AMERICANA
FESTIVAL LINE-UP UNVEILED
THE full line-up for the
second and extended Glasgow
Americana
Festival next month has
been announced by
promoters, the Fallen
Angels Club.
The
first of eight gigs -
compared with only three
last year - at eight
different venues will get
under way on Saturday, May
24, finishing a week later
(May 31) with the
irreverent Kinky
Friedman playing
the Tron Theatre.
His
show is already sold out
so a matinee show has just
been announced.
Kim
Richey,
Jason Ringenberg
and Crooked Still
will be joining fellow
American Friedman on the
Festival programme plus
Canadians, The
Wailin’ Jennys
who will be supported by Bob
Harris favourite,
Rachel Harrington.
And Glasgow’s own Stevie
Jackson is
slipping out quietly from Belle
and Sebastian’s
ranks for a rare treat
solo set while rising
Scots star, Yvonne
Lyon will appear
on the opening night, along
side Mia
Riddle who is
also a huge favourite of
Bob Harris.
“I think the Festival
has a widespread appeal
not just for those music
lovers who are already
aware of the artistes but
for others, too,” said
The Fallen Angels
Club’s, Kevin Morris who
also thanked Glasgow City
Council and the Scottish
Arts Council for their
generous support.
“I
have bought tickets in the
past for shows by Jason
Ringenberg and The
Wailin’ Jennys
so, as a fan, I’m really
pleased they are coming to
Glasgow
for the Festival.
“I
hope it’s a week of
music that the city will
enjoy and long
remember.”
