Our Gig List for the coming days/weeks/months is shown below. All the dates are subject to change, and if you are traveling a long way we advise you to phone and confirm. If you want to book tickets please phone us on 01792 473276 (rather than sending me an email). Please don't phone between 12 and 2pm as it's lunchtime and we're likely to be too busy cooking to staff the Box Office as well! We aren't open in the evenings unless we've got music on (or lasagne to make) so ring in the daytime (there's someone there from 8:30am-6pm, usually).

DO NOT COME UP TO US IN THE PUB AND TRY TO BOOK TICKETS. YOU HAVE TO CALL IN OR RING US UP. SORRY.

Doors usually open at 7:30pm, with support acts starting at 8:30pm. We don't reserve tables so if you intend sitting down to eat, be early. The kitchen stays open until about 9 or when the main act starts. We try and stick to what's advertised but musicians will be musicians!

Sat 28.11 Buttonsville The finest selection of material and some passionate players result in a very enjoyable night out!! Their Blind Willie McTell is simply astonishing. £5
Sat 05.12 Sera and The Elements Sera and new (ish) band with pop-rock treats. Powerful vocals and gutsy performance. Raising money to record an album with the new lineup.  
Sat 12.12 The Squirts SOLD OUT give us a ring and we'll put you on the reserve list. Then all you have to do is hope for a Christmas flu epidemic :-) £10
Wed 20.01 Erin McKeown plus Anais Mitchell With an album just released on Ani DiFranco's Righteous Babe records, Erin is sometimes poppy, swinging and rocking. Plus support from Vermont's Anais. £10
Thu 04.02 Madison Violet Canadian duo who have been described as both city-folk and tumbleweed pop. A little bit Jesse Sykes, a little bit Hem, a lot good. £8
Fri 12.02 Helen Watson Trio After wowing the Jazz club last year (with Snake Davis) we thought we'd have Helen back. She's bringing Mark Cresswell (again) and Dave Bowie (not the one with the funny eyes). £8
Sat 27.02 Invocal Humour and harmonies from four talented musicians/songwriters. Witty and affecting. £8
Sat 20.03 Songs of Nick Drake with Keith James and Rick Foot The music of a much revered songwriter played with passion and power. £8
Thu 22.04 Kirsty McGee and Matt Martin Bringing hobopop sounds back to The Chattery - folky, rootsy and buoyed along by guitar and banjo. £8
Fri 30.04 Henry Priestman Great chronicler of modern life - from Grey's The New Blonde to R.E.D.U.N.D.A.N.T £8
Thu 27.05 Kreg Viesselman Gravel voiced Minnesotan with soulful tunes. New album soon! £8

 

Alt.country:- teenage angst for middle aged people

If you're a band/artist or promoter email me at thechattery@hotmail.com. Please bear in mind that we have a LOT of demos, albums and emails sent to us and it takes us a while to get through them. Please also note that we are a small restaurant with a musical interest in the singer-songwriter/americana/alt.country/etc. If you play punk, nu-punk, post punk, hardcore, emo, screamo, grindcore, hip hop, breakbeat, drum'n'bass etc. your email will most likely be ignored and demo binned. We also have no interest in acts who list dancing above singing in their biographies and rely on backing tracks. Not sure whether to email me? Count the number of Dylan albums you can name, if it's less than 10 don't bother :-) .

Not sure whether to come and see a show in The Chattery? You can read a selection of nice things people have said about us here.

A brief history of live music at The Chattery can be found here. Including
some of the gigs you might've missed!
