Acoustic Ladyland
Tuesday 4th July
The Lemon Tree
Tickets 12 (8 concessions & Regulars)
Doors Open: 8pm
Show Starts: 8.30pm
Acoustic Ladyland are the most exciting new British jazz group to emerge in years. Already with a solid following among jazz cognoscenti, they also attract a wider audience that is as in tune with The White Stripes, Franz Ferdinand or The YeahYeahYeahs as it is Coltrane, Wayne Shorter, Ornette Coleman or Monk. The band have been developing their sound over the last four years, drawing from these and older influences such as Hendrix, Led Zep, Captain Beefheart and Gang Of Four.

Devendra Banhart
Devendra Banhart + Vetiver
Sunday 3rd September
The Lemon Tree
15 (10 concessions & Regulars)
Doors Open: 7.30pm
Show Starts: 8pm
Having released his debut album in October 2002, 'Oh My Oh My', Devendra quickly followed it up with the acclaimed full-length 'Rejoicing In The Hands'and companion piece, 'Nino Rojo.'Often sketches that weren't recorded in a proper studio environment, Devendra's magic started to work its way in to many hearts. Be it live or on record, he was fast proving to be something of a special talent.
Cripple Crow, his fourth album and his third for XL Recordings, was released in September 2005 and is his most formed record yet. Recorded at Bearsville Studios in Woodstock, NY with the aid of regular sidekick Andy Cabic, Noah Georgeson and Thom Monahan joining Devendra in the studio, it found him continuing his extraordinary growth as a writer, vocalist and musician. Warmly received by an ever-increasing audience of critics and fans alike, Cripple Crow showed them that he's still very capable of surprising and delighting them.

good avatar by the way...

Roddy Woomble and friends
Tuesday 25th July - The Lemon Tree
Tickets 15 (10 concessions & Regulars)
Doors Open: 7.30pm
Show Starts: 8pm
Born in 1976 in the west of Scotland, Roddy travelled extensively through his childhood, living in France and the United States before settling in Edinburgh to study photography, where he met his Idlewild band mates. After stints in both London and New York City, Roddy now lives in Glasgow.
Idlewild are well known for their musical journey and evolvement, from the loud abrasive punk rock of their early records to the country and folk leanings of their last offering - 2005's 'Warnings/Promises' (which saw them headline the second stage at the Cambridge Folk Festival). Always very vocal about his love of traditional Scottish folk music as well as groups such as Fairport Convention and the Incredible String Band, Roddy has decided to take time out from Idlewild to collaborate on an album's worth of songs that take these influences and mix them with Idlewild's trademark soaring melodies and thoughtful lyrics.

New Adem album
Just listening to the new Adem album, and I'm glad to say its excellent.
I totally fell in love with 'Homesongs' and was praying that this one would be a worthy follow up.
Yay! it is!
though brace yourselves, there's drumkit on it, which isn't bad, just different.
-
this ones quite good, but make sure you get the free version, not the 30 day trial of the one you have to pay for.

i think technical skill is a different thing from being a good musician. you can be the worlds greatest guitarist but still be a poor musician imo. a good musician is someone who listens to what's happening around them and works to the music not to their skill. a band is a group effort and not a showcase for solo's. if a guy doesn't know his instrument very well but what he can play fits the style of the band then there's no problem. people can learn as they go but a band lives and dies on how the members fit together.
so technical skill gets a thumbs down but the ability to listen to music around you and play to that gets a thumbs up
exactly!

If it's authentic honky tonk country you want...
Corb Lund and the Hurtin' Albertans
Sunday 26th March
The Lemon Tree
Tickets 12 (8 concessions & Regulars)
Doors Open: 7.30pm
Show Starts: 8pm
While most country acts wouldn't know a horse from a hearse, Alberta's Corb Lund comes from four generations of Canadian ranchers, and is a former rodeo rider. That authenticity oozes through his songs of cowboys, drinking, gambling, trucks and oilrigs both in the way they're written and how they're played by his brilliant band in classic boom-chikka-boom style. Despite the traditional surface sound, Lund's superbly crafted lyrics reflect the contrasting elements of his life experience, blending a Western upbringing with a decade on the indie rock scene with his previous group, the smalls.
'A delight in the vein of the best honky-tonk recordings of Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, and Jerry Jeff Walker but also influenced by the story-telling style of Marty Robbins, Ian Tyson, and Johnny Cash' Billboard
