Mick Bisiker’s Rack & Ruin / Craig Sunderland |
Craig is a brilliant fingerstyle guitarist who is regularly seen around the folk clubs of Warwickshire and beyond. He has been called the voice of Coventry folk music. If you crave the best of traditional folk, followed by an extra helping of rip-roaring contemporary folk, layered on top of some excellent original compositions, then Mick Bisiker’s Rack and Ruin is the band for you. The standard of songwriting is exceptional, the musicianship is outstanding and the presentation/stage-presence is both professional and joyous. To sum-up, they are simply the best! |

The Lost Notes Plus Susy Wall |
Always a favourite at the club This local group are a real treat! They are (partly) based in Moseley where politics, drunkenness, misery and glee abound. It makes for a great night out! Oli Jobes likes folk, Ben Mills likes jazz and they contend to cover a wide spectrum of music from RnB, funk, blues, country and folk-a fast-paced set that is always high on fun and audience engagement., So be ready for a fabulous evening of fun, dance and music. |

Mad Jocks and Englishmen’s Christmas Extravaganza |
We end the autumn programme with the traditional Mad Jock’s Christmas Extravaganza. As always we have no idea what to expect except a wonderful evening to end the year. Their music includes a blend of contemporary music, bluegrass and country with a generous helping of (politically incorrect) humour. Essential preparation for the rigours of a family Christmas. |
