Clubhouse Newsetter #46

Happy New Year! We’ve taken down the decorations in the Clubhouse and are getting ready for what’s shaping up to be a fantastic 2019.

Our first offering this year will be the debut solo album from Case Hardin frontman Pete Gow. The album is entitled ‘Here There’s No Sirens’ and will be released on Friday 5^th April. Produced by The Dreaming Spires’ Joe Bennett, it is truly a sensational piece of work and further enhances Pete’s reputation as one of the UK’s finest songwriters. We can’t wait for you to hear it. More news and details of a very special launch show to follow.  Meanwhile, the songs for Case Hardin’s next album are written and the band will be back in the studio before the year is out.

Our sister festival The Rambling Roots Revue is back for its’ 3^rd outing this year with an incredible line-up of International artists being announced even as we type. Already on the bill are The Rockingbirds, The Rosellys,  Austin Lucas, Dan Stuart, Malin Petterson and Yola with more names, including a host of Clubhouse acts, being added all the time.

Tickets for the 3 days festival in High Wycombe, Bucks are still just £40 for the weekend and available here.  Don’t delay, the word is out….
