Doors open 7:30pm.Miles HornFresh from a sold out show at Servant Jazz Quarters last month, Miles Horn is a soulful singer-songwriter with an incredibly warm and powerful voice. Tipped by many including BBC Introducing and credible online tastemakers, there is much more to come from this promising indie newcomer.Paul QuigleyBlind balladeer and spiritual svengali songsmith Paul Quigley is an enigma. Born in East Anglia to a Scouse father and half-Irish mother, Paul grew up in a Britain where disability and being different were either victimised, teased, bullied or simply ignored by an establishment whose only concerns were of survival of the fittest. If you didn't fit neatly in the category of academic high-achiever in those days, if you didn't fit in, you were left on the social scrapheap.His determination to prove to the world that being blind is no barrier to boldness of spirit and a hunger to express the gamut of emotions of the human condition, from love songs to rebel songs, Paul Quigley is a unique voice in the musical firmament whose lyrics, voice and musicality need to be heard to be believed.Jo Ash MusicCaptivating singer-songwriter Jo promises dynamic vocal performances accompanied by expressive piano playing.
