Don't worry we have plenty more current events to choose from.

Variously dubbed “the acoustic Hendrix”, “the English Jeff Buckley” and “Dylan for the iPod generation”, latter-day troubadour Nick Harper – son of hippy legend Roy – commands equal devotion among fans for his prolifically articulate songwriting, his fiercely virtuosic guitar work and the exhilarating passion of his live performances.

The music of Belfast singer-songwriter Duke Special weaves between melancholy and melodrama, demi-monde desolation and carnivalesque extravagance, drawing on influences that range from Gershwin-style swing to East European folk. He recently followed up 2006’s multi-platinum-selling Songs from the Deep Forest with the darker-hued, boldly adventurous Never Thought This Day Would Come.

Over 14s only.
