Greetings Music Lovers
Yet another week of marvelous music has passed by so quickly, but the good news is that there are 7 more days ahead filled with special events as well as our regular nights.
The next week
WEDS NOV 12TH
8pm - SPECIAL SESSION BY THE MERCURY MEN!!!
Jamie Lawson
Jamie Lawson is not just a singer but also an exceptionally blessed and affecting one, whether with his regular band (it features musicians Joe Peet, Tom Clues and Ben Woolacott) or in a solo and acoustic setting. His voice and songs have proven to work equally beautifully and well whether in a tiny indoor venue like London's 12 Bar Club or outdoors before 10,000 people
Sarah Russell
Sarah Russell is a singer songwriter from the South of England where she lives by the sea. Her voice and music are both beautiful contradictions, a voice that is haunting, melancholy and sometimes happy. Songs that are delicate yet strong, vulnerable yet assured, happy yet sad…
Alice and The Majesty
Alice and the Majesty is the nom de guerre of singer songwriter Alice McLaughlin, created to encompass both herself as sometime solo artist and her various guises with collaborators. Tinged with folk and blues, Alice performs gritty, soulful, pop songs that cross mainstream appeal with leftfield spirit. On stage she evokes the fierce and the fragile, with passion and spontaneity at the heart of her lyrics.
Thomas J Speight
Touring the UK continuously it's great to have Thomas stop by and play at The Regal Room with us. His minimalist sounds are a powerful combination that will leave you tingling in your seats.
FRI NOV 14TH
Lotte Mullan
A promising young singer/songwriter Lotte Mullan's appealing mix of blues and country exudes an inviting and relaxed ambience, and her unusual take on love songs is particularly rewarding dealing not with the bitter emotions of a broken relationship, but concentrated instead on the gritty realities of dividing up a cherished record collection! Lotte's astounding voice -- blessed with the most gorgeous, husky and sultry tones and sounding not unlike a young Bonnie Raitt.
Lindsey West
Currently recording new songs with Darius Kedros, producer to Mercury Music Prize nominee Kathryn Williams Lindsay plays solo and with her band at acoustic showcase nights in London and Surrey, including Curious Generation @Troubadour, the Electroacoustic Club @ the Slaughtered Lamb, and Earmusic @Monkeychews. She is looking forward to releasing new material in the coming months.
Something Sally
In their home country Norway, Something Sally have played some of the most recongised venues such as Parkteatret, John Dee and Bla. It is always a full stage when Something Sally gets on stage. With references to Fleetwood Mac and Sally's voice reminiscent of a mix of Annie Lennox and Sade, Something Sally has created their own distinct alterna-pop sound.
Dom Scheggia
Born and bred west london boy Dom Scheggia first picked up the guitar aged 16. After years of playing in various bands here and in the states as a guitar player the last few years have been more about singer songwriting. This current project cullminating in a debut album, working title 'Wheels' soon to be released online
