Precise rhythms and melodic insight create a backdrop that allows Joe’s vocals and delicate guitar to truly bite through \nCOPPICE COMMUNITY MUSIC \n….I can listen to Joe all day…a great storyteller whose songs paint great pictures in your imagination\, whilst his voice takes you on a soothing journey. He’s also one of the nicest people you will ever meet… \nRED LION FOLK \n  \nJoe’s 6th studio album—GRACE was launched in January 2025\, Joe’s previous album: FRAGILE \, has been critically acclaimed as ‘compelling’\, ‘sensitive’ \, ’thought-provoking’. \nhttps://joebayliss.bandcamp.com/album/fragile \nhttps://youtu.be/6eoMVZglXgs \nwww.joe-bayliss.com \nhttps://www.facebook.com/joe.bayliss2 \n  \nSecond\, Amit Dattani. \n  \nAmit Dattani is a singer songwriter known for his unique brand of roots-driven guitar and striking lyrical originality.

His work spans genres — from delicate acoustic themes and atmospheric underscore to rhythmically driven pieces ideal for trailers or advertising. \n  \n \n  \n2024 saw the long awaited new album from Gren Bartley. Two years in the making\, “Unfold” expands further and deeper into the cinematic folk genre. Somewhere between R.E.M.s Automatic for the People and Nick Drake’s Five Leaves Left\, Bartley has found something entirely of it’s own mind. \n  \nHis 2015 album ‘Magnificent Creatures’ (***** R2 magazine) was given outstanding reviews. With production by Birmingham based Gavin Monaghan (Robert Plant\, Ryan Adams\, Nizlopi\, Ocean Colour Scene etc…)\, the record built on the “constantly outstanding” (fRoots) quality of his previous two records. The album took Gren and his music around the world performing at festivals and venues. \n  \n \nIn 2019 Gren turned to a more stripped back sound of solo performance and wrote and arranged a new album of tunes and songs exploring his love of world music and bottleneck slide guitar. Gren released the new album “Quiet” (***** Northern Sky magazine) to excellent reviews. \n  \n  \nGren Bartley is part of the future of melodic songwriting. Forever evolving and adapting\, and with unmatched guitar work\, he is a modern day troubadour\, using his influences from older folk and world music traditions\, to create truly astounding records. He brings something new and unique to his audience. He is an artist not to be missed. \n  \n★★★★★ – BCR Radio\n★★★★★ – Northern Sky \n★★★★★ – R2 Magazine \n★★★★★ – Northern Monkey \n  \n“He’s invented his own kind of music… and everything about it is class” – BBC Radio \n“Constantly outstanding songwriting” – fRoots \n“Astounding” – KLOF Magazine \n“This chap has a gift” – Living Tradition Magazine \n​ \n“Will be heard more often once people realise just how good he is” – Northern Sky \n  \nAdmittance: £12.00 (Advanced) – £14.00 (On the door) \n  \n \n \n

SUMMARY:Paul Cowley
DESCRIPTION:Singer-songwriter Paul Cowley crafts heartfelt country blues from his Brittany barn\, blending classic influences and modern storytelling. \nThe Mississippi River doesn’t run past Paul Cowley’s granite barn in the rolling French countryside but his acoustic country blues flow deeply there just the same. \nWhen Paul says his love of one of the most basic and beautiful of all blues styles grew out of his life in Birmingham\, he’s talking England\, not Alabama. \nThe blues came late. In his early 40s\, with his jazz-guitarist uncle’s steel-string guitar\, inspired by Lightnin’ Hopkins’ Coffee House Blues album. “It was like flipping a switch\,” he says\, on hearing Hopkins’ music\, and the hard-wiring that had been part of his early trade as a builder now carried the musical currents of the Delta. \nThe fact that Paul had never been to Mississippi\, Chicago\, or any of the traditional sources of this unique music\, didn’t matter. The blues came calling. \nInitially\, Paul took that guitar\, some short-lived guitar lessons from his teenage years\, plugged in his new blues influences\, and became his own country bluesman — a singer\, songwriter and storyteller with a flair for turning the long and winding road of his life into carefully crafted musical adventures. \n“It was a revelation to me and the beginning of an enduring passion for acoustic blues and particularly country blues\,” Paul says. “I like songwriters and storytellers rather than flash technical players.” That puts some of the giants of country blues in the past century among his influences: Players like Hopkins\, Rev. Robert Wilkins\, Fred McDowell\, Mississippi John Hurt\, Blind Willie McTell\, and others. \n#image_title\nIn Birmingham\, Paul sharpened his musical skills\, and was instrumental in forming the The Sutton Blues Collective. The club booked acoustic blues performers such as Guy Davis\, Doug MacLeod\, Steve James\, Del Ray\, Mary Flower\, Watermelon Slim and many more over a ten year period. \nThe blues highway beckoned\, and after about ten years of music in Birmingham\, Paul carried his century-old American country blues from England to another country\, moving to southern Brittany\, in France. \nOf course\, the country he picked is part of his story. He left Birmingham for a rural setting in Brittany\, where he records in his granite barn – acoustic and country in the same space. \n“It has a great natural sound perfect for the low production value approach that I like.” It’s where he has recorded his last four albums and provides a home base for his travels in France\, England & Belgium. “I tour all year round all over France and generally do two tours a year in the UK. It is a constant adventure and voyage of discovery.” \nHe’s been busy creating his music in that “natural” studio. His last two albums – Just What I Know and Long Time Comin’ – made “albums of the year” on Gary Burnett’s highly knowledgeable and readable blog\, Down at the Crossroads. And Just What I Know from 2018 made Burnett’s “20 Best Acoustic Blues Albums” of the decade from 2010 to 2019\, taking its place among some of the best. There’s a new album in the works. \nThe title song from Paul’s most recent album\, Long Time Comin’\, celebrates both a conclusion and a beginning. It “references my musical journey that started more than two decades ago\,” he says. “When I started tentatively all those years ago\, I had no idea of the path I had embarked upon. It’s a wonderful adventure\, hopefully one that will continue for years to come. \nOne line from that song succinctly sums up Paul Cowley’s continuing musical journey: “I got my mojo\, I found my voice\, I’m singin’ the blues\, It’s the natural choice…!” \nBio by Jim White (Florida)\, The Blues Roadhouse Blog \n  \nVideo\nPaul Cowley YouTube Channel \nhttps://bromsgrovearts.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Paul-Cowley-One-Way-Ticket-Live.mp4\nQuotes\nJim White-Roadhouse Blues: \nCowley’s music lives in the fertile borderlands connecting genres! \nIn a world obsessed with flash and immediacy\, Paul Cowley has cast his perceptive “Long Shadow” on a record that values patience\, craft and honesty. It’s the exquisite work of an artist completely at ease with himself and his musical vision! \nPaul Cowley’s richly imagined and thoughtfully executed music is a pleasure on multiple levels. \nGary Burnett-Down At The Crossroads: \nTimeless\, classic – sounding bluesy songs that will have broad appeal. \nSeurus Og-At The Barrier: \nA troubadour\, happy in his own scuffed boots. \nAdmittance: £8.00 (Advanced) – £10.00 (On the door)

