As a follow-up to their breakthrough successes in 2010, The Good in Goodbye captures the duo’s growth and musical maturity. Their distinct take on iconic Americana-inspired up-tempo melodies beautifully contrasts with their breathtakingly sweeping and personal lyrics, creating songs that blend nods to Lucinda Williams and Gillian Welch with radio-friendly flecks of The Court-Yard Hounds.
The duo has sold-out venues across North America and Europe, had the prestigious distinction of touring with Stuart McLean’s Vinyl Cafe, and has shared stages with contemporaries such as Chantal Kreviazuk, Ron Sexsmith and The Indigo Girls. With their newest effort, Madison Violet prove on they’re among Canada’s brightest singer/songwriters.

Mad Dog Folk in association with Beverley Folk Acoustic Roots Festival 2012 presents Martin Carthy who for more than 40 years has been one of folk music’s greatest innovators, one of its best loved, most enthusiastic and, at times, most quietly controversial of figures. His skill, stage presence and natural charm have won him many admirers, not only from within the folk scene, but also far beyond it. Trailblazing musical partnerships with, amongst others, Steeleye Span, Dave Swarbrick and his award-winning wife Norma Waterson and daughter Eliza Carthy have resulted in more than 40 albums, but Martin has only recorded 10 solo albums, of which the much anticipated Waiting for Angels (Topic TSCD527) is the latest.

Stacey Earle and Mark Stuart met for the first time 1991 at a songwriters night in Nashville TN. They knew that night it was one of them things that are just meant to be. Stacey Earle’s first show was on an arena stage in Sydney, playing rhythm guitar in her brother’s band, Steve Earle & the Dukes, on “The Hard Way” tour in 1990. Stacey appeared on Steve Earle and The Dukes recordings, The Hard Way 1990 ,Shut Up And Die Like An Aviator 1991 Transcendental Blues 2000.
Mark Stuart went to the finest of Music schools. Mark started his schooling listening and admiring his uncle’s guitar playing and his Dads fiddling. Learning and listening to the greats, Chet Atkins, Merle Travis, John Fogerty, The Beatles and many more Players and singers of all genres.
Mark still somehow found the time to work on his own music recording his solo record and touring. And the love of his new family, Mark as well spent some time in the Dukes in the 1990s. Like Earle, he recalls it as a time of glamour: appearing on “The Tonight Show with Jay Leno,” and MTV.
“I had someone tuning my guitar, strapping on my guitar,” he said. “Now we carry our stuff three flights up in the Red Roof Inn.”

You can’t keep these girls down! Bluegrass with sweet harmonies and commendable forays into hot jazz and old-time swing.
The Toy Hearts are one of the UK’s hottest acoustic acts right now, their style of music neatly placing them at the forefront of the resurgence of interest in folk and Americana music. 2010 saw this hard working band touring across the UK, Europe and the USA.
One of our most outstanding gigs of 2010. These girls, Hannah and Sophia, and dad Stewart are a force to be reckoned with. The vocals, musicianship, and overall outstanding quality of their music was immense. Trust me!
The vocals are pure and the musicianship is top-class… This group is going from strength to strength and I would recommend this album to all bluegrass fans’.
- David Knowles, Maverick Magazine, Oct 2010.

The boy from New Jersey is back at Brighton’s very own “House of a Thousand Guitars”.
Willie’s gig at The Greys back in April was one of the highlights of our year and we are so glad to have him back for a third helping.
Nile is a songwriters’ songwriter. No less a personage than Lucinda Williams has said of him, “Willie Nile is a great artist. If there was any justice in this world, I’d be opening up for him instead of him for me.” And he’s never been more eloquent than he is now. Lou Reed hails Streets of New York as “a great album,” while Graham Parker calls it “a real gem—stirring melodies, passionate vocals, intriguing lyrics…every track a winner.”
He played with his good friend Bruce Springsteen at his show at Giants Stadium in E. Rutherford, NJ, and in 2009 he played the second last song of Springsteen’s final concert of his tour, which was in Willie’s hometown of Buffalo at HSBC Arena. Nile joined the E Street Band for the cover of Jackie Wilson’s “Higher and Higher”.
