| For Folk’s Sake it’s Jim Causely! |  The autumn season at For Folk’s Sake, Manchester’s monthly folk and roots night kicks off on Thursday 2nd September.
Jim Causely, he of the ridiculously impressive musical cv, is the most prominent name on show and there will also be sets from Daniel Land, Jayn Hanna from The Steals and Christopher Knowles.
This all takes place upstairs at the Kro Bar, 325 Oxford Road, Manchester M13 9PG opposite the University of Manchester's Student Union. Doors open at 7.30 pm and tickets are £5 with £3 concessions.
Finish the Week in Mellow Style
Tom Doughty’s splendid CD, Have a Taste of This, was reviewed on this site back in July. Now there’s a chance to see the man in action which shouldn’t be missed.
Doughty mixes folk, blues and contemporary material whilst adding something that’s all his own. He appears at the Blue Coat Centre on School Lane in Liverpool on Friday September 3rd, starting at 8pm.
Tickets are available from the link below. Go on, treat yourself.
And Whilst on Merseyside
There’s a new evening of Americana, Roots and Acoustic music to be held monthly at Grateful Freds, which is staged at the Freshfield Hotel, Formby.
The first of these is on 17th September and features Drew Nelson from Detroit, Michigan who will be touring the UK but playing much bigger and more well known venues elsewhere. Proceedings get under way at 8 pm and tickets are £5.
Band Wanted
North West Folk has been approached by a venue in Cheshire who are looking for an English folk act for 4th June 2011. There will be about 120 people in the audience mostly aged 60-70 but with several younger families too.
The organizers want English folk music with an option for dancing and are willing to pay £300 to £400. If this sounds like you then get in touch via the contact link at the top of the page, preferably with a link to some of your music and we’ll pass the message on.
