David Nelson, Ian and Hayley Liz Harrington and Andy Mathewson A night of new acts. We have David (or Nelson as he likes to call to be know) and his fine trio; and Andy and Liz to entertain us with some excellent ragtime blues. Edd Keene Ben Humphreys Matt Tanner Edd puts the phrase 'one-man-band' into an amazing new context, layering just about every instrument you can think of into some brilliant musical creations. He is joined by the delightful Kay and birthday boy of the moment Mr Matt Tanner. Amanda Loh Lindsey Dolbear Time for some more up-beat, lively, pop-rock from Lindsey and, at the last minute, the lovely Amanda... :o) Steve Morano Mark Alder Steve and Mark last played at the Corn Stores during the Reading Fringe Festival: they are both powerful and talented singer-songwriters.

Greg will be playing some brilliant finger-picked numbers on the National Guitar, and Jason will power us through some excellent Delta to New Orleans blues. Dexter's Friends Chris, Gav and Marc We'll skip the first Wednesday so that everyone can recover from their New Year's hangover, then get into 2008 with a groove. I'll be doing an extended set, hopefully with violin and saxophone from Marc and Gav; Phil will then get on and funk up your life! :o) Matt Tanner Sophie Henderson The lovely Sophie returns to us from Maidenhead to join the splendid Mr Tanner. They are both excellent performers - not to be missed. Amanda Loh The clarkhammondDuo Notice that this gig is the SECOND Wednesday in November - I blame it on daylight-saving time or something. It will be worth the wait though: from Amanda's husky Country Rock to the clarkhammondDuo's fine Classic/Funk, there is something to delight you all. Andy Raven Dexter's Friends Andy will delight us with fiddle-and-guitar for some highly entertaining folk-rock. And Dexter is back with the electronic wizard of Sunshine Dub Dan Zaire Lindsey Dolbear Getting back into the swing of things: snappy, poppy, rocky, it's going to be a foot-tappingly good night!
