| With
guitar in hand and a talent that combined
amazing vocal equipment, disarming humor,
and a vibrant engagement with life, she was
booked as the first solo pop/rock artist ever
to appear at Carnegie Hall, the Metropolitan
Opera House, the Sydney Opera House, and in
the General Assembly of the United Nations,
where delegates greeted her performances with
standing ovations. The top television hosts
of the time such as Ed Sullivan, Johnny Carson,
Dick Cavett -- battled to book her. After
her stunning performance on his show, Sullivan
goggled that he had not seen such a "dedicated
and responsive audience since Elvis Presley."

NYAAA
were formed in 2004 out of the remnants of
the other bands Mik, Tom and Matt served their
apprenticeships in, and though they're still
only 22,
21 and 20 respectively they've played the
gigs - over 170 in the last 2
years - and put in time on the road that even
major bands couldn't aspire
to - and they continue to do so. They have
supported such famous names as
The Only Ones, Stiff Little Fingers, The Undertones
& New Model Army, and they will be Special
Guests on the forthcoming UK Leg of the New
Model Army World Tour. Their musicianship
and creativity, plus their incredibly accomplished
and energetic live shows, have resulted in
a dedicated international following and a
travelling UK following. (back

Azriel
are a 5 piece hardcore band from Scotland.
They are a pleasant yet brutal mix of epic
clean melodic parts and vocals that are
a mix of screams with some more pleasant
darker vocals... check them out as they
are sure not to disapoint.

24th May 2008 - 7.30pm |
| Andrew
Hurley, Christopher Jones and Danny Law were
once members of a band called "Needless
Alley". Sadly they split but Christopher
found an advert for a singer looking for a
band (Faye Smith). The band started gigging
as télégramme at Christmas
2006. They spent 2007 playing the Birmingham
and Black Country circuit garnering local
support. As a support band they have played
with artists as notable as David Ford, Shady
Bard and Envy & Other Sins. They have
now taken to headlining locally, notably very
successfully at the Birmingham Barfly in January
and April. The members of the band come from
all over the Black Country - Andrew from Walsall,
Danny from Oldbury, Faye from Wednesfield
and Christopher from Dudley.

| Still
in her early 20s, former Llyn Peninsula resident
Duffy is the one forging that path at the
moment, and she's working with some of the
best-known names from the alternative music
scene. Now signed to A&M Records, her
octave-straddling, smoky, soulful voice attracted
the attentions ex-60ft Dolls man Richard Partfitt
and Catatonia's Owen Powell. They put her
in touch with Rough Trade's Jeanette Lee who
became her manager. Lee orchestrated a meeting
between Duffy and Suede's ex-guitar virtuoso
Bernard Butler. Butler, his old musical partner
David McAlmont, and a number of other musicians
have formed the backbone of Duffy's forthcoming
debut album Rockferry, which is due for release
in March 2008. (back
