Lucy Farrell & Shane Pendergast

Kitchen Garden Cafe · Birmingham

Rooted in the rich traditions of English and Maritime folk music, Lucy Farrell and Shane Pendergast bring together two distinct yet complementary voices in contemporary folk. Lucy Farrell, a BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winner, is celebrated for her poetic songwriting, unconventional melodies, and the crystalline clarity of her voice. Known for her work with The Furrow Collective, Eliza Carthy and the Wayward Band, and a host of other acclaimed collaborations, Farrell has carved out a singular place in English folk with her elegant, understated tenor guitar and viola arrangements. Her solo work reveals a deep lyricism and a rare ability to make the strange feel familiar, and the familiar feel extraordinary. Shane Pendergast, hailing from Prince Edward Island, Canada, carries forward a long lineage of Maritime storytellers and songkeepers. A troubadour of the East Coast, his plainspoken yet profound songwriting has earned him recognition at folk festivals worldwide, as well as Contemporary Roots Album of the Year at the Music PEI Awards for Second Wind (2021). His 2025 release Winter Grace offers a deeply personal reflection on the joys and hardships of life in the Maritimes. Together, Fa...

Ruth Trimble

Kitchen Garden Cafe · Birmingham

Since releasing her first album, 'Things I Want To Say', in 2012, Northern Ireland's Ruth Trimble has been touring the UK and Ireland, supporting the likes of Clannad and playing as a multi-instrumentalist alongside Olivia Newton John, Beth Nielsen Chapman and Judie Tzuke, to name a few! It was the title track of her Christmas release in 2013, 'Each Christmas Till Then', which got the attention of BBC Radio2's Bob Harris and finally introduced her music to a bigger radio audience. In 2016 Ruth released her third album 'Before The Rain', a body of work which got extensive radio play and attention nationwide. Her work as a producer has also not gone unnoticed, as she was approached by legendary NI songwriter Robin Mark to co-produce his 2014 album 'Liberation Praise'. 2024 saw the release of Ruth's first new music in 8 years, with her highly anticipated new album 'Peace Of Mind'. Her first single 'Love Light' gained her more than 2.5k new listeners on Spotify within a few weeks of its release and the album as a whole passed 100k streams within a few months, which is a huge success for an independent artist today. Known for her wit as much as her music, you won’t want to miss the ra...

Burning Rope – Blues Rock

Joe Joe Jims · Birmingham

On Friday 13th November we are pleased to welcome back blues rock band Burning Rope to JJJ. Following the sad death of frontman Matt Long in October 2024, two of the remaining members of multiple UK Blues award winners Catfish wanted to continue to write and perform together so have teamed up with the excellent Mitch Weaving on drums, who was a regular dep with Catfish, along with guitarist Alex Voysey (nominated by the UK Blues Awards 2025 Best Album category for his album Blues in Isolation), who has been gigging heavily with The Alex Voysey Band in recent years, to form a new band: Burning Rope! Along with Burning Rope material, the band will be performing the songs written for Catfish by keyboard player Paul Long, and also songs he wrote for his previous band The Riotous Brothers. We're really looking forward to this gig as last time they were with us they tore the house down and did the memory of Matt Long proud in the process! Ticket: £12.00 (+Fees) online | £15.00 on the door (subject to capacity) Ticketing Information: Tickets are for ‘general admission’ giving you access to any available seating or standing areas.
