Hazel O'Connor

Hazel O'Connor

A musical marriage that combines Hazel O'Connor's unique and unforgettable voice with the extraordinary crystalline jazz/blues musicianship of celebrated Irish harper Cormac De Barra bound together by the special guitar and fine low whistle playing of Fionan de Barra.

Melanie

Melanie

Melanie has performed and recorded since the 1960s seeing a staggering 80 million records. Her warm and passionate voice has graced the great stages of the world - the first rock soloist to perform at Carnegie Hall and at the Metropolitan Opera House.

Fairport Convention

Fairport Convention

Fairport Convention are often credited with being the first English electric folk band. Formed in April 1967, with Simon Nicol, Richard Thompson, Ashley Hutchings and Shaun Frater, Fairport rapidly developed from playing cover versions of American 'west coast' style music to an individual style which melded rock music with traditional English tunes and songs. Bedevilled by numerous personnel changes they temporarily disbanded in 1979 but reformed in 1985. Since then, they have enjoyed stability and continue to tour and record regularly.

Nine Below Zero

Nine Below Zero

Nine Below Zero are one of Britain's most respected R&B bands, famous for their no-frills, punchy and direct approach. Frontman Dennis Greaves, with his rasping vocals and stinging guitar work, is joined by fellow-founder Mark Feltham on harmonica, and a driving rhythm section of Gerry McAvoy (bass) and Brendan O'Neill (drums). Their gigs are energetic affairs: non-stop, thrill-a-minute parties.
