Amnesty International Fundraiser featuring 3 of our very favourite artists plus special guests. Come and watch some great new bands and raise money for a worthy cause at the same time.
Jamie Ley was born in the eye of a hurricane and he swears that the wind was whistling in C sharp major that day. Swapping between a variety of instruments including piano, ukulele and guitar whilst wooing audiences with his Buckley-esque vocals, Jamie Ley’s soulful creations certainly stir the emotions. He has recently been featured on Radio 1?s BBC introducing show. Read a great interview here: http://www.forfolkssake.com/interviews/6958/interview-jamie-ley
"Ranging from the top end of Americana through to highlights of Irish folk, Ryan O'Reilly and his cohorts are making serious waves on the underground blues/folk scene. If you could imagine The Pogues slow dancing with Solomon Burke to the beat of a Dylan drum you might well be getting close imagining quite what this highly promising youngster and his outfit bring to the table. They have a sound all their own," - Camden Crawl "Truly astounding harmonies and mesmeric live" - Communion Records
