"Sheer bloody genius sublime, impassioned songwriting" Sandman Magazine

"We have seen the future of acoustic guitar playing, and it is called Jon Gomm" Blues Matters

"One of the world's most successful, gifted and inspirational guitar players" Acoustic Magazine

"Jenny McCormick is already establishing herself as one of the brightest talents of contemporary folk, but her delicate English rose voice and lightly strummed guitar have more than a few shades of the traditional...she's nothing short of sparkling. Definitely a name to look out for."

Sat 19th May - Piefinger (free)
"Piefinger are a breath of fresh air in this acoustic revival," says Keith Warmington of BBC Radio Bristol. "They write, play and perform with absolute originality. They were one of my favourite sessions of the year."Piefinger have been pulling large and excitable crowds to their London shows for the last couple of years," says the EP review for Acoustic Music website, the Virtually Acoustic Club (www.thevac.co.uk). With their mixture of "wry lyrics, infectious violin pizzicato and a trademark slow build-crescendo-aftershock arrangement, their vocal harmony and counterpoint often scrapes the genius of the Indigo Girls" inspired interplays.

Sat 26th May - John Otway & Wild Willy Barratt
Tickets are going quickly!!! £8 ticket or £10 on the Door... Tickets are available from the Globe!

>>> A VERY RARE OTWAY AND WILD WILLY LIVE PERFORMANCE <<<

Arriving on the back of punk rock and a gymnastic performance on The Old Grey Whistle Test, his first single, the half-spoken love song "Really Free" soared to number 27 in the UK Singles Chart. It would be his greatest success for some time. However, the song did earn him a five album deal with Polydor Records, who thought he was a punk rather than merely eccentric. His first album, recorded with Wild Willy Barrett, was produced by Pete Townshend but sold only fitfully. The follow up singles fared no better despite some imaginative promotion, which included an offer for Otway to come to a lucky buyer's house and perform the single if their copy was one of the few from which the vocal had been omitted.

Despite that, his live audience remained loyal, due to Otway's manic energy and the probability of physical injury during renditions of songs such as "Headbutts". His autobiography (subtitled "Rock and Roll's greatest failure") was a study in self-deprecation, and his touring continued to sustain him. By 1993 he could draw 2,500 fans to a gig in London and in 1998 4,000 celebrated his birthday with him at the Royal Albert Hall, coinciding with the release of Premature Adulation, his first album of new material for over ten years.

By then, Otway had realised he could use his fanbase, who were in on the joke, to engage in minor publicity stunts. A well orchestrated grassroots campaign saw his "Beware Of The Flowers Cause I'm Sure They're Going To Get You Yeah" voted the seventh greatest lyric of all time in a BBC poll, but his finest moment came in 2002. Asked what he wanted for his 50th birthday, he requested "A second hit". A concerted drive, including a poll, scrutinised by the Electoral Reform Society, to select the track, saw "Bunsen Burner" — with music sampled from the Trammps classic "Disco Inferno" and lyrics devised to help his daughter with her chemistry homework — reach the UK number 9 on 6 October, and earned Otway an appearance on Top Of The Pops, BBC Television's flagship popular music programme.

To encourage fans to buy more than one copy each of the single, he released three different versions. The flip side of "Bunsen Burner — The Hit Mix" was a cover of "The House of the Rising Sun" recorded at Abbey Road Studios and featured 900 of his fans on backing vocals, each of whom was credited by name on the single's sleeve.

Thanks to this second hit he has now been able to release his Greatest Hits album (note the s, he's very proud of it).

Sat 2nd June - Virtuoso (free)
Great clear vocals & sound. Could easily headline at 'T-in the Park'. Fantastic all rounders, stars in the making. Music as it should be…… This Dance/Rock crossover act has a fantastic lead singer and a distinctive sound of their own. Their fan base packed the stage in front of them and rocked to every beat of their set. The band for their part worked the crowd into frenzy to such an extent that fans invaded the set to throw themselves into the crowd and crowd surf…. The encore was justified and they selected one of their best tunes to finish on a high. Well-deserved winners on the night, definitely one to watch out for in the future. "One of the most original acts I have seen, they have a definite star quality about them. I was one of the first promoters to put on the 'Sex Pistols' and I am sure that this band have got the potential to go all the way.

Sat 9th June - Midas + Support (free)

Whether it’s reluctantly getting dragged onto the dancefloor by your girl, dodging fights in a chip shop after the nightclub or drinking too much and falling over, Midas tell stories from their own experiences. Described as fresh and exciting, they take driving vocals and punchy basslines, and blend it alongside a sweeping soundscape of guitars and Korg synths. Gigging extensively since 2003, Midas have developed a reputation as a hard-working band who always deliver exciting and passionate live shows.

Fri 15th June - Latitude present: Orphan Boy + Onions
After a couple of months off we're back with another stellar line up and the return of FREE SWEETS!

Sat 16th June - Curragh Sons
With nearly 200 years of live music between them, it’s no wonder that the Curragh Sons are the busiest band this side of the Liffy. Their influences are many, from Joni Mitchell to New Order and from the Dubliners to Led Zepplin. A mixer of such genres has given the band a hugh following across the UK and Ireland. This has lead to such comments from the likes of Kevin Conneff of the Chieftains who said of a recent performance “Powerful stuff, powerful stuff!”
