Gig Guide: Mon 12th May

 

Mon 12th May 19:30 Jack Savoretti / Dawn Kinnard / Tom Campbell

Jack Savoretti has had a very exciting couple of years; his first two singles off debut album ‘Between The Minds’ received excellent reviews and gained major Radio 2 support. After the second single ‘Dreamers’ was released he made several TV performances including TOTP2 and This Morning and was invited by Corinne Bailey Rae as special guest support on her European Tour. When album ‘Between The Minds’ released, that too received high praise from many publications including Q magazine who claimed Jack “stands out from the current glut of soft-lad singer-songwriters”, as well as comparisons from Mojo and the Independent, among others, to Nick Drake, Damien Rice and Van Morrison. This year sees him headlining his own tour.  

Dawn Kinnard. Smokey voiced and bewitching singer/songwriter Dawn supports Jack midway through his tour, in between dates of her own tour which will result in her first appearances at the Glastonbury and Wireless festivals. Her EP ‘Devils Flame/Fortune Teller’ received high praise from the Sunday Times calling it “sensational” and single ‘Clear the Way’ was hailed a “modern classic” by the Guardian. She recently appeared on Later with Jools Holland, promoting album ‘The Courtesy Fall’, which was released on 14th April.  
 
Tom Campbell. Singer-songwriter from Derby with a voice roaming between Ryan Adams and David Gray, and songs rich with the both respected artists’ country-folk-blues-melancholy, filled with warmth and rawness, but yet well-delivered elegance and conviction. Demos are on his MySpace for an EP due out before the summer.
