| Posted: 03 Feb 2012 06:55 AM PST  Tuesday 8 May, 8.45pm Stage 2 Tickets £10 in advance, £12 on the door Named after a 15th century composer, Busnoys is very much a 21st century band. Fronted by vibraphonist Martin Pyne, the trio create a rich, evocative soundworld, full of freewheeling melodic interplay and evocative atmospheres, one moment groovy and swinging, another atmospheric and tender. Virtuosic bassist Jeff Spencer is the driving force behind the exciting Resonation Big Band while drummer Trevor Davies has long been very much in demand for his subtle touch and sensitivity. "Busnoys offer an intelligent, imaginative combination of vibes, bass guitar and drums... This is a genuinely contemporary record that should appeal to new as well as established jazz fans." Jazz UK.

Williams is a slide guitar wizard from Georgia, USA. Their plan was to record an album using vintage mics and equipment live in just 5 days. The aim was to capture the sound of two guitarists and singers from completely different backgrounds working together in harmony and after a day and a half they realised it was finished and that the result was even better than they'd hoped for. The album is being released in April 2012 and Boo and Brooks will be touring it here.

| The Martin Harley Band at The Stables Posted: 03 Feb 2012 06:57 AM PST  Supported by Kola Wednesday 9 May, 8.45pm Stage 2 Tickets £10 in advance, £12 on the door With balalaika, electric lap steel guitar, double bass and three part harmonies this multi-instrumental band set themselves apart from the norm. Their British Americana sound, influenced by delta blues and gypsy swing, has produced a style of songwriting that feels as comfortable as an old pair of shoes you just can't throw away. Performances at Glastonbury's Acoustic and Avalon stages cemented their popularity on the acoustic scene and built them a strong fan base. Drumrolls For Somersaults, the band's third album, reached number one in the Itunes UK blues chart last year. "Their latest album is a mature and intelligent masterpiece of Americana roots music."

Hear a familiar tune played in the styles of the old masters and an i-Pod, two famous pieces played simultaneously (one with the right hand, one with the left), plus his "translation" of the lyrics of Waltzing Matilda, already a comedy classic. "As funny as any, wittier than most, and, uniquely, a concert pianist of international stature...He stands alone, in a class of his own."
