Mike Reinstein, Roger Stevens, John Forrester

Robb Johnson's Irregular Records is the go-to independent record label for the very best modern songwriting.

Tonight they'll be showcasing three of their finest artists.

Mike Reinstein has been writing and performing songs all his adult life. Back in the 1970's he was in a band called Doris playing folk clubs and colleges. Following her demise, he set forth on a career path that included delivering false teeth, writing reviews for Melody Maker and City Limits, cold calling and being a dramatherapist on acute psychiatric wards. These days he works as a music teacher across Brighton in primary and special needs schools.

Roger Stevens' new album, The Position of Jupiter, delivers an eclectic mix of thoughtful lyrics, good melodies and more than a dash of Roger's quirky humour in an example of contemporary folk at its best.

One of the UK's busiest working poets (publishers include Macmillan, A&C Black, Frances Lincoln), Roger lives in Brighton and France.

John Forrester needs no introduction to friends of the club, being bass player in both Robb Johnson and The Irregulars and The Singing Loins.

As a solo performer he sings songs of travel, adventure, lust, discovery, friendship, love and weather.