SUMMARY:Foxpalmer's Fern and SAMduo
DESCRIPTION:An evening of rock\, Americana style folk and lush indie from Fern from FoxPalmer and the blues\, jazz and soul with SAMduo\n  \nThere’s something about a song that can stop us in our tracks.

With a unique mix of rock\, Americana style folk and lush indie\, Fern is a striking sound\, as captivating as it is different. \n“A strong comparison can be made between Fleetwood Mac and Foxpalmer\, sharing in their haunting vocals and catchy guitar lines…I strongly recommend getting this album.” The Voice Magazine \n“…Fern showed a fantastic voice with some very good acoustic playing reminiscent of Tracey Chapman…” Ravenheart Music Festival review\, Fireworks Magazine \n“This is a lady with an immense amount of talent”. Garry Foster\, WCR FM The Unchained Show \n“Full of longing and a barely suppressed sensuality\, the material cuts to the bone and touches both the soul as well as making you want to move your feet. With a rare intelligence and craft\, the band are destined to fill larger and larger halls\, buoyed doubtless by plentiful radio plays as they provide a welcome alternative to some of the soulless mass produced music we’re fed. Your only option is to immerse yourself in their warm and wonderful world.” Breakthrough Acts 2022\, Get Ready To Rock website. \n \nMartin and Sandy from SAM band were a hit when they performed on our stage in 2026 and will be back performing songs drawing on their love of blues\, classic soul\, jazz and singer songwriter genres.

SUMMARY:Tom Martin - Acoustic Roots/Celtic Soul
DESCRIPTION:Born and raised in Belfast\, Northern Ireland\, Tom Martin came of age at a time of strife and violence\, when “The Troubles” were raging. He plied his trade as a boxer\, but found he was more a poet than a warrior. As a young man he set out\, armed with a guitar and a handful of songs\, to explore the world and make his mark as a musician and lyricist. \nWorking at a variety of jobs – busking\, construction\, truck driving and even grave digging in the Midlands of England\, Tom crafted his songs and honed his musical skills\, weaving the people\, places and life situations he experienced into musical poetry – essentially and perhaps instinctively following in the ancient tradition of the seanchaithe – itinerant bards of Ireland whose stock in trade was verse\, song and musicianship. \nHis travels have taken him far afield\, from the wilds of Kenya to the streets of London\, throughout Europe and the British Isles\, to the Mississippi Delta and the bayous of Louisiana\, through the mountains of Virginia and into the heart of New York City. \nHis motto: “Keep on keeping on.” \n\n“Tom Martin…Widely regarded as one of the finest guitarists to come out of Ireland\, but primarily a brilliant songwriter of longstanding cult status…Easy to listen to\, hard to define with a melodic touch of Paul Simon and lyrical insight of a John Prine\, but with a sound and a songwriting skill that is undeniably his own”  Belfast Telegraph \n\n________________________________ \n\n“Tom is a consummate musician and composer who hails originally from Ireland. Decades of performing have honed his skills on guitars (both acoustic and electric) as well as mandolin and harmonica. Known both for his exquisite finger-picking and slide guitar skills\, Tom also has a vast repository of musical knowledge stretching from his Celtic roots and traditional music right through the back catalogs of some of the giants of 20th Century Folk and Rock and beyond. Equal to that is his prodigious output of original songs\, each one allying songwriting finesse with passion and eye-opening truth.” (www.worldmusic.co.uk) \n\n_________________________________ \n\n “The highly experienced and accomplished Tom Martin is one of the region’s finest exponents of the kind of high quality songwriting that\, for want of a more suitable title\, is often called folk…Martin’s range is much greater than that label might suggest\, encompassing anything from country\, blues\, Celtic\, soul or even Latin\, according to the needs of each particular song.  Comparisons with the likes of Paul Simon and Ry Cooder will give an impression of strong\, enjoyable melodies set against lyrics of sensitivity and power:  a combination that’s both enjoyable and moving.”  (Birmingham Metro) \n\n \nTickets: £10.00 (Advance)\, £12.00 (On The Door)
