It seems a proper effort is being made just lately to bring quality gigs to the MET Studio at the Gatehouse Theatre. I attended the one on the 1st of September, when American band The Stray Birds came to town. They did a superb show and it was one of only two English gigs on their tour (the other being in London) so we were very lucky to have them come to Stafford.
The next of these gigs is now just a week away, with Jefferson Hamer playing the MET Studio on Friday the 19th. He’s a New York based musician and was a winner at this year’s BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. Nice to see acclaimed artists being brought to the town! Here’s a clip of him performing at the awards:
Anyway, just wanted to point this out in case these gigs are slipping under the radar of any music loving forumites!
Note that it seems there are still problems with the Gatehouse website (these have been ongoing for a few weeks while the site is being revamped) but tickets can be bought in person from the box office. For most of these gigs, tickets are £12.50 each.
