SUMMARY:Louis Brennan
DESCRIPTION:London-based Dubliner\, Louis Brennan\, is a singer-songwriter in the folk tradition. His folk however aren’t the field hands and travelling minstrels\nof yore\, but the repressed middle managers and ennui-ridden urbanites of late-stage capitalism. They populate tales of bad sex\, half-drunk\ncommutes and interpersonal claustrophobia delivered in Brennan’s cracked baritone\, at times embarrassingly intimate\, at times spuriously broad\, peppered with pitch-black humour. \nBrennan has supported award-winning artists such as Hannah White and Arborist\, forging a reputation on the roots music circuit as part of a loose collective of some of London’s finest songwriters and musicians\, selling out the iconic Wilton’s music hall as part of a songwriter’s circle and appearing at two sold out shows at London’s Jazz Cafe in tribute to the late\, great John Prine. \n‘A master storyteller with a voice like rolling thunder’ – GQ Magazine\n‘His ability to twist and turn a simple phrase can render the most innocent line into something utterly heartbreaking’ – Clash Magazine\n‘Someone capable of turning the bleak into beautiful and relatable’ –Gigwise\n‘His wry tales manage to make that which is moribund sound full of life’ – R2\n“There are moments in life when a song just stops you. From the very first second to the second it ends\, all you can do is listen\, caught under\nit’s spell. When it feels like the song fills the air around you\, and all you can do is breathe it in” – HOLLER \n\n\nEvent Details\nDoors Open at 7:00PM\nFrom 7:30PM to 9:00PM

SUMMARY:Mark Waistell - Singer-Songwriter
DESCRIPTION:‘Mark’s voice is soft\, clear\, smooth & distinctive; his lyrics are evocative of a life’s experiences… his fingerpicking guitar is sophisticated… the\nunderstated playing is beguiling and vocals as clement and serene as a dappled golden water-meadow… Beautiful!’ – FolkCast \nMark Waistell sang and played a bit as a student and then life and the necessity to earn a living stepped in and he didn’t pick up a guitar in earnest for 30-odd years. \nA desire to “have another go” led to a new guitar and after a period of re-learning how to play\, Mark took three weeks away from work and wrote twenty songs. To his amazement\, he soon found himself in a studio for the first time with the well-known acoustic producer\, Mark Tucker (Jethro Tull\, Fairport Convention\, Show of Hands\, Ralph McTell etc.) supported by an impressive “band” of famous names of the Acoustic and Folk World including Phil Beer (Show of Hands) on violin\, Gerry Conway (Fairport Convention) on percussion\, Spencer Cozens (John Martyn and Joan Armatrading) on piano and Barney Morse-Brown (Duotone and Imagined Village) on cello. The album\, appropriately named “Latecomer”\, came out in 2012\, had excellent reviews and Mark did some gigs and radio appearances\, which were well-received. Then he had to go back to the day job once more. \nLockdown gave him time to write again and soon he had more than 60 new songs. Twelve of these found their way onto his second album\, “For A Sonnet Or A Shilling”\, which came out at the end of 2023. Again produced by Mark Tucker\, this album also features the violin of Georgina Leach (Mary Chapin Carpenter\, Seasick Steve) and the cello of Barney Morse-Brown (Duotone) once more. \nMark has now left the day-job and in 2024 and 2025 played at folk clubs\, folk festivals\, literary festivals\, charity concerts and acoustic venues around the UK from Penzance to Newcastle. A third album of original songs\, “With A Fine Disregard”\, came out at the end of 2025 \, featuring again the wonderful violin of Georgina Leach and produced by Mark Tucker. He will be touring this album through 2026 and 2027. \nSamples of music and videos of performance are available on all the usual platforms: Spotify\, Bandcamp\, Amazon Music\, Apple Music\, Youtube etc. \n\n\nEvent Details\nDoors Open at 7:00PM\nFrom 7:30PM to 9:00PM
