William the Conqueror, the Prince Albert, Sat 30th Nov
THE PRINCE ALBERT
Sat 30th William the Conqueror Once a treasure of the folk circuit, Ruarri Joseph has been leading a double existence, 4 studio albums under the moniker Ruarri Joseph the singer created William the Conqueror and hit a vein of creativity recording 3 albums of new music in his shed. Bursting with retro-infused energy, there are a myriad influences, underpinned by a taste for good, old-fashioned roots. One minute it’s a hushed JJ Cale that somehow finds its way to an angry Jim Morrison or a late-70s Dylan; the next it’s a grunge era Pearl Jam via Leonard Cohen and Tom Waits. 8:30pm Free
