FEBRUARY

Weds 8 Feb - Acoustic Night with Taylorandthemason, 8pm onwards
Taylorandthemason are, simply put, a couple of girls singing and playing guitars... and sometimes mini Casio Keyboards. Based in Manchester, they are singer-songwriters Becky Taylor (twiddly guitar bits/vocals) and Sally Mason (other guitar bits/vocals/tiny wee keyboard). With influences varying from Motown to Joni Mitchell, expect an eclectic mix of acoustic sounds with extremely close harmonies and powerful vocals.

Here's what some people were paid to say about them:
"Oh you're like two Joni Mitchells on speed"
"Like a female version of The Everly Brothers"
“Taylorandthemason took me by surprise, amazingly close harmonies”
"Loved the new and bright sound. Funny and kept me rocking in my seat"
"Great sound from two great girls! Great to hear such a full on delivery!"

With influences as diverse as Jimi Hendrix, Led Zepplin and Bob Marley, Carrie describes herself as "a folk loving singer having a go at living the dream". Firmly settled in Manchester, she originates from the Forest of Dean - "a magical and enchanting forest in the South West of England where the sheep roam free and an inherent love of trees is instilled in us all at the bosom.

APRIL

Weds 10 April - Acoustic Night with Lauren Housley, 8pm onwards
Lauren played the Jockey in January at short notice. She is such an exceptional singer, we were keen to invite her back at the earliest opportunity to show off her talents to a wider audience!

A Yorkshire girl, Lauren is a soulful and mesmerizing vocal artist. Her voice is reminiscent of the late, great, Eva Cassidy but at times can be as raw and powerful as artists such as Gladys Knight, Alicia Keys and even Janis Joplin. Lauren has been working along side producer and musician, Thomas Dibb, to develop her new material.

Combining soulful harmonies and pure melodic mastery, thei...r style of songwriting draws influence from Corinne Bailey Rae, Jill Scott and Amy Winehouse as well as classic songwriters like Stevie Wonder and Carole King. Her sound can be described as ‘soul infused pop’; with new tracks varying from heart felt ballads to funky, grooving numbers.

As a performer and singer, Lauren has an extremely natural aura. She has an overwhelming ability to connect with songs and lyrics, and express them with pure honesty; touching her audience emotionally. Lauren’s soulful yet energetic headlining performance at a local event in Manchester, back in November 2009, landed her with a support slot for The Brand New Heavies at Manchester Academy. Lauren was a new face on the scene for Manchester music lovers but the response to her songs and performance was truly staggering.

Lauren has been performing as a freelance vocalist with various bands, DJs and producers nationwide for over 4 years and is now based in Manchester. After creating a name for herself in the North East and South Yorkshire, she now has her sights set on conquering the Manchester music scene. She is already gaining interest from producers and DJs from across the region, along with an expanding fan base.
