JACK ROSE (Beautiful Happiness / VHF); twelve-string and slide guitar player, one of the few heirs to the idiosyncratic solo folk guitar tradition paved by John Fahey, member of psych-drone group PELT and Dr. Ragtime is hitting the road again.

His last tour of the UK was the incredibly well received tour with GLENN JONES (Cul de Sac). Since then he has released 'Kensington Blues' to near blanket acclaim, contributed a harmonic drone-cycle to the best compilation released in 2005 - 'By the Fruits you Shall Know the Roots' feat:-Six Organs of Admittance, MV/EE, Dredd Foole,Joshua/Kemiallset Ystävät. Jack has also toured hard and long across the USA (including the now pivotal ARTHUR FEST in L.A.) playing his guitars ragged.

There is something familiar and new about the sound that Rose is creating. Rooted but ethereal, old and battered but fresh and invigorating, it's the sound of an artist slowly making his way through history and coming out the other side with something all his own.

CHRIS CORSANO provides a solo drum show with no parallel. Known to expose the audience to sounds, rhythms and explosive propulsion that defy normality. Recently he has toured with, the more than enigmatic, JANDEK as well as appearing on the last SIX ORGANS OF ADMITTANCE record on Drag City. He has gained a well-earned reputation as one of the best drummers around. Equally at home with intense kinetic explosions of energy and concentrated near-silence, he effortlessly flows from one idea to the next, always sympatico with the space.

He has recorded and gigged with, among others, Paul Flaherty, Wally Shoup, Thurston Moore, Kim Gordon, Jim O'Rourke, Daniel Carter, Sunburned Hand Of Man, MV&EE, Dredd Foole, Vampire Belt and Tony Conrad.

Its two solo shows of power and fragility that twist and bend tunes and structures into beautiful shapes.

CHRIS JOYNES will perform solo parlour guitar reminiscent of the American Primitive style at the turn of the last century. Chris has an upcoming live performance on Andy Kershaw.
