TUESDAY 1 LLOYD COLE (Cabaret show) £15

After years as a hit maker with the Commotions, Cole is now out playing a few solo shows. An engaging performer - wry, self-deprecating, full of anecdotes and hangdog wit.

WEDNESDAY 9 EZIO £9adv/£10door

It’s two lead guitarists in one band, Ezio Lunedei and Mark "Booga" Fowell who together form a perfect unit. And it’s two different kinds of music - at home it’s the perfect studio recordings, on stage it’s breathtaking live performances to which you will get addicted after the first gig you’ve been to.

THURSDAY 10 HOMESPUN plus support (Cabaret show) £12adv / £14door

Featuring: Dave Rotheray of The Beautiful South and Sam Brown.

Homespun enjoy the best elements of The Beautiful South’s unpretentious, however, with this group of musicians and above all, with Sam Brown (Best known for her classic single ‘Stop’), Rotheray has found his writer’s voice. It’s a little bit country, it’s a little bit folk, it’s a little bit pop. In short Homespun is a gem.

FRIDAY 11 THE RESENTMENTS (USA) £10

Featuring: Stephen Bruton, Jon Dee Graham and Scrappy Jud Newcomb

Imagine an Algonquin Round Table with Groucho Marx, Nick and Nora Charles and Lenny Bruce on one side, and Hank Williams, Lightnin' Hopkins and Bob Dylan on the other, and you have the blueprint for a Resentments gig.

The excellent new record ‘My Town’ has a diverse yet seamless weave of Americana, pop, folk and latin-tinged style.

THURSDAY 17 SARAH MASEN (USA ) plus support £6/£7door

With critical and commercial success behind her (songs used in TV show Dawson's Creek), Sarah remain squarely in the mid-tempo pop arena with songs that are born out of everyday observations.

SUNDAY 20 CARMINA (Full Band) £7adv/£8door

''Rootsy, jazz-inflected music of pastoral beauty, elegance and style. Lead singer and saxophonist Pippa Marland is possessed of a wondrous voice capable of enchanting and emoting" Time Out magazine, London

WEDNESDAY 23 NEIL CASAL (USA) (The Rescue Rooms) £8adv/£10door

With seven albums to his name in just over five years, his output is singularly free from filler. Making a welcome return to Nottingham with a full band, Casal is not only a great songwriters but also a tastefully understated guitar player.
