radio Two show as his 'Act of the week'.
His first two EPs were produced by Grammy-nominated engineer James Towler; both being recorded at Steve Winwood's home studio by special invite. To date, Summers has supported the likes of Frank Turner, Fyfe Dangerfield and The Lightning Seeds. Joe's approach to songwriting has been compared to the likes of Cat Stevens, Ron Sexsmith, Nick Drake and Johnny Flynn amongst others.
