BASKERY

Wednesday 13th November​ / 8pm / £18.50

Three Swedish sisters, Greta,Stella,Sunnita Bondesson playing a combination of classic roots, southern blues and Americana but with a twist of rule breaking punk which turns this much loved style of music on it’s head. Thumping kick drum, killer bottleneck banjo and sweet wailing harmonies, it’s the totally devine sound of Baskery. 

Relentless touring throughout the world, including appearances at most of the major festivals, and their exciting live shows has earned them a large, loyal fanbase. One of the highlights of the Greystones gig calendar, it’s great to have them back. 

“Frenetically energetic… a distinctively individual band sound primed to hone in on the mainstream” Mojo

BARBARA

Thursday 14th November​ / 8pm / £15

Song writing brothers from Hove hand picked by Paul Weller himself to be the support on his sold out 2024 spring tour. A bit of 70’s US AM radio, a dash of English music hall, the effortless catchiness of a Broadway musical, a sprinkling of sequinned power pop, luscious Disney strings and glorious golden harmonies. What’s not to love? In 2022 Neil Hannon asked them to be the support for The Divine Comedy UK tour and a year later they played 14 shows supporting Haircut One Hundred.
Fun, fantastical and theatrical. Add some Barbara to your life!
“Insanely talented. See them, see them, see them!” Phil Jupitus
“…so up my street. Very poptastic!” Neil Hannon, Divine Comedy
“Barbara are wonderful” Chris Difford

BLUE ROSE CODE

Friday 15th November​ / 8pm / £20

“Yes he’s back by popular demand. that is me. one of my favourite live acts” T
Blue Rose Code is a band led by Edinburgh-born, Liverpool-based singersongwriter Ross Wilson, at once, one of Edinburgh’s favourite sons and still one of Scotland’s best kept secrets.
Blue Rose Code’s music has been described as “Ravishingly beautiful, a blaze of Caledonian Soul, muted jazz & poetic recitation” (Uncut), having an “almost religious intensity and sincerity. Wilson makes widescreen soul in the spirit of Van Morrison (The Times), and “One of the best live acts around…”(AmericanaUK). Their previous albums include With Healing Of The Greatest Kind (2020), The Water of Leith (2017), The Ballads of Peckham Rye (2014) and most recently, 2023’s reflective compilation, Ten Years Grace.
Wilson’s career has seen him work with the great Danny Thompson, Eddi Reader, and most recently, co-write with English folk royalty Steve
Knightley and BlueRoseCode’s records have featured Karine Polwart, EwanMcGregor, and Nashville Gospel legends, The McCrary Sisters, along with some of the UK’s finest jazz Musicians. Wilson has opened for VanMorrison, toured with The Proclaimers, DeaconBlue, and Blue Rose Code have been featured live on TV and Radio as well as his songs being used in the French prime time show, Cherif, as well as Hollyoaks and feature length film, The Low Road. Last summer saw the band play main stages at Cambridge Folk Festival, Shrewsbury festival, Tonder in Denmark, and BlackDeer. The experience of playing to the big crowds with the big band has developed the Blue Rose Code sound into an unmissable live show and that energy has been taken into the studio for Bright Circumstance.

ROB HERON & THE TEA PAD ORCHESTRA​

Sunday 17th November​ / 8pm / £15

Rob Heron and The Tea Pad Orchestra have been gleefully trampling over genre boundaries for over a decade now chucking Western Swing, blues, country, rock n roll, soul and more into their musical gumbo but mostly sounding just like themselves.
They’ve toured throughout the British Isles and across Europe playing everywhere from Glastonbury and Cambridge Folk Festival to village halls, barns and all points in between and done support tours for big name Americana outfits such as Pokey Lafarge, The Dead South and Sierra Farrell, appeared 3 times on BBC Radio 4’s Loose Ends and had their music played by everyone from Marc Riley to Huey Morgan.
The band constantly add new flavours to their sound: Rob is a vinyl obsessive always fired up about some new passion-calypso, boogaloo or whatever this week brings-but mostly enthusing about country and blues 45’s. That eclectisism and search for new sounds certainly feeds into their music.
“Hank did it. So did Sinatra. So did Tom Waits. So did John Lee Hooker. Mix these influences with a healthy dose of youthful enthusiasm, a real passion and ear for detail, sheer authenticity and a good slug of Scotch and Bourbon, and you mind find the results are very much to your taste. This band certainly are to mine.” Mark Whatt, Folk Radio
“…a quintet that shuffles and boogies with panache. Infectiously good humoured.” Uncut Magazine
“Amazing musicians who play with passion and a sympathetic regard for the history of the genre.” Maverick Magazine
“That’s one hot band!” Huey Morgan Radio 2
