Review of Hannah Aldridge plus Support: Ellisha Green

Elisha Green came on first and played for around 40 minutes .She was very friendly and appreciated the audience reaction.She played and sung very well and is a very talented 7/10.Next on was Hannah Aldridge.Hannah was amazing .She is a brilliant song writer and her guitar playing was outstanding.I was that impressed I bought a copy of her vinyl album Gold Rush.

Review of Caroline Spence & Support: Dan Hartland

Caroline has an incredible and rare talent as a singer and songwriter. She performed a great selection of her woderful songs with a couple of covers from Gram Parsons and Bruce Springsteen. The venue is excellent for showcasing vocal performances. An excellent evening.

Review of John Craigie & Support: Izzie Derry

Every part of the night was a solid 10/10
Izzie Derry was great awsome voice and great original songs
John Craigie was amazing. he had the room in tears through laughter and beautiful song writing and i still cannot believe he has done a UK tour... P.S also a really nice guy to talk to
The venue was warm comforting and the staff were very friendly only bettering the experience of the whole night.

Review of Erin Rae & The Meanwhiles plus Support from Ashland

My first time visiting Thimblemill Library as a venue and certainly won't be my last, I thought the shape of the building helped create a great sound. I was already looking forward to see Ashland as I had seen them previously, unfortunately Kathryn had lost her voice ( I hope she makes a speedy recovery) so Dave had to fly solo and he did a magnificent job with his vocals being very easy on the ear and somewhat reminiscent of Ben Watt's vocals of Everything But The Girl Fame.
We were then treated to two sets by Erin Rae and The Meanwhiles, who I had no previous experience of, but will certainly be keeping an eye out for future tours of the UK. My stand out track of the evening was Rose Colour, but it is fair to say that Erin's voice transcends the angels and ably supported by her band she brings a music that defies categorizing which will surely bring her more support this side of the pond.

Review of Wild Ponies plus Support: The Lost Notes

Stunning sets by the Wild Ponies and support The Lost Notes. Great venue, really friendly atmosphere.
