Nick and Michelle are an acclaimed UK songwriting duo known for their captivating vocal harmonies and exquisite acoustic guitar playing. Their original songs have earned them widespread acclaim.

For Mike Silver this is a rare local gig. Having been in the business for over 50 years Mike has seen it all. Life has informed his songs which are are of longing, love and loss, perceptive and thoughtful, with haunting melodies and heart stopping lyrics.
He is a sublimely accomplished acoustic artist who sings and records a series of thoughts and feelings that are special and magical. His music addresses every day issues without being trite. Ad to that a voice that is as warm and inviting as the fire in the fireplace on a cold winter’s night, Mike is an outstanding treasure amidst the crowd. Mike’s Website
In the words of Cerys Matthews of Radio 2 “Sublime delivery, Go and see him”
