TRUE TROUBADOURS SPRING SEASON 2012
10th February 2012
It's great to see regional acts gaining national recognition. Recently two of last season's local True Troubadours made massive leaps into the public consciousness. Patsy Matheson from Otley with her brilliant new album, 'Stories of Angels & Guitars' and Jon Gomm from Leeds, with over 2 million hits on YouTube and an appearance on BBC's Breakfast TV.
To open the 2012 Spring season they have Chantel McGregor, a young lass from Bradford who won the 'Young Blues Artist of the Year' award at The British Blues Awards 2011. Already on its way to a sell out, this should be a fantastic evening.
TRUE TROUBADOURS* is a night aimed mainly to present singer-songwriters in an intimate environment.
