SAM  HEARD + THE SPECIAL K’S indie/rock DOORS 8PM £6/3

A songwriter since the age of 14, Sam is a classically trained pianist but a self-taught guitarist. Since leaving school Sam has travelled around the world, picking up inspiration from conversations and relationships, people and places.

Sam writes all her own material, which she performs both effortlessly and passionately, either sitting at her piano or fronting her band with her guitar. Many of Sam's songs are written in Dublin, a city she attributes with giving her a musical identity and creative independence. Unsurprisingly her musical influences are all great singers and songwriters, from Sandy Denny (who inspired Sam's song "Sandy") to Nina Simone, Cat Stevens to David Bowie.

Bringing back the oldschool, The Special K's are a fresh band ready to explode onto the South coast music scene in 2008.

Addictive lyrics, catchy hooks, the odd guitar solo and Howards dancing make for an energetic, free-flowing live set not to be missed! (Especially when Howard whips out his Harmonica, very sexy :p) Don't miss out, drag your mates down to one of the shows, join us for drinks, you never know, you might have a good time and want to do it all again...

CHRIS SIMMONS + EMILY BAKER + JIA acoustic/alternative DOORS 8PM £6

Chris Simmons has bee described as “beautifully ambitious. One to watch" by Time Out
And "A breath of fresh air. This young man is going to be very big indeed" by The Times, who are we to argue with such accolades?
As for Emily Baker, she has said ‘I always thought that my voice was weird, too weird in fact. But, people seem to like the fact it’s a bit different’ She’s been likened to that of a female version of contemporary songwriters Josh Rouse and Ryan Adams but what really drives her is a deep seated passion for classic songwriting. The Beatles, Carole King and James Taylor with a twist of the bizarre production style of the likes of Jon Brion. Basically speaking, Emily has the ability to pen the kind of tune you won’t forget. She has a fundamental understanding of great songs loaded with soul, her sense of melody is instinctive, her lyrics hooking you in with every syllable. You cannot escape her production nor can you afford to miss her live performances. Get on board: myspace.com/emilybakermusic
