About Whitby

Music in The Basement

The line up this year is ANDY STONE - fantastic guitarist vocalist from York. I'm a guitarist/singer/songwriter. Usually theres just me and my guitar but I often have the pleasure of making music with some other, rather talented folks. I'm currently playing and recording guitars for Dan Webster's first Album release. I'm constantly on a long mission to find the right musicians to play on my own first album. Foda (Paul Fothergill) will most definitely be providing his bass skills, but thats as far as I've got! I also occasionally play with two function bands, "The Juniors" and "Blue Nun", which features Alistair Griffin on lead vocals.

MILE CAIN - singer song writer Cain considers good songwriting to be punchy, soulful and heartfelt. Think Billy Bragg meets Del Amitri, with a twist of Jackie Leven for good measure. The next Miles Cain album, A Way Of Being Free, was released on 30th April 2007. "At the end of the day," says Cain,"it all comes down to great hooks and sharp lyrics, well delivered. Four chords? That's plenty."

BARBARA HELEN -An extremely talented songwriter, who presents her songs with a voice that ranges between sensitive & soaring! But I love good instrumentation, so the best compliment I can offer is that her guitar picking & strumming is as good as it gets. Stan Gee

FRAGILE - very popular alternative acoustic roots trio, their material is all original with an acoustic feel - "chord progressions and harmonies which leave wanting to hear more" -' Steve Jenkins'

THE COMMITTEE = 5 piece band always in demand a fantastic young rock band
