This talented bunch are Barry (Banjo, Guitar, Fiddle, Vocals), Nairn (Guitar, Mandolin, Harmonica, Vocals), The Marshall (Stand-up Bass, Vocals), Alan (Guitar, Vocals, Fiddle), Paddy (Fiddle, Guitar, Vocals), and John (Mandolin, Guitar, Vocals).

James J TurnerJames J Turner
James John Turner, a singer-songwriter, was born and bred in Liverpool. The city’s diverse music melting pot was a heady influence on James, who started playing guitar and singing from a ridiculously young age and, unbelievably, played gigs at the Junior Cavern sessions from the tender age of 9. Over the years James has fronted several different line-ups including Lies All Lies and The Electric Morning, touring the UK and Europe. After paying his dues on the road he opened Liverpool Hard City Studios where his debut solo album The Believer was recorded. James was the only male singer/songwriter to have a track selected for Virgin/BPI’s Best of British campaign in the US.

James has recently completed his new album How Could We Be Wrong? which takes him back to his roots using acoustic guitars, mandolin and violin. The album, and the single Let Love Into Your Heart, are due for release on 24th September 2012 on Touch The Moon Records.

Clever Little Tramps
Clever Little Tramps
Clever Little Tramps, formed in 2011, are a 3-piece acoustic band from Merseyside with a passion for writing and performing songs with meaning and feeling. Consisting of Russell Holden on lead vocals/Guitar, Mark Holden Percussion/Backing vocals and Michael Bates Bass/Backing vocals. The focus on vocal harmonies and well thought lyrics have turned many heads and brought many great reviews including: “Clever Little Tramps mix elements of folk, country and pop into a gritty blend that is, by turns, funny, evocative and beautiful….excellent vocal harmonies with a knack for expressing non-sentimental but no less romantic poetry” playmusic magazine

Still in the first year as this set-up things are getting better and better and with the release of their first EP ‘BLUE (Songs In A Flat)’ the Liverpool music scene has found it hard not to have these boys mentioned whenever someone is looking for some great tracks or a gig where people get involved. The next 12 months could be very important for Clever Little Tramps, especially with EP reviews like this: “Mellow, bluesy acoustic number sung with character and well devised harmony arrangements with nods to peers such as Neil Young, Crosby Stills and Nash with a smattering of Fleet Foxes with an undercurrent of The Coral”. MangoneBlog

They are currently recording their new EP which should be ready by the end of the year.
