Joe Brown Joe has worked as a rock and roll singer and guitarist for more than five decades. He was a stage and television performer in the late '50s, a recording star in the early '60s, made six films, presented a radio series for the BBC, appeared on the West End stage and has written an autobiography. In recent years he has again concentrated on recording and performing music, playing two tours of around 100 shows every year and releasing an album almost every year. Brown was first spotted in 1958 and went on to have Top 10 hits in the early '60s and was voted 'Top UK Vocal Personality' in 1962. He plays acoustic and electric guitar, ukulele, mandolin and fiddle. In 2009, Brown was presented with a MOJO lifetime award for his outstanding contribution to music and in the same year was awarded an MBE. |

4Square This Manchester-based quartet play and sing a melodic blend of tunes and songs, both traditional and self penned. Since their humble beginnings in a freezing cold farmhouse near Rochdale in the Winter of 2006, the band's music has gelled and matured into the funkiest, most energetic and powerful music you'll hear on the British folk music scene today. They play with technical prowess that defies their age, as well as fiery energy, and always a touch of fun. |

Laura Zakian A true jazz vocalist, Laura employs her voice as a musical instrument, improvising and moulding the melodic line to lend each lyric the best possible effect. She studied in New York with Nancy Marano from the Manhatttan School of Music, and then performed with some of the leading jazz musicians in Rome, appearing at the Umbria Jazz Festival. Laura is now gaining prominence in the UK with the release of three CDs, 'Nobody Else But Me' nominated as CD of the Week in the Observer newspaper and 'Just One Of Those Things' as heard on Michael Parkinson's BBC Radio Two show. Re-working neglected standards to jazz interpretations of contemporary tunes, Laura's highly accessible set boasts an eclectic and ingenious repertoire. Her third album 'About Love' is probably her finest and most assured work to date. |
