\n
\nGIG ONE<\/strong>
\n
\nDown at The Malt Cross<\/a><\/strong> this Thursday, you can expect a bunch of incredible Nottingham artists thanks to Under The Tree<\/a><\/strong>.
\n
\nMO MORRIS AND THE STRUGGLING BAND<\/a><\/strong> will be opening the night with some Country & Bluegrass vibes. With Mo\u2019s honest, optimistic songwriting and warm, soothing voice; the band manage to inspire and entertain, all through the medium of music.
\n
\nTWELVE<\/a><\/strong> are up next, whom you may recognise a bit, as they used to be known as CHARM OF ACHILLES<\/a><\/strong>. Well, the infectious sounds of their previous incarnation have been beefed out with a few new members, and now they’re making even bigger sounds than before. We’re sure you’ll be hearing plenty more of them in the coming months, so make sure to catch their performance!
\n
\nNext up we have the incredible Folk stylings of LEAH SINEAD<\/a><\/strong>. With her enchanting voice and deep, heartfelt lyrics that tug at the heartstrings; Leah demonstrates an exciting, refreshing take on the popular genre. Molly & Jack<\/strong> from Lincoln will also be performing.
\n
\nFinally we\u2019ll have GEORGE HOLROYD<\/a><\/strong>, who\u2019s Acoustic stylings always bring a crowd to their feet. With distinctive vocals and some very lively arrangements; we\u2019re sure George will put on quite a performance.

\nGIG TWO<\/strong>
\n
\nWire & Wool<\/a><\/strong> are putting on a varied night of entertainment over at Alley Cafe<\/a><\/strong> this Thursday, and they\u2019ve got some great Notts musicians on the lineup.
\n
\nFirst we\u2019ll have UP<\/a><\/strong>, a new duo, whose entire performance is based around \u201cthe young guitar\u201d, the ukulele. They make catchy, sweet songs; and lets face it, who doesn\u2019t like a good old fashioned uke singalong?
\n
\nBETH FRISBY<\/a><\/strong>, the multi-instrumentalist who you\u2019ve probably seen around Notts helping out other musicians, will be taking the spotlight herself on Thursday. Her quirky Acoustic Pop and silky sweet vocals are sure to put a smile on your face.
\n
\nJAMES GOOCH<\/a><\/strong> will be following with his intricate melodies and rock & roll swagger. Armed with just a guitar and his raw, husky voice; James is known for putting on a great live performance.
\n
\nFinally, we\u2019ll have C<\/strong>. Nope, I haven\u2019t missed off a few letters; C<\/strong> is a new artist to the Nottingham scene, so new in fact that all we can find out about her comes straight from the promoters themselves. She\u2019s described as a talented pianist and singer\/songwriter, who will enchant you with her soft melodies and deep lyrics. We look forward to seeing this mysterious lady perform!
\n
\nDoors: 8PM
\nPrice: Free
\n
\nGIG THREE<\/strong>
\n
\nRYAN THOMAS<\/a><\/strong> is launching his new EP “Worries & Troubles<\/em>” next week, so to celebrate he\u2019s putting on one hell of a launch party down at Jam Cafe<\/a><\/strong> this Friday.
\n
\nFor those unfamiliar, Ryan makes some of the most authentic Blues you\u2019ll hear outside of Texas. Seriously, this man manages to craft sounds that transport you fifty years back in time, and give you a sudden craving for bourbon. With his slick guitar licks and husky vocals, he\u2019s made quite a name for himself as a live performer, and we\u2019re looking forward to seeing this new EP in action!
\n
\nRyan\u2019s also got some great support behind him for the launch too. TOM MCCARTNEY<\/a><\/strong> will be opening the night with his youthful take on the Blues. Despite having just a guitar to accompany him, Tom has a BIG Blues sound, which we\u2019re sure will go down a treat at Jam Cafe<\/strong>.
\n
\nThe sweet, Folky tones of ANYWN WILLIAMS<\/a><\/strong> are up next. Anwyn has become a big part of the Nottingham music scene recently, gigging all around and turning lots of frowns upside down with her almost Joni Mitchell esque sound. She\u2019s one to watch for sure!
\n
\nHEAVYHEADS<\/a><\/strong> will be last up before Ryan. The duo are the perfect example of how just two voices harmonising can create something very special. WIth easily relatable songs, and a knack for a catchy melody; we\u2019re sure these guys will set the tone just right for Ryan\u2019s performance.

\nDoors: 8PM

\nP.S<\/strong> The battle rap craze that is Don\u2019t Flop<\/a><\/strong> is coming to Rescue Rooms<\/a><\/strong> this Saturday, and it\u2019s shaping up to be a huge event! We didn\u2019t include it in our Top Three<\/a><\/strong>, as it has almost sold-out, and it\u2019s \u00a325 a ticket. But, if you\u2019re lucky enough to get a ticket, you\u2019ll get to see both BRU-C<\/a><\/strong> and YOUTHORACLE<\/a><\/strong> battle amongst some huge names in the battle-rap scene. For more info on Don’t Flop, make sure to check out our media dad LeftLion’s<\/a><\/strong> article on the craze<\/a>. Big up Nottingham!
