Dryadic @ The Grove w/ Samuel Jackson-Reed
The Grove, The Grove Sneinton Market, unit 48 Freckingham St,, Nottingham, GBI saw Dryadic last year at The Grove supporting Matt Pless, was very impressed indeed! They are an alt-folk band consisting mainly of guitar, fiddle and double bass (which ended up being shoulder slung with a strap which was impressive too!)
They have a new album, Permission To Speak and they're on the road supporting that.
Support comes from Samuel Jackson-Reed, who while from Nottingham, I don't think I've seen him before!!

Dryadic @ The Grove, Nottingham | Facebook
Dryadic are delighted to be returning to The Grove as part of our Permission to Speak tour in March.
Queer, alt-folk agitators, Dryadic deliver an intelligent, feminist blend of rootsy folk with a melodic pop flair, peppered with heart soaring vocals, and vibrant fiddle licks.
Dryadic's distinctive sound and connected live show command the audience with tenacious singalong hooks delivered straight from the heart, backed by epic layered harmonies, raw energy, emotion and charisma. Feel-good, rousing rhythms underpin candid, humorous lyrics. Expect foot-stomping feminist protest songs and travelling folk tales, to dreamy epic ballads with five string fiddle and double bass do-si-do in the audience.
Dryadic's new album "Permission to Speak” is released this coming February 20th, with a UK tour to accompany.
"An amazing dynamic folk band, bringing feminine protest through the dreamier side of music…” BBC INTRODUCING
“Unapologetically queer and funny, an in-your-face but poignant takedown of those dreaded unsolicited opinions that are frequently hoisted upon us.” Loud Women
"Beautiful, haunting, fragile and very powerful” Earmilk“Ageless, as if Joan Baez suddenly plugged in and had tea with Florence Welch and sparked a revolution.” Lost In The Manor Magazine
"Grace Petrie meets Flight of the Conchords. Think fiddle-fueled feminist fury meets cabaret chaos meets danceable rage therapy" Odyssey Magazine4 attendees
Jake Martin @ The Grove w/ George Gadd & Jake Cheek
The Grove, The Grove Sneinton Market, unit 48 Freckingham St,, Nottingham, GBJake returns to Nottingham and The Grove again for a solo show ahead of his full band show later in the year! He probably needs very little introduction in the group, always well attended and a great night with his singalong folk-punk!
Also on the bill is George Gadd, again, who needs no introduction and is now ventured into the realms of hosting on here too!
Jake Cheek is also playing, and I think he'll be new to me!!

The Grove, The Grove Sneinton Market, unit 48 Freckingham St,, Nottingham, GBMe Rex return to The Grove, and it's aways a pleasure to see Myles and company! We had quite a few of us go last time, and I'm sure this time will be the same!
EDIT: I'm not sure Happy Accidents are actually supporting!!!
Happy Accidents (Rich and Phoebe from Me Rex) are the tour support, and it's been ages since I've seen them too.Should hopefully be a local support too, and I'll add that when I know about about it!

Me Rex Headline Show - The Grove (Supports: TBA) | FacebookListen here:
https://open.spotify.com/track/1dUr07Begcxwwnjch0Jh2j...
ME REX is made up of long time friends Myles McCabe (Guitar/Keys/Vocals), Phoebe Cross (Drums/Vocals) and Rich Mandell (Bass/Keys/Vocals/Production). Based in London and Brighton, the band have carved a distinct niche for themselves. Over the course of two double EPs and one shuffle album trio have continued to evolve with their blend of introspective lyricism, “surging, gargantuan hooks” and soundscapes. ME REX defies genre boundaries and typical song structures, while touching on themes of friendship, forgiveness, loss and joy wrapped in sweeping metaphors of alchemy and mythology. Across the bands catalogue they weave in influences taken from art and lore, from the idea of “Comets as harbingers of change and gateways to other realms” to ancient foundational narratives and their real-world reflections, managing to shape them into something closer to modern humanity7 attendees
