 | | John Edgar Voe + Special Guests Friday January 29 The Black Box, 8.00pm Rachel Austin is a singer from Virginia, who has been living in Belfast for eight years. With her ability to weld poetry and original melodies together, her live shows are events of rare power. Ten Gallon Hat & The Big Salute challenge every stereotype you have ever had about the country and roots music scene here in N.I. This Belfast based five piece pull no punches, ever ready to deliver their own inimitable blend of raucous rock, soul and gutsy blues with a feverous undercurrent of country bubbling through every track. John Edgar Voe is the latest musical venture from Martin J Corrigan (Alloy Mental, Corrigan). In a shift towards the country end of the spectrum, influences include Woody Guthrie, Thomas Jefferson and John Prine. He has joined forces with Charlie Mooney (Desert Hearts), Robyn G Shiels, James Heaney (St Dudes) and Ben McAuley (Three Tales) to sing songs about women, fighting, jail, death, drinking, God, freedom, larceny and love. Martin is currently working with producer David Holmes on a debut album. | | | | | | Tickets: £5.00 | | | | | |  | | | | | | Tickets also available from the Belfast Welcome Centre on 028 9024 6609 | | | | | |
