Good afternoon to you all! We bring news from the

of jazz, folk and Arab music, are releasing their 8th album, The Whistle Blower.
Gilad has also toured and recorded extensively with Ian Dury &

Songwriter Adam
Beattie, whose distinctive voice ties together an
eclectic mix of ?folk stews and dirty blues', is often seen leading
his band ?The Consultants'. Adam performs varied, emotional shows,
focused around his philosophical musings of the modern life of a
Scotsman living in London. His popular song ?A Song of One Hundred
Years' is a ballad written for Adam's grandfather who lived to be
one hundred.
London based singer-songwriter Brooke Sharkey was raised
between France and England. At the age of 16, her musician Father
gave Brooke the best piece of advice, which was go out on the
street and start busking the first few songs she'd written.
Brooke has lured a considerable audience with her intense and
expressive style, drawing the listener into her ever more narrative
songs with a spacious backdrop of chanson, blues, folk and Latin
music.

Rory
Ellis
Rory is the quintessential Australian Alternative Country artist,
with buckets of talent, heaps of stories to tell, and almost
impossible to pigeonhole. He has performed at major festivals
Australia wide for many years and internationally in Europe and the
UK, having done 9 massive tours here. He's also performed along
side some top names including Richie Havens, Eric Bibb and the
Robert Cray Band.
One reviewer was quoted as saying, "Ellis's marvelously rich and warm voice
would be enough on its own to whisk you away into a reverie, but
when this is allied to his exceptionally well crafted songs, it
makes a potent combination".
Plus ?. We are pleased to
announce the inclusion of the Reggae Roast! Delicious
tastes of the Caribbean mixed with the traditional English roast
dinner, at an incredible price of ?7.50! Chef Tyrone will be
serving you from 12pm. Relax and eat while enjoying some reggae
