Thanks to all of you who supported our last Hat Club.Martin Stephenson was a sell out; justifiably so as he and his partner Helen charmed us all with tall tales, fine finger picking and sumptuous singing.
Our next presentation is Paul Gilbody on April 26th.
As well as being a member of KT Tunstall's band Edinburgh based Gilbody has a thriving solo career.
His songs are confessional singer/songwriter fare, with a little bit of blue eyed soul added to the mix. He's also a master of the loop, so be prepared to be gobsmacked as he, erm, plays with himself...
You can reserve your tickets now by paying your £10 and getting your name on that famous club clip board.
You can read about Paul's career here.
