JEB AND HUW AND THE DEVIL'S JUKEBOX DJ's, A Bloody God-send


OBVIOUSLY, PLEASED as punch to have so much talent on board and under one roof. Acts and venue confirmed, so all systems go. Got a feeling we'll be hearing some fresh material from both artists too. Witnessing Huw Costin captivate a church hall children's nursery space in outer Oldham. I know this stage is his. And he won't have my mate heckling 'Treasure' every two minutes because he'll be away.

Both are craftsmen and play from the heart and Jeb Loy Nichols has the kind of respect in this industry, few do. His most recent material has been startling with promise of better to come. Jeb's Jukebox on the Caught by the River web-site is the place to go for the uninitiated. Dulcimer is the place to go for the rest of us. Oh, and the DJ's are not playing around either, Chris's mixes are some of the most widely respected on Balearic Social and with his partner Fritz, I expect some great sounds to be reverberating around that space. Let's put some love in the air.
