One of our favourite young singer-songwriters, Kitty VR is throwing a big party here in August to launch her new EP ‘All In Her Head’ with a bunch of special guests!

We’re delighted to welcome back this charismatic Scottish pair. Aidan Moffat’s deadpan delivery and humourous poetry has been instantly recognisable ever since Arab Strap emerged in the mid-nineties. Aidan has teamed up with (fellow SAY Award winner and) percussive guitarist RM Hubbert a few times over the years and recorded two excellent albums.

A fantastic triple bill. Charlie Parr returns and this time he’s hooked up with JD Wilkes of the Legendary Shack Shakers and local legend Boss Caine to bring the house right down. This is our kind of party!

Lockeland is straight-up contemporary country with a throwback twist; the trio’s blend of talents complement one another to “go down smooth” naturally and instinctively. The group’s polished, easy-does-it dynamics, intricate three-part harmonies and simplistic, meaningful storylines are its signature.

Dan Webster plays an accessible mix of Folk/Americana and has been building loyal fanbase ever since breakthrough album ‘Diamond Land’ featured on the likes of Hollyoaks, BBC Radio 2 and BBC 1. They finish the summer with a home town show at The Crescent!

The Furrow Collective is an English/Scottish band consisting of four talented and individually prominent performers: Lucy Farrell (viola, voice & saw), Rachel Newton (harp, fiddle, voice), Emily Portman (banjo, concertina, voice) and Alasdair Roberts (guitars, voice).

Man founded in 1968 are a much loved “progressive” rock band formed in Wales. Sometimes called the UK equivalent of the “Grateful Dead” due to their ability to go into spontaneous “jam” sessions. The band are currently working on their latest album at The Coachhouse Studio in Hesdin, France.

Two legendary names on the British folk and acoustic music scene share this very special evening in tribute to Roland Walls, who has been the lead organiser of York’s award winning Black Swan Folk Club for over 30 years, promoting many hundreds of shows in that time.

Multi-award winning Korean indie-pop band Say Sue Me pop back to the UK for a handful of autumn dates to finish another fine year gathering loads of new fans including new friends The Beths, Yo La Tengo, The Ravonettes and Snail Mail!

Legendary former Amen Corner singer and guitar player for the stars, including stints alongside Roger Waters, Eric Clapton, George Harrison and Bill Wyman, Andy Fairweather-Low brings his band to The Crescent in September!
