TIM EVELEIGH
-----
I'm a middle-aged middle-class singer-songwriter from South London. Sound familiar? Yes, I know - it's another bloke-with-a-guitar, but I think my songs are slightly more varied than average and I have a reasonable line in between-song chat that appears to keep people vaguely amused.

MISSISSIPPI MACDONALD
-----
"Mississippi" Ol MacDonald plays and sings the real delta blues.
Mississippi is the owner of the world's smallest blues museum - he owns one of Robert Cray's guitar picks and a splinter of wood from the shack in which Muddy Waters was born.

Hopefully see you there

Cellar door are an acoustic duo made up of Aimee Grinter and Mike Brown.

Jenny likes singing songs that make people laugh & make people go 'mmmmm' in a contemplative and happy kind of way. Sometimes people give her money. Whether it’s money to keep singing, money to buy a CD or money to make her be quiet is of no consequence. It’s still money.

MARK WOODS
-----
With a voice that's as smooth as sandpaper and recalls a time when gentlemen weren't quite so gentle, Mark Woods' whimsical world is a folksy, rootsy one, where rock and roll makes fleeting appearances amidst the occasional waltz and ballad.
http://www.myspace.com/markwoodsofjc

ADRIAN TAYLOR
-----
Adrian has been writing songs for years. His themes circle around entropy, loss, mourning - all the usual cheery stuff. Yet his tunes are an uplifting and warm contrast to the lyrical darkness. Adrian is slowly, painstakingly producing an album.
http://www.myspace.com/adriantaylormusic

EDDIE'S BROTHER
-----
A core of affectingly honest material, highly hummable, delivered with the minimum of pretension. Each song is a story of loss and of discovery. I hope they will affect your emotions, and I welcome you to my passively aggresive self-expression part parrot, part angel.
http://www.myspace.com/eddiezbrother

CARLY BRYANT
-----
With a voice of depth and originality, an enigmatic stage presence and compositions peppered with thought-provoking lyrics and killer hooks, Brighton based acoustic folk rocker, CARLY BRYANT, has been gigging on guitars, pianos and vocals since the age of 14.
http://www.myspace.com/carlybryant

Hope to see you there

http://www.myspace.com/stewsimpsonmusic

AMELIA TUCKER
-----
Sad and sweet songs played on whatever instruments are handy by a young devonshire lass, sometimes accompanied by a selection of westcountry scoundrels. Playing tracks including some from recent "little ep".

A rare chance to see the fantastic LIVING ROOM for FREE (it'll cost you a tenner in London the night before). Manu Delago's hang 'drum' and Christoph Pepe Auer's bass clarinet unexpectedly combine to create a magical atmosphere. And they're funny too.

The ever wonderful Tom Janssen appears once again as the support. There's not much left to say about Tom except: if you haven't seen him yet, don't miss this opportunity.

-----------------------------------------------------------------
FREEDOM OF EXPRESSION presents LIVING ROOM and TOM JANSSEN

MONDAY 28TH SEPTEMBER 2009

The Green Dragon, 58-60 High Street, Croydon, CR0 1NA
8pm : FREE

LIVING ROOM
-----
When Manu Delago began playing the Hang in 2003, he simultaneously discovered his passion for writing music. Three years later, he founded the band ‚Manu Delago Handmade’ and the first Bass Clarinet – Hang – duo in the world‚ Living Room’. Within two years he released three albums.

TOM JANSSEN
-----
I play original instrumental music. Martin Carthy, Bert Jansch, Michael Hedges, Bill Frisell, Pierre Bensusan & Leo Kottke are primary influences.
