Ryan's Gig Guide - June 2018

Charlotte Carpenter blew me away with a solo set supporting Bryde in April. With a modern bluesey, soulful vocal/guitar style, Charlotte’s latest single ‘Baby- woman’ has already been played by Radio 1 & 2 and 6 music. Re- cent EP ‘Shelter’ sees her magnifi- cently fleshing out the sound with a full band. Catch her headline show at The Sunflower Lounge on Saturday 16th June .

What began in the 80s as an indie- skiffle group, saw them reform in 2014 and they are still wowing crowds all over the country. Terry & Gerry's Garden Party is on Saturday 23rd June at The Blue Piano, Edgbaston. Terry & Gerry Bigging up artists playing the local scene... A Certain Ratio Part of the postpunk Factory records label in the late 70s & early 80s, A Certain Ratio are a band still highly sought-after around the world and bring their distinctive sound to The Hare & Hounds in Kings Heath on Saturday 30th June . www.ryansgigguide.com 24 rgg June 2018
