Clubhouse Newsletter #51

Good Evening,

Hope you are enjoying your weekend, here's all the latest... 

A Clubhouse Christmas…

The festive season is approaching rapidly, and we’ve finally made our plans to see out the year! Join us on Saturday 21^st December at The Betsey Trotwood, Farringdon, London. 

We’re kicking off at 7pm and have sets from The Pete Gow Band, Dave Banks and Paul McClure and The Local Heroes plus some of our dearest musical friends joining us throughout the night – it’s free entry and there will be a chance to contribute to a local charity tackling homelessness.

Find the event on facebook for more details, it would be lovely to see you there and raise a glass!

UK Americana Album of the Year?

You might have seen that Pete Gow’s ‘Here There’s No Sirens’ has been nominated for UK Americana album of the year in the AMA UK awards. We’re looking forward to the show and Pete will be taking the band and full string section to Hackney at the end of January, so if you are in London for the conference make sure you came and say hello!

AUK nominations

It’s that time of year and the good folk at Americana UK are holding their annual ‘Readers Poll’ giving you a chance to vote for your favourite stuff in 2019. We don’t need to remind you that Pete, Paul McClure and Luke Tuchscherer all released brilliant albums and it’s been a great year for music and live events so why not head over and let AUK know what you think! VOTE

The Ramblin’ Roots Revue 2020

We are lucky enough to have the inside track on the bookings for The Ramblin’ Roots Revue and we’re getting excited for next year’s event already! The three day indoor celebration of roots and Americana music is happening across the weekend of 24^th/25^th/26^th April 2020 and it’s going to be bigger and better than ever, not least because the lovely people at Bucks SU are currently installing and incredible new state of the art sound system designed and supplied by the people who have re-fitted the Royal Albert Hall, we can’t wait to hear it!

Early Bird tickets (£40 for the entire weekend!!) finish next week so get in now to save some money!

10^th Anniversary

It seems unbelievable but next year it will be 10 years since our first release!! The compilation of UK Americana music entitled ‘Divided By A Common Language’ came out in 2009 and with over 50 projects under our belts since then we’ve never looked back… well not often anyway! We have a big year planned to celebrate with new signings and some special events so watch this space, and most of all thank you so much for all your support over the years, it is truly appreciated.

That’s all for now, hope to see you on 21^st December at the Betsey, it’s going to be a lot of fun!
