Amelia Curran tour cancelled *updated*

Due to unforeseen circumstances Amelia Curran‘s upcoming UK tour has been cancelled. Refunds for next Wednesday’s show will be available from point of purchase (refunds should be issued automatically for those who purchased via WeGotTickets). Hopefully the shows will be rearranged for a later date.

On Wednesday night we’ll now be joined at The Greystones by Ash Gray, Blind River Scare, John Batchelor and Adrain Bates. Full details can be found here.

Paul McClure who was due to open Wednesday’s show will now be joining us on Friday August 11th when he opens for Rachel Harrington.

Brighton and Sheffield are…

easily confused, but i don’t think there is any mistaking how good an evening we enjoyed in the company of Otis Gibbs last night, and indeed Boss Caine who got the night off to a fine start. Thanks to them and everybody who came along to a busy night at The Greystones too.

Wednesday June 28th is when WagonWheel Presents… returns to The Backroom for our next show. Joining us then will be Amelia Curran and Paul McClure. Maybe you will too? Full details can be found here.

Some things…

are worth waiting for, and that certainly proved to be the case with The Clench‘s return to live action at The Greystones last night. Not forgetting another two fine sets from Bob Collum & The Welfare Mothers and Andy P. Davison (or as he could well now be known, one half of The Andys along with Mr Dye!) who’d got the night under way. Certainly wasn’t a bad way to begin our run of three shows this month…

which leads us to Friday June 16th when WagonWheel Presents… returns to The Backroom for the visit of Otis Gibbs. Boss Caine will be opening this show, and you don’t want to miss it. Full details can be found here.

A night of firsts…

saw Whitney Rose and her band make their Sheffield debut on their first UK tour, whilst A Prayer Away played their very first show. The one thing that wasn’t new at The Greystones yesterday was a fine evening of music from two great bands. Thanks to everybody that was there to enjoy it with us.

WagonWheel Presents… will be doing it all again on Saturday June 3rd in the company of The Clench, Bob Collum & The Welfare Mothers and Andy P. Davison. Full details for this show can be found here. Good times guaranteed, we hope you can join us again.

A new name…

a sprinkling of new songs, but still the fine show we’ve come to expect from Rachel Ries, who returned to The Greystones last night in her new guise of Her Crooked Heart (complete with Sarah Smout on cello once again). Thanks to Rachel, Sarah, the Torn Sail two for a spellbinding opening set, and those who made it out to support live music on a warm Wednesday night.

It will be Wednesday once again when WagonWheel Presents… is back at The Greystones on May 24th. It’ll be a first visit to Sheffield for Canadian songstress Whitney Rose and her band, with support coming from A Prayer Away (new project from Jody Davies of The Fargo Railroad Co. & King Quentin). You can find a full preview for this show here. Maybe we’ll see you then?

Sunday nights…

that aren’t really Sunday nights are always a good thing. But a Bank Holiday eve in the company of John Statz and The Fargo Railroad Co. is even better as last night at The Greystones proved. Thanks to John, Fargo, and everybody that came along too for another great evening.

WagonWheel Presents… returns to The Backroom on Wednesday May 10th when Rachel Ries comes back to Sheffield with new songs and a new band name, performing now as Her Crooked Heart. Huw Costin opens the show. Full details can be found here. Maybe we’ll see you there?

What he may lack in stature…

and no there isn’t a hole on The Greystones stage, Mr Richard Kitson more than makes up for in quality song writing and the gift of the gab. He can play a guitar a bit too. Another excellent “Evening With…” himself last night, along with guests Joe Solo, Georgina Gilmartin plus bonus offerings from Richard & Georgina’s Recharging Radios project and a cheeky Fargo number to finish off. Big thanks to all who played and everyone that joined us.

Next for WagonWheel Presents… we return to The Greystones on Sunday April 30th when John Statz comes to Sheffield as part of his European tour for brand new album The Fire Sermon. Opening the show will be The Fargo Railroad Co. with an acoustic set. You can find full details for this show here. See you then?
