kirsty almeida bandWe realise it’s a wee while now since the turn of the year but hey, we’re relaxed about that…

2014: what an amazing year in so many ways and for Letham Nights it was positively stellar with 6 really top notch acts taking to our humble stage and belting out performances that conjured up no end of superlatives.  Follow the links for a wee reminder:

It seems wrong that most of these amazing artists have to work quite so hard to make a living from their music when they are quite obviously far superior to most of what we hear on the mainstream music channels.  But they love what they do and we love them for it.  At Letham Nights we believe in creating a stage for local talent and bringing high quality music to the community regardless of what the media tells us we should be following. We are committed to bringing you the very best!

So, 2015… what do we have up our sleeves for you?  Our programme is building nicely!  So far, here are the acts we have booked for your delectation:

cera impalaFirst up:

28th March – Cera Impala & the New Prohibition with guests, The Jellyman’s Daughter.  We know Cera better as one of the Bevvy Sisters – the one with the top hat wielding a banjo!  Well, we are delighted to say that she is coming to Letham with her own band and it’s going to be a treat!  And we’ll have support from the stunning new Edinburgh duo, The Jellyman’s Daughter, who are making huge waves and wowing audiences wherever they play.  Tickets here >>

And then….

30th May – Jez Hellard, Scott Cook and Fraser Ross – 3 brilliant singer-songwriters from different corners of the globe coming together to tell stories and sing songs – heartwrenching and heartwarming in equal measure.  Jez and Scott played for us in 2013 to great acclaim and now they are back. This time we have invited  the amazing Fraser Ross from New Zealand to join them and we think that the chemistry between these guys is going to create something really special. Tickets here >>

4th July – TBC – the hall is booked, the bands contacted.  Just remains to sort out a few wee tweaks… Watch this space!

1kirsten adamson0th October – Kirsten Adamson – yes, it is she of the silky, slinky vocals and mean guitar picking.  By the time this comes around, Kirsten will have launched her new solo album and if, like us, you were part of the Kickstarter campaign to get this off the ground, you’ll understand that this show is going to be a cracker!
