Ian W Brown
Tickets £15.00, members £12.50
A guiding light behind the success of the amazing Fisherman’s Friends, and still their manager, Ian W Brown has spent the last 20 years mostly behind the scenes in the music business. As well as co-writing Sandi Thom’s number one single ‘I Wish I Was A Punk Rocker’ and the lead song in the long running West End musical ‘Dreamboats and Petticoats’, Ian has written songs for many other artists, from folk acts such as the Fisherman’s Friends and Show of Hands, to pop stars like Michael Ball and Pixie Lott. Ian only occasionally takes to the stage to play some of his songs that have graced the charts and so many more that haven’t. So this is a rare opportunity to catch him performing. His finely-honed everyman tales and self-deprecating musical outings are interspersed with tall tales from the music business, life, love, and the universe. Inspired by the ignominy of being confused with Ian Brown; the erstwhile lead singer of The Stone Roses, Ian's song 'The Other Ones' provides a poignant insight into the possible irony of sharing your name with a well-known pop artist. Ian is the only known pig farmer to be nominated for an Ivor Novello Award and we are delighted to welcome him for his first visit to Uxbridge. (Hope we've booked the right one!)
Wickenwood
Support is from Wickenwood, a popular Indie-folk trio from Hemel who have been going from strength to strength. They are well-established duo Phil and Deb Marshall and fiddle player Mags Layton. Together they play acoustic music with contemporary influences, based around harmony-driven vocals, drawing inspiration from the folklore and legends of the people and places they visit.

Terence Blacker
Tickets £15.00, members £12.50
Terence Blacker is a regular and very popular visitor to Uxbridge and we are looking forward to hearing some new songs from the latest album. I thought I would let Terence tell you about it himself, so here are some notes from his website:
NEWS
"The old year seemed to take an age to reach the exit, but now it’s gone – good riddance, frankly – and 2025, The Year of Thinking Optimistically, is here.
The big, wide world may be full of woe but, in my little musical world, there is much to look forward to. In the Spring, I’ll be releasing a new album called Misfits’ Jubilee. I’ll be introducing the album on this site in the near future but, listening to it now, I’ve been surprised to find that it has a distinctly optimistic vibe, while not skipping over some of life’s grimmer moments. There’s a death song, a having-a-row-with-your-partner song, a jolly little number about people’s annoying habits, and one simply called ‘The Crying Game’. I’m also looking forward to being out on the road in the coming months, with appearances at the St Neots Folk Club and Uxbridge Folk Club coming up soon. I hope you all have a fantastic year of great music and that I’ll be seeing you at one of my gigs soon."
The Larks
Support is from The Larks who won the Watford Folk Club song writing competition last year. Liz Miller and Chris Wilbraham, who are based near Bury St Edmunds, use guitar and mandolin to complement their voices, as they call on a wide range of influences and experiences to entertain their audiences. Expect their original songs to feature mermaids, nightingales and vampires!

Linda Moylan
The Salts will be suppported by one of our most popular regular visitors. Linda Moylan will be treating us to songs from her latest CD - The Fool . “Every song is a gem of unique arrangement, where melody and distinct emotional charge is stupendously interpreted by Moylan’s strong, warm voice that has a sublime range. Formidable! *****” - Morning Star
