EDWINA HAYES/ CARRIVICK SISTERS/ JAMES KEELAGHAN TRIO
(With MC David Swann) 

James Keelaghan is probably the most lauded singer-songwriter on the Canadian folk music scene, with numerous JUNO Awards to his name (Canada's prestigious music awards) and has toured internationally to much acclaim for almost 25 years. His insightful songs, coupled with his rich deep voice, and amazing accompaniment from some seriously virtuoso musicians, means that you can never leave a James Keelaghan concert without being both moved and uplifted! "one of canada's leading singer songwriters" Maverick Magazine. www.jameskeelaghan.com

Edwina Hayes is a wonderful singer-songwriter from Driffield, East Yorkshire, who spends her time between Nashville and her Yorkshire base, as a prolific writer and touring artist.She has toured with the likes of Nanci Griffiths (who recorded one of Edwina's original songs), Jools Holland and many more, and has collaborated with the likes of Boo Hewardine and Clive Gregson to name but a few. Her smoky voice and pared back guitar style show a soulful americana lilt and Edwina's version of Randy Newman's 'Feels Like Home' featured last year in the New Line Cinema major motion picture My Sister's Keeper (June 2009) starring Cameron Diaz and Alec Baldwin. www.edwinahayes.com

Just out of their teens, The Carrivick Sisters, twins Charlotte and Laura have grown up playing and writing music together. Their unique style shows their strong bluegrass influences without obscuring their English roots. With tight harmonies that only siblings can achieve, they perform their original songs on guitar, fiddle, mandolin, dobro and clawhammer banjo. 2009 saw them nominated for the BBC radio 'Young Tradition' Awards where they wowed the judges with their wonderful musicianship and good humour. These are one of the top folk acts of the future so make sure you catch them now! www.myspace.com/thecarrivicksisters
