Liam Ó Maonlaí ~ Hothouse Flowers

They do great food too, it'll be a great chance to meet some old friends in the village and make some new ones....The actual wooden bar is the same one I propped up many years ago, way back, when a chance to leave the 'building site' and the trials of DIY to seek local company and advice was a real haven.

Ça devrait être très amusant et un bon échauffement pour notre tournée!
David et Steph sont vraiment sympathiques, ils travaillent très dur et ont créé un fantastique petit bar ici au cœur du village, un vrai bijou. Ils font de la bonne cuisine aussi, ce sera une bonne occasion de rencontrer de vieux amis du village et d’en faire de nouveaux… Le bar en bois est le même que celui que j’ai calé il ya de nombreuses années, il y a bien longtemps. chance de quitter le «chantier» et les essais de bricolage pour rechercher une entreprise locale et des conseils étaient un véritable havre de paix

Two years ago Soundsphere hosted a week long singing workshop in the village and we finished the week with a joint concert with the choir. It made quite an impact and apparently people are still talking about it! So, when I asked Sebastien whether we should do something together again it was a resounding Yes! Made all the more sweeter in the fact that the choir are going to learn a White Sail song called Carry, written by Jane.
I think it's going to be once again a magical evening of warmth and hospitality...as only the French can do!

Il y a deux ans, Soundsphere a organisé un atelier de chant d'une semaine dans le village et nous avons terminé la semaine par un concert avec la chorale. Cela a eu un impact considérable et apparemment, les gens en parlent encore! Alors, quand j'ai demandé à Sébastien si on devait refaire quelque chose ensemble, c'était un retentissant oui! Fait d'autant plus agréable que la chorale va apprendre une chanson de White Sail intitulée Carry, écrite par Jane.
Je pense que ce sera encore une fois une soirée magique de chaleur et d’hospitalité ... comme seuls les Français peuvent le faire

The Local Authority, Eldon Street (Corporation), Sheffield, S14 JU
7.30pm £12 advance - Buy tickets here
Sarah first met Rob Cottingham and had the pleasure of seeing CAIRO back in November 2016 when she joined Anne-Marie Helder and Jonathan Edwards of Luna Rossa for the Rotherham leg of their supports for Cairo on their launch tour.
The Classic Rock Society Best of The Year Awards 2016 were held in March 2017 - Sarah was honoured to be asked to do the support to Pendragon at this event and meet Rob and the band again. CAIRO and their hard work and talent were very deservedly recognised and they were nominated for Best Lyricist (Rob Cottingham) Best Album (SAY) and Best Newcomer!! Three awards, all in their first year!!
Over the intervening years Sarah got to do their support when Cairo did a Christmas show in December 2017 at The Music Rooms in London.
Sarah and Rob have kept in touch and Rob has been a wonderful supporter of her solo work and more recently White Sail when he saw the band for the first time at WebbStock where he wrote to us and said.."
"...I just wanted to personally congratulate all of you on your performance last night at WebbStock. It was a stunner and the FOH (front of house) sound was impeccable - aided by the natural reverb of the venue. Thoroughly enjoyed what was a captivating set, with beautiful harmonies and talented playing on a plethora of instruments - the whole audience were enthralled! Wishing you much continued success, very best wishes to you all..."
We are looking forward to the evening and can't wait to hear CAIRO again! It's going to be a night to remember!

The Fox's Den Showcase with DJ Bill Horncastle

And also hundreds of walks taken on the beach and Filey Brigg with my dog Charlie, happy dog and happy days indeed!
There's loads of great music in store for this weekend and myself, Jane and Chris very much look forward to spending the day here. Check out the website for all the wonderful things they're doing in the many different venues.

This will be both bands' debut gig, playing their debut albums in full, with some special gems thrown in for good measure.
Folk! This is a unique opportunity to see a re-formed (Rob Reed, Peter Jones, Luke Machin & Dan Nelson) CYAN take to the stage as well as new band OMEGA POINT.
OMEGA POINT - the brain-child of bassist Matthew Cohen (Magenta, The Reasoning, Ghost Community) who not only brought the other musicians together but also produced the album. On lead vocals is John Paul Vaughan (Ghost Community) bringing a depth of emotion rarely heard on a debut, whilst the guitars and keyboards of Paul Davies (Karnataka / Panic Room) and Rob Wilsher (Multi Story) compete for the listeners’ attention with their virtuosity. Underpinning the album and its complexities is Vinden Wylde (The Reasoning) on drums. Together they have made a very accomplished and atmospheric progressive album for the discerning rock fan.
White Sail are thrilled to be on the bill!, so grab your tickets, this is going to be fab!!
White Sail are really pleased to say that our wonderful friend and flautist Jacqueline Hynes will be joining us, making this show extra special for us!

