A Return To Gigging – And Plenty Of It!
Alun Parry
Followers of my music will know that I took some time off from doing my own stuff for a while. I wanted a breather from myself. After all, imagine being round me 24 hours a day without escape. You'd want a break from me too.
Anyhow, all of this self-deprecating waffle is to let you know that the break did the trick and I'm back gigging again doing my own stuff……
On the 16th, I'll be playing a benefit for the Palestine Aid Convoy that leaves Liverpool that weekend. It's at Mello Mello on Slater Street and kicks off at 8pm. Please support it and raise some funds for the people of Palestine.
On Sunday 19th September I'll be playing at the official TUC demo outside Lib Dem Conference at the Echo Arena. Come along, give the beige Tories some grief, and hear some speeches and music. More importantly, show the government what we think of their cuts. The demo is at noon.
Moving into October, I'll be playing the Musicport Festival in Bridlington. This is the biggest indoor music festival in the whole wide world. I'll be there on Friday October 22nd and will be on the North Sea stage somewhere around 9ish……..
Man's Ruin (the band I share with Vinny and Gabi) will be playing too, so there's plenty of chance to hear my dulcet tones in one form or another.
See you soon. It's good to be back!

http://www.vingarbutt.com/ " for the uninitiated, Vin offers quite the most emotionally-rounded night it's possible to encounter in the live music arena. One minute your sides will be splitting at his unabashedly comedic persona, the next you'll be jettisoning your own eyeballs in a Geneva Fountain of tears as he performs one of his characteristically heartfelt songs."

http://www.martinsimpson.com/ "There is no doubt that after 35 years as a professional musician Martin is, right now, better than ever…one of the finest acoustic and slide guitar players in the world, his interpretations of traditional songs are masterpieces of storytelling. His solo shows are intense, eclectic, spellbinding and deeply moving. Successfully combines the diverse elements of British, Afro-American and old-timey music. His 15 years living in the US were well spent. In addition his own songwriting has produced some real gems, from the truck-stop epic, "Love Never Dies" to the profoundly moving "Never Any Good" and "One Day".

Words & Music Festival is nearly upon us once more (Oct 7 – 10) so I just wanted to let you know our headliners this year include the wonderful Martin Simpson, Mark Radcliffe and the Big Figures, Fyfe Dangerfield and the lovely Thea Gilmore. If you could point anyone interested in the direction of our website www.wordsandmusicfestival.com they can find out all they'll need to know there.
Just as a personal point of interest Thea Gilmore's new Album Murphy's Heart just got to number 41 in the midweek album chart (I'm on it and everything), and that her show at the festival will be a unique affair quite different and more intimate than the full band line up tour that we will all be taking a short break from to run the festival.
Cheers

'Folk music doesn't get any cooler than Kate Rusby.' Q Magazine The defining voice of contemporary English Folk Music, Kate Rusby's exquisite interpretations of Traditional songs and finely wrought self-penned tunes have won her an audience that reaches beyond the genre. A rare achievement for a folk artist but entirely understandable given Rusby's expressive vocals that invest whatever she sings with irresistible emotional depth. On stage Rusby delivers every time. Her bands never cease to amaze, always comprising the cream of Britain's folk instrumentalists, while her between-song stories and introductions are cut through with a hugely engaging Yorkshire wit. She is truly an artist to be cherished by lovers of good music everywhere.
Kate is visiting Wrexham with an all new line-up and the set will include material from her forthcoming album. Damien O'Kane on guitar, tenor guitar and banjo Kevin McGuire on double bass Malcolm Stitt on guitar and bouzouki and Julian Sutton on melodeon.
