SUMMARY:Zaid Hilal UK Tour 2026
DESCRIPTION:Spellbinding Palestinian folk-rock-and beyond\nZaid Hilal is a Palestinian singer and composer from Bethlehem\, carrying forward a living musical heritage shaped by memory\, resistance\, and everyday life.\n“As Palestinian artists\, we don’t only preserve heritage\, we build on it. We create new music that grows from it\, music that reflects our present reality and the struggles we continue to live through.” Zaid Hilal\nThis will be a solo act with backing tapes including Zaid’s field recordings of Elders’ remembered  songs of resistance.  The venue is a famous community venue with a particularly fine beer selection.\n\n\nMichael Loader will be joining Zaid on stage to add a tonic of trumpet to some of the songs and tell stories from Palestine and the Arabic world.\n\n\nZaid’s 2025 UK tour was a great success.  Here’s what one punter wrote at the Elementary Festival \n“There are moments when music becomes more than sound\, it becomes collective prayer. This set at Elementary Festival deserves its own story. When Zaid took the stage\, his voice carried more than melody\, it carried memory\, longing\, resistance\, and love. As we chanted back “Hala lala layya” with him\, we weren’t just singing we were remembering. Rooted in ancient folk song\, these words echo a love so powerful it would be “written on birds’ wings. Carried by wind. Etched in tears” In that moment\, we sang not just for one another\, but for all who long to be free. For Palestine. For the ones whose songs are interrupted. For the voices that rise even when silenced. It was joy… It was resistance. It was ancestral rhythm meeting modern grief. And it was holy. May we keep singing. May we never forget. May our voices carry around the world. How wonderfully blessed to be present with this”  Maggie \nIn the Middle East Zaid is a rising star with over a  million youtube hits and multiple thousands of followers.  See instagram @zaidhilalofficial\nAnd his thriving youtube channel.  Also his website https://zaidhilal.com \n\n\n\nEvent Details\nDoors Open at 7:00PM\nFrom 7:30PM to 10:00PM

SUMMARY:Newberry & Verch
DESCRIPTION:Growing up\, Joe Newberry and April Verch absorbed traditions of home and hearth – in his Missouri Ozarks and her Ottawa Valley of Canada. Although they are on the road much of the year\, the two are fond of saying that they are rarely homesick\, because their music means they always have a bit of home with them wherever they go. \nNewberry comes from a family of singers and dancers. He took up the guitar and banjo as a boy and learned fiddle tunes from great Missouri fiddlers. Verch grew up listening to her Dad’s country band play for dances in the Ottawa Valley. She started step dancing at age three and fiddling at age six. \nIn a Newberry & Verch show\, delighted audiences see first-hand the roots of their music\, their love of performing\, and their strong musical connection. Original songs join timeless classics. Stories warm the heart\, and give audiences a chance to understand where the music comes from. Lively fiddle and banjo numbers combine with traditional dance steps to illustrate happy times when people made their own fun. \nWhether it is the power of two voices lifted in harmony\, or the sound of traditional tunes calling people to get up and move\, these two masters of tradition put on an unforgettable show. And\, when their feet kick up the dust in perfect rhythm and those two voices become one\, Newberry & Verch help remind folks why this music existed in the first place. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e1mS7FyNves\n\n\nEvent Details\nDoors Open at 7:00PM\nFrom 7:30PM to 9:00PM

SUMMARY:Steve Pledger
DESCRIPTION:Front Room is thrilled to welcome Steve back to Weston after his wonderful live set last year. Don’t miss this visit as last year’s proved very special indeed. \nSteve Pledger is a multi-award-winning recording artist with an enviable reputation as a talented and dynamic performer. With writing that ranges from fragile reflections on love and loss to blistering commentaries on present circumstances\, his songs pack an emotional punch\,\nboth on record and on stage. \nCast in the mould of the classic troubadour\, there are inevitably shades of those who ultimately have defined the role\, and yet his blend of blistering social commentary\, stark honesty\, and fearless tenderness have marked Steve out as someone unafraid to create his own place in\nthe singer/songwriter landscape. Discernible influences include Cat Stevens/Yusuf Islam\, Loudon Wainwright lll\, Graham Parker\, Don McLean\, Springsteen\, and others. \n“Poetic\, knowing\, clever\, thoughtful & melodic; the world would be a far better place with more of this stuff.” (8/10) Americana-uk\n“An object lesson in the craft of contemporary song writing.” fRoots Magazine\n“(‘Somewhere Between’) casts Steve as a protest singer\, up there with the likes of Billy Bragg\, Phil Ochs and Ewan MacColl.” Neil King\, FATEA Magazine\n“Extraordinary! If you haven’t found Steve before\, you have now!” Folking.com \nwww.stevepledger.co.uk\n\n\nEvent Details\nDoors Open at 6:30PM\nFrom 7:00PM to 8:30PM

