Album Review: O'Hooley and Tidow - Silent June (No Masters)20 February 2010 - 12:00amI think I know Belinda O'Hooley reasonably well, if not quite so much personally, then certainly through her songs. Yes I've bumped into her in clubs and at festivals over the past few years, where we've chatted together half a dozen times and shared a joke or two. We've played at the same birthday parties, sat in the same audiences, propped up the same bars; I've even had a pint with her...By: Allan Wilkinson |

Claude Bourbon20 February 2010 - 12:00amThe Wombwell Wheelhouse once again drew a packed audience tonight for the first appearance at the venue by French-born guitarist Claude Bourbon. The classically trained guitarist grew up in Canton de Vaud, Switzerland, where he developed a distinctly multi-styled approach to finger-picked guitar, encompassing everything from classical and Spanish flamenco influences to jazz, blues and folk, with...By: Allan Wilkinson |

Kris Drever17 February 2010 - 12:00amIf there's one thing that irritates Kris Drever, it has to be the Weatherman. Rejoicing in the wind and the rain, Kris Drever opens his new solo album, the eagerly awaited follow up to BLACK WATER, with the sole self-penned song on the record that also incidentally provides the album its title, MARK THE HARD EARTH. Kris believes that we are manipulated into believing that inclement...By: Allan Wilkinson |

Judy Collins8 February 2010 - 12:00amFor some of us, the introduction to acoustic music came at a time when the sound of the electric guitar had got just about as loud (Townsend), as aggressive (Townsend, Hendrix) and as sneerfully complicated (Zappa) as it was likely to get. In 1969 the Woodstock Festival certainly marked the height of rock culture of the time, but there amongst the likes of The Who, Ten Years After, Canned Heat,...By: Allan Wilkinson |

Madison Violet30 January 2010 - 12:00amThe newly extended Wheelhouse in Wombwell opened its doors once again tonight for a sell out appearance by one of Canada's best loved harmony vocal duos, Madison Violet. The venue itself has been slightly extended, with the addition of an alcove to provide more room, not specifically to cram more people in, but to make the Wheelhouse even more comfortable for the handful of loyal...By: Allan Wilkinson |

Tom Russell22 January 2010 - 12:00amBarton-upon-Humber stands on the south bank of the Humber Estuary, in the shadow of the southern tower of what was once the largest single-span suspension bridge in the world, that was until sixteen years on from when it was built, when slightly bigger ones began to pop up all over the place. Barton's guest visitor tonight noted that it reminded him of a similar structure that spans the...By: Allan Wilkinson |

Pamela Wyn Shannon20 January 2010 - 9:11pmA certain name has appeared on publicity material for the Barnsley House Concerts for what seems like months now, as well as on a poster for last years' hugely successful Wombwell Mad-Fest, but due to unforeseen circumstances, including visa problems and the cursed snow, fate has dealt blow after blow for those of us eager to see Pamela Wyn Shannon at the Wheelhouse, a venue which seems tailor...By: Allan Wilkinson |
