DANNY & THE CHAMPIONS OF THE WORLD
After a busy tour in September, Danny and the Champs are back on the road for another run around the country in November to promote new album "Hearts and Arrows" and we're pleased that they still have time to revisit their old haunt of the Windmill where it all began for them a couple of years ago.

THE LUCKY STRIKES
Precocious Leigh-On-Sea lads, carrying on the finest musical traditions of the Thames Delta, and moving quickly on from initial forays in garage-blues towards an impressive melange of roots music and southern rock. Their new album Gabriel, Forgive My 22 Sins tells an archetypal American story as their stylistic options increase.
“Like wayward cousins of The Bottle Rockets” - Uncut
“An easy adeptness at moving back and forth amongst varied styles ... a surprising, but never discordant, collage. a patent intelligence yoked to obvious musical smarts indicates their growing maturity” - Bucketfull Of Brains

BILLY VINCENT
Outlaw folk rock quintet with a cinematic quality set midway between old school spaghetti and Cormac McCarthyesque gore. Chanelling the spirit of Strummer through the likes of Cohen & Cave, and taking influence from the very streets they inhabit to dreams of far off lands, Billy Vincent bring tales of love, lust, ambition & murder. Dark as they are bright, grand & restrained in equal measure, it's a heady & gripping cocktail they christen 'Dirty Folk'.
Billy Vincent's current release the "King Island Coyote" EP will be followed in summer with another sparkling release on Something Nothing Records.
"An extremely impressive debut single…a brilliantly unique piece of folky pop…. pure indie pop joy…" - Altsounds

RICHARD WARREN
Richard Warren returns with a new studio album 'The Wayfarer', released on 17 October 2011 on TV Records, the follow up to his critically acclaimed debut 'Laments'. Heavy driving folk-punk, full of fire and working class pride. Think Tim Hardin meets Alan Vega.
After playing in 90s Heavenly band The Hybirds, Richard Warren recorded solo for Mute as Echoboy, played in Spiritualized, and with Mark Lanegan and The Soulsavers. After numerous other projects he released the unacknowledged masterpiece Laments in 2010; it’s an album imbued with a Jim Dickinson/Memphis vibe and tapping the wellspring of cosmic American music.
“He has a genuine belief in the redemptive power of rock music,taking in gospel, protest folk and country soul. It feels like Alex Chilton passed through the studio on his way out of this world.” - NME
