Bernard Hoskin 8.25pm - 8.55pmBernard Hoskin is a singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist based near Cambridge, England. He has been performing both solo and in various groups at folk clubs and festivals in England for twelve years. His work has been influenced by a diverse range of artists including, Paul Simon, Bert Jansch, Marc Cohn, Shawn Colvin, Papa Wemba as well as English and Celtic traditional music. Primarily a guitarist, he also plays bass, keyboards and mandolin. As well as touring and recording in his own right, he finds time to run Acoustic Routes, a cambridge acoustic music club set in the same 'not for profit' mould as AcoustiCity. It was a great pleasure to invite him to play for us tonight. www.bernardhoskin.comBird 9.05pm - 9.35pmBird is a project created by Janie Price a half English-half Irish singer, cellist, drummer, songwriter currently based in London. Having trained classically on the cello from the age of six she played in youth orchestras and performed regularly. By the age of eleven she started learning the drums and by fifteen was the youngest female drummer to headline the Marquee Club in London. By eighteen she had started getting work as a session musician and singing and playing in studios and venues across UK and Europe including Glastonbury and t.v. shows such as TFI Friday. Although touring and working with signed bands was great fun, as a song writer she knew she would inevitably want to start working on her own project and so Bird began. Last year's release, the EP “Early” is a superb introduction to her music. www.birdwebsite.netPlease visit the various artists' websites and check out their releases and upcoming gigs. If CD sales at the end of the gigs are any judge of quality, you will not be disappointed. |
