Little Rock…

a little roll, and all the good stuff inbetween made for another fine night at Shakespeares last night in the company of Bob Collum & The Welfare Mothers, Big Convoy and Micky Denny. Thanks to them and all of you who came along too.

There’s a swift return to Shakespeares for WagonWheel Presents… This coming Thursday March 5th we welcome Good Luck Mountain to Sheffield.

A double bill…

made for double the fun last night in the company of Amelia Curran and Dennis Ellsworth. Indeed when you add in an opening set from Ash Gray it all came to an exceptional evening of live music at The Greystones. Thanks to them and those of you who were there to enjoy it with us.

WagonWheel Presents… returns to The Backroom on Thursday March 26th with another Transatlantic double bill. We welcome Josh Harty and the Kelley McRae duo back to Sheffield. M&J Blues open the show. Ticket details can be found here.

If we’re all famous…

those at The Greystones with us last night certainly enjoyed more than 15 minutes of being so. A fabulous set from Jeffrey Foucault and Billy Conway after a fine start to the show from J. Tilley. Thanks to them and you if you were one of the lucky ones there.

WagonWheel Presents… returns to The Backroom this Sunday, February 8th with a double bill of Canadian singer/songwriters when Amelia Curran and Dennis Ellsworth bring their respective new albums to Sheffield.

Maybe we’ll see you then?

Off we go again…

in to another year of shows. Thanks to those who braved the weather to enjoy an evening at Shakespeares with us that surely would have warmed the coldest of cockles. Richard Kitson, Tom Baxendale, Blue Rooster and Growin’ Al Gordon provided a great introduction to 2015 for WagonWheel Presents…

Next we return to The Greystones on Tuesday February 3rd with Jeffrey Foucault and support from J. Tilley of the recently defunct Grassoline. You can read the full preview for this show by clicking here. Indeed we’re at The Greystones twice in the coming week, as Sunday February 8th also finds us there in the company of Amelia Curran, Dennis Ellsworth and Ash Gray.

So that’s three shows to come this month, maybe we’ll see you at one of them?

Well that’s 2014 all done…

and indeed dusted. A fine year that saw WagonWheel Presents… host 25 shows (including our 200th) featuring 60 different acts including 13 new faces to our stage. There were a few returning old friends we’d not seen since the days of The Grapes, two EP launches and a full day of Tramlines. A pretty good year all in we think.
