Event details: You might know Joan from her loud serrated bands The Dambuilders, Black Beetle and Those Bastard Souls. Or from playing more subtly and quietly in Anthony and The Johnsons or Rufus Wainwright's band.

Alice's lavishly soulful voice is both timeless and up to the minute modern. Live or on record, she always performs with her trademark self assurance and sass.

Eli "PaperBoy" Reed

Event: Eli "PaperBoy" Reed
Venue: Soul Tree
Date: 5 Dec 2008 - 19:30
Event details: "There are singers who sing and there are singers whose sheer power of expression can knock you off your feet. Eli 'Paperboy' Reed falls firmly into the latter category ... [he] threatens to be one of the defining voices of the year" - MOJO

"In the past comparisons have been made between Reed and soul heavyweights such as Sam Cooke, Otis Redding and Wilson Pickett, but tonight the 24 year-old Bostonian is his own man, using his Mississippi apprenticeship to inform tracks such as Am I Wasting My Time, Walking And Talking (the title track of his debut album) and It's Easier with a rare fire and passion." MOJO (again)
