FRIDAY Night Acoustic at Cirencester’s Kings Head, continues through the summer.

And if the nights get too hot, then the action will move to the venues roof garden.

Friday Night Acoustic launched in July, as a weekly free entry live music event featuring one carefully selected artist/duo from the Folk, Blues, Indie, Country, Instrumental and Americana genres.

The line-up for August is: Friday, August 7: No show.

Friday, Augsut 14: Jess Vincent. On of the most exciting female singer songwriters to come out of the West Country in years, with a magical voice and an exceptional, truly innovative songwriting style.

Jess’s vocal is unique and gorgeous, quintessentially English, and reminiscent of a young Kate Bush.

She will be accompanied by accomplished mandolin and banjo player Reg Meuross.

Friday, August 21: Henry Bateman Henry is a one-man music machine. His style has been influenced by a range of highly credible artists resulting in his unique ability to play sparkling percussive guitar and write and perform his own compositions with a confidence and flair that is truly captivating.

He is disarmingly charming with a warm sense of humour and boundless enthusiasm.

This is a young man who has a brilliant musical future as an entertainer, storyteller, and spellbinder ahead of him.

Friday, August 28: Danny Ward.

Danny uses many guises to showcase his copious musical attributes, as well as being one half of Country Blues outfit ‘Nobody’s Business’ he’s also part of the Bristol based top Americana combo Appalachia.

Danny is self taught in blues guitar and banjo, which he fingerpicks in the old-time style.

His love affair with the Blues began when he was just 8-years old, listening to his dad’s old vinyl collection of Lightening Hopkins, Big Bill Broonzy, Muddy Waters and John Lee Hooker recordings and has continued apace ever since.
