Graham Holland - The Greens facebook.com/threeminuteherouk     The Southbound Attic Band southboundatticband.co.uk The Southbound Attic Band is singer songwriter Barry Jones and Ronnie Clark. Guitar, harmonica, bass and vocal harmony combine to create Celtic flavoured acoustic Americana with an English folk rock sensibility and catchy melodic songs with a darkly humorous edge. With 3 CD’s and counting worth of original material the band also perform a theatre piece called The Willows Suite, a collection of original songs based on The Wind In The Willows by Kenneth Grahame. Equally at home with a thoughtful, listening audience or a rowdy Saturday night pub crowd, they are an accomplished and versatile live act. Host and co-promoters  of Liverpool’s newest Americana evening, the Acoustic Dustbowl, currently held at the View Two Gallery in Mathew Street, they have shared the stage with many USA and UK Americana artists including most recently, The Lost Brothers, Eric Brace and Peter Cooper and Eef Barzelay and opened at the Wirral International Guitar Festival 2013 for My Darling Clementine. The Mudcat Brothers facebook.com/MudcatLanding The Mudcat Brothers are Tim Glover and Chris Stevens who currently make up one half of the exceptional guitar band Mudcat Landing. As The Mudcat Brothers they take a step away from their rock influences and take up acoustic guitars to indulge their love of music seeped in the traditions of Americana. Their songs are dark and sombre, intelligent, intense and atmospheric, drawing on a wide range of influences from American country and folk music Three Minute Hero facebook.com/threeminuteherouk Deriving the name from a song by 2-tone ska band The Selecter, Three Minute Hero is a semi acoustic artist active on the live music scene. The brainchild of Liverpool songwriter, musician and award-winning promoter Stuart Todd, Three Minute Hero fuses raw social commentary with an eclectic mix of melodic material; elevating the classic three minute pop song by giving it a subversive lyrical twist.