SUMMARY:Songdog
DESCRIPTION:After last year’s spellbinding performance\, Front Room are thrilled to welcome back Songdog. Don’t miss out this time around! \nSongdog are a trio centred around Welsh songwriter Lyndon Morgans. He is joined by longstanding fellow Songdog regular Karl ‘Pod’ Woodward\, who provides keyboard and the distinctive Mellotron sound that peppers the latest album\, plus new violinist Bethan Frieze. \n‘Mirabilia Mundi’ was released in 2025 on Junkyard Songs and is the current album from Songdog. Over the course of the record’s ten songs Lyndon continues his exploration of favourite themes: time passing and the struggle to make sense of a disappearing world; a foreboding of things ending and a looking back at long-lost glory days. There are nods to the earliest Songdog albums woven throughout for those who know them. There’s a new producer\, too\, Al Steele (also known as guitarist with The Korgis). \nPrevious albums include 2022’s ‘Of Gods And Men’ (which came out under Lyndon’s own name)\, ’A Happy Ending\, ‘Joy Street’\, ‘Last Orders at Harry’s Bar’\, ‘A Life Eroding’\, ‘A Wretched Sinner’s Song’\, ‘The Time Of Summer Lightning’\, ‘Haiku’ and ‘The Way Of The World’ and were released to\ngreat reviews from the likes of Uncut\, Mojo\, The Mirror\, Maverick\, RnR and Americana UK amongst others. Lyndon’s tracks have featured on BBC Radio 2 and BBC 6Music plus other regional and international shows\, he recorded a session for Tom Robinson’s show and his music has been\npraised by Bruce Springsteen and Robert Wyatt. \n“Ten songs\, ten peerless evocations of place\, people and time passing\, where every word is exactly right and every line conjures up an unforgettable image or memory.. This will be the album of the year.” 5* RnR (Jeremy Searle)\n“A gifted\, fearless songwriter …sculpting heart’s-done-time melancholy\, reverie\, black comedy and poetry into extraordinary shapes.” 4* Mojo (James McNair)\n“These are elegies for art and bad behaviour that felt immortally good\, an old idea of bohemia defiantly hanging on.” 8/10 Uncut (Nick Hasted\n“There lingers a feeling that Mr Morgans is a little bit star crossed. It is a wonderful world and Morgans has travelled through it possessing a big talent.” Americana UK (Andy Davidson)\n“Mortality\, loss and failed dreams loom large\, through Morgans’s deeply poetic words and the simple but intoxicating melodies.” Fatea (Mike Davies)\n“Broken-hearted canvases filled with elusive\, poetic narratives.” Arts Desk (Thomas Green) \nwww.songdog.co.uk\nhttps://youtu.be/0AkjJUlFVpM\nhttps://open.spotify.com/album/31zD8aMW1uHLBVlVE0A1VJ\n\n\nEvent Details\nDoors Open at 7:00PM\nFrom 7:30PM to 9:30PM

SUMMARY:Gabriel Moreno and The Quivering Poets
DESCRIPTION:“An Offshoot of Leonard Cohen and Neil Diamond. I love it!” (Cerys Mathews\, BBC6) \nGabriel Moreno is Gibraltarian singer-songwriter\, currently based in London. An irresistibly engaging performer\, he combines a latin exuberance and passion with a rare lyrical calibre (he is also an accomplished poet\, with 12 books published to date). Performing on nylon string guitar and accompanied by The Quivering Poets\, he creates a live experience that has been described as ”Taberna Folk” – at once both energetic and intimate\, anarchic and absorbing. \nHe has thrilled audiences across South America\, the USA and Europe\, including recent sets at UK festivals Wilderness\, The Great British Folk Festival and Purbeck Valley Folk Festival\, and has been championed by the likes of BBC 6 Music’s Cerys Matthews\, with his sonorous baritone and poetical lyrics often seeing him compared to such luminary wordsmiths as Leonard Cohen\, Nick Cave and Bill Callahan. \nMoreno’s unique artistic voice lies in the meeting and fusion of different identities. Born and raised in Gibraltar\, a British territory bordering southern Spain and just 8 miles from Africa\, he has since lived and performed across the world\, absorbing influences from music\, literature and art everywhere he went. Now considered one of the most compelling and distinctive artists in London’s thriving folk and roots scene\, he was previously the longtime curator and host of the legendary Lantern Society folk club\, and in 2022 was awarded the title of Cultural Ambassador of Gibraltar. \n“Moreno’s warm voice\, embroidered by The Quivering poets accompaniment\, engrosses and soothes. Meditative one moment and despairing the next\, these unhurried songs offer spiritual succour and solidarity\, a balm for our trying times”\n– Morning Star ★★★★★ \n“The songs tread a path between Folk\, Latin and cabaret torch song. It’s an oddly effective mix which forms the perfect bed for Gabriel Moreno’s distinctive voice -a blend of Leonard Cohen\, Peter Sarstedt\, and dare I say it\, Rex Harrison.” -(Trevor Raggart\, RNR magazine) \nhttp://www.gabrielmoreno.co.uk/\n\n\nEvent Details\nDoors Open at 6:30PM\nFrom 7:00PM to 8:30PM

SUMMARY:Gren Bartley
DESCRIPTION:Gren Bartley is a UK singer-songwriter and guitarist working somewhere between cinematic folk\, intimate acoustic songwriting and finely detailed guitar work. Across a run of acclaimed releases\, he has built a reputation for records that are atmospheric\, melodic and unmistakably his own. \nHis 2015 album Magnificent Creatures (★★★★★ R2 Magazine)\, produced by Gavin Monaghan\, received outstanding reviews and helped take his music to festivals and venues across the UK and beyond. In 2019 he released Quiet (★★★★★ Northern Sky Magazine)\, a more stripped-back collection drawing on folk\, world music and bottleneck slide guitar\, which earned further critical praise. \nHis new album Sunsets\, Circles and Waves is released on 15 May 2026. Recorded live in complete takes with no overdubs\, it captures the warmth and intimacy of a real performance while deepening the reflective\, immersive quality that runs through his work.\nGren Bartley writes songs with the instinct of a folk artist and the detail of a craftsman. Drawing on older traditions without sounding trapped by them\, he has developed a style that feels warm\, immersive and entirely his own. \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
