John Meed's album launch - Saturday November 30th 2013

8.30pm Tickets £5.00

On November 30th John Meed will be launching his fifth album,'The dust of time', at CB2 in Cambridge. He will be joined on stage by Brian Harvey (bass), Dawn Loombe (accordion), Tara Westover (harmony vocals) and Rhys Wilson (guitar and keyboard), all of whom play on the album. They will play a selection of songs from the new album and a few old favourites. 'The spirit of folk music is alive, well and delightfully accompanied.' (FATEA) 'Thoughtful and thought provoking.' (R2 Rock'n'Reel)

Support will be from the excellent Little Black Dress Duo, who perform classic cabaret with warmth, wit and style - and a continental twist! This stylish duo - Amanda Hall on vocals & guitar, and Dawn Loombe on piano accordion - play a range of songs, chansons and melodies. Their music pays tribute to some well loved, glamorous and comedic stars of the musical theatre, such as Eartha Kitt, Cole Porter, Edith Piaf and Kirsty MacColl.

And Rhys Wilson, who co-produced the album, will start the evening off with a few fine songs.

Tickets are £5 though all seats are now taken; there is a little standing room. Book.

There is a video of Rue Mouffetard, the first single from The dust of time here.

Our next open stage will be on December 14th.

8.30pm Tickets £3.00 (Performers free admission).
