Have a look at the complete line-up, cause Mike forgot to mention another 2 bands:

Do you have a video camera in your diary or the Bluesmoose Fest?
Would be great to see you once again, Pete.

Re: Ben Poole On the Road, In the studio

See word is out about Ben’s debut album, Let’s Go Upstairs:-

On the album seven of the songs are Ben Poole originals, two are co-writes with producer Isaac and three are covers including the Otis Redding/Steve Cropper song Mr. Pitiful and the Anne Peebles original I’m Gonna Tear Your Playhouse Down with which Paul Young had a top 10 hit way back in 1984. Joining Ben on the album are Ben’s regular band-mates Barry Pethers on bass and Alan Taylor on drums, and he’s also joined by Ruf Records recording artist Dani Wilde on backing vocals on six of the twelve tracks. Also featuring Chris Lebon on Cello and Mark ‘Card’ Earl on drums and percussion as well as a handful of other very talented musicians.

Initially available exclusively at shows on the 16 date UK / Holland / Germany tour throughout March and April. Official Release expected in May so if you can’t wait for a copy you better get yourself along to a gig!

UK launch night at The Half Moon in Putney, London TOMORROW night (Thursday 8th March).
Curious to know what the 3rd cover is, but all in all, sounds an intriguing mix.

Friday 21st Sept - The Polish Club, BARNSLEY (01226 288395)
Saturday 22nd Sept - Telfords Warehouse, CHESTER (01244 390090, www.telfordswarehouse.com)

Rare to see Ben up in these parts, but have to say, Sunderland is a bit of a mystery to me. "Venue" is the name of the club/venue - checked it, its on the High St,, next to BrightHouse. Not many seem to play Sunderland.