Sunday 5th June 2022 - White Sail supporting CAIRO @ Unit Nine
*** POSTPONED ***

Tel - 01908 317995
7pm - 11pm £15 + £1.50 in advance - Buy tickets here
Sarah first met Rob Cottingham and had the pleasure of seeing CAIRO back in November 2016 when she joined Anne-Marie Helder and Jonathan Edwards of Luna Rossa for the Rotherham leg of their supports for Cairo on their launch tour.
The Classic Rock Society Best of The Year Awards 2016 were held in March 2017 - Sarah was honoured to be asked to do the support to Pendragon at this event and meet Rob and the band again. CAIRO and their hard work and talent were very deservedly recognised and they were nominated for Best Lyricist (Rob Cottingham) Best Album (SAY) and Best Newcomer!! Three awards, all in their first year!!
Over the intervening years Sarah got to do their support when Cairo did a Christmas show in December 2017 at The Music Rooms in London.
Sarah and Rob have kept in touch and Rob has been a wonderful supporter of her solo work and more recently White Sail when he saw the band for the first time at WebbStock where he wrote to us and said.."
"...I just wanted to personally congratulate all of you on your performance last night at WebbStock. It was a stunner and the FOH (front of house) sound was impeccable - aided by the natural reverb of the venue. Thoroughly enjoyed what was a captivating set, with beautiful harmonies and talented playing on a plethora of instruments - the whole audience were enthralled! Wishing you much continued success, very best wishes to you all..."
We are looking forward to the evening and can't wait to hear CAIRO again! It's going to be a night to remember!
It will be two years plus since White Sail were due to support CAIRO on the 12th March 2020...we're so glad to be the support after these last two years!!!
Rob says "...After a successful last gig pre-Covid in Milton Keynes in January 2020, we cannot wait to play again in Milton Keynes - especially at Unit Nine which is a cracking venue. I am especially proud of Cairo's new material which you will hear in our next studio album - and I can't wiat for everyone to hear it live. The fact that we have the popular White Sail as special guests is just the icing on the cake for what will be a tryly sensational Platinun Jubilee Party weekend occasion..."

White Sail are delighted to be joining Liam once again - after the massive success of the October 2021 tour we know it's going to be a lot of fun!
Liam Ó'Maonlaí is one of the most talented, charismatic and soulful performers of Irish traditional music today. But his musical prowess goes beyond his own cultural roots as he blends an eclectic mix of fold, blues, gospel, sold, rock and more, with his amazing vocals and an array of instrumental mastery from piano to flute, harmonica to bodhran.
Since first bursting onto the scene in the 1980's with his band Hothouse Flowers, Liam has captured the attention of audiences, critics and musicians alike. According to Rolling Stone Magazine, Bono noted the ensemble were the "best unsigned band on the planet".
It is no wonder that Liam remains a 'musician's musician' and no surprise he has performed alongside the best of them, as a solo performer as well as frontman of the Hothouse Flowers, Liam continues to wow audiences worldwide reinventing himself with each performance.
A night to remember! - This promises to be a glorious night of music and White Sail are delighted to be working with Liam again. Plus a return to The Crescent too!

It only a 45 minute drive from our house to the lovely seaside town of Filey. It's a place I have many fond memories of - the first holiday I ever had without my parents was in Filey, with 5 of my school chums celebrating after we'd done our 'O' levels! And also hundreds of walks taken on the beach and Filey Brigg with my dog Charlie, happy dog and happy days indeed!
There's loads of great music in store for this weekend and it's always such a great festival, and the setting is so lovely, not to mention the Fish n Chips!
Thanks to Rob Rockman for all his hard work in organising the bands to play at the bandstand over the weekend.
It's going to be a White Sail duo version with myself and Jane as Chris is on a walking holiday! We've called ourselves 'The Mermaidens of White Sail'. Chris will be no doubt collecting interesting song ideas as he walks The Thames from 'Source to Sea'....now there's a song title already!
