Tomorrow (Weds 20th May) join us at The Water Rats for an evening with two outstanding folk/Americana singer songwriters Daisy Chute and Ceci Day £12 (£10 conc) advance or £14 on the door

Daisy Chute is a Grammy-award winning singer, songwriter and multi-instrumentalist.. with a mix of Scottish and American heritage, Chute’s roots are transatlantic; her music is best described as folk and Americana, underpinned by her background in classical and jazz

Ceci Day is an English-American singer-songwriter whose music lives between city streets and country skies. Her sound sits in the space between folk, country, rock and acoustic storytelling: a transatlantic identity shaped by a life lived between New York, London and the American West.

S.C.A.M. are definitely the best Skunk Anansie tribute band we've ever seen! hang on a minute....
