BRAMPTON LIVE 2011

We regret to announce that there will be no festival in 2011. After the cancellation of the 2010 festival we’re still licking our wounds and considering our options. We’re continuing to promote the All Along The Wall project – see below …

ALL ALONG THE WALL ON TOUR

A year after their creative sojourn in a remote farmhouse in the middle of Nowhere, feverishly writing new songs and poems inspired by Hadrian’s Wall, our artists are meeting up again to present a pair of concert performances of All Along The Wall at the end of January.

They start on Wednesday 26 January at the Celtic Connections festival, in the Strathclyde Suite at Glasgow’s Royal Concert Hall. On Thursday 27 January they stop off at William Howard School here in Brampton. Tickets for the Brampton show, priced £12.00 (concessions £10.00), are on sale here, or you can reserve tickets with Carlisle Folk & Blues Club by telephoning 01228 541799 or emailing carlislefolk@aol.com. The stellar line-up features singer-songwriters Jez Lowe, Julie Matthews, Boo Hewerdine, Rory McLeod and Ruth Notman, with performance poets Kate Fox and Elvis McGonagall, plus fiddler Kate Bramley.

Another clutch of performances is scheduled for September 2011 at The Met, Bury (23rd), Biddulph Town Hall (24th) and The Sage Gateshead (25th)

ALL ALONG THE WALL ON CD

“ … by turns highly emotive, wistfully pensive and deliciously witty, All Along The Wall really delivers on its ambitious concept, without any sense of overreaching, and manages by and large to be both enjoyably informative and musically and poetically satisfying.” fROOTS Magazine

“Cruelly denied the showpiece it deserved at the cancelled Brampton Festival, this album has a sparkling collection of songs from some of our best songwriters.” Spiral Earth
