The incredibly talented Ada and her bandmates in La'l Tethera played a stunning set at the club at back in June (video on Youtube here), and next Thursday she headlines the night as a solo fiddle player and singer. A nomadic childhood grounded Ada's music in folk traditions from across Northern England and she has appeared in collaborations and festivals in the UK and internationally, as well as playing with La'l Tethera and her other band Pholkamine, who combine folk with metal, jazz, rock and ska. > "What a bloody amazing player" - Molly Tilston Ada WoodShare your videos with friends, family, and the worldYouTube Check out Ada online here and her Youtube channel here We will have floor spots from 7.45 before the main act, so get down early if you want to play.

Dariush Kanani is a London-based fingerstyle guitarist and singer, one of the best of his generation. He fell in love with the old British folk guitar records of the sixties as a teenager, then went out and found the people who actually made them, learning directly from the greats and carrying the tradition forward in his own hands. His debut album, 'Mr Troubadour' (2015), was a collection of entirely original songs written on the road and recorded in studios and pubs across Yorkshire, and it was dedicated to the memory of his friend and mentor John Renbourn. https://dariushkananimusic.bandcamp.com/album/mr-troubadour He continues to tour the UK and Ireland, both on his own and as a duo partner and special guest on other artists' tours. Along the way he's played tribute concerts at Cecil Sharp House and appeared at major folk stages. Dariush is also a sought-after guitar teacher and he leads workshops that pass the craft on to the next generation of players.
