CHRIS BRAIN

Monday 18th May / 8pm / £13

Chris Brain is a Yorkshire-based folk singer-songwriter whose work sits firmly in the British pastoral tradition, shaped by close attention to place, memory and emotional nuance. His fourth album, Red Sun Rising (2026), is a quietly powerful collection of songs centred on yearning, restlessness and the desire for change. Rooted in acoustic textures and intimate storytelling, Red Sun Rising feels like a record made in motion: landscapes shifting, seasons turning, inner lives gently unsettled. Brain’s songwriting balances melody and restraint. A familiar voice on BBC Radio 6 Music and the BBC Radio 2 Folk Show, Chris Brain has toured extensively across the UK and internationally, including a seven-date sold-out tour of Japan. In 2026, he returns with a UK & Ireland tour to accompany the release of Red Sun Rising.

MARTIN TURNER

ex Wishbone Ash, Two Era’s Tour

OTIS GIBBS

Thursday 21st May / 8pm / £15

WagonWheel Presents… welcomes Otis Gibbs back to The Greystones when he tours the UK in support of his brand new record.
Otis Gibbs is a songwriter, storyteller, painter, photographer, and planter of 7,176 trees. He once wrestled a bear and lost. He’s been called “the best unknown songwriter in music today,” but if you ask him, he’ll just say he’s a folksinger. The Trust Of Crows, his tenth studio album, was recorded at the iconic Columbia Studio A in Nashville, where Bob Dylan made Blonde on Blonde and Nashville Skyline. It’s been closed to the public for decades, but Otis was given permission to record there. Gibbs’ storytelling extends beyond music to his YouTube channel, where more than 100,000 subscribers listen to tales and folklore passed down by legendary musicians. In an effort to preserve these personal stories before they’re lost to history, he single handedly built a living archive in the spirit of The Lomax Family, Studs Terkel or even Charles Kuralt. This deeply personal project reflects Otis’ reverence for history, lived experience, and the characters who shaped American roots music from the ground up. Otis embraced a DIY ethic early on, sometimes by choice and sometimes out of necessity. Whether it’s starting his own record label, podcast, YouTube channel, or whatever else needed to be done, he’s created his own ecosystem in the arts—all while wearing the same work shirt and old felt hat that he wore planting trees 25 years ago. He continues to shine a light on the forgotten people, places, and the unvarnished beauty of everyday life. Otis and his partner, Amy Lashley have spent the last 20 years in their tiny home on top of a hill in East Nashville surrounded by artists, weirdos, radicals and as many animals as possible.

Support comes from Chris Dover.

With his front porch vocals and mesmerising guitar playing he embodies the very soul of the sacred realm of American folklore, a sound that’s an authentic blend of old time country folk/blues traditions that truly resonates with the soul like the roots players in days gone by. A brilliant guitarist and a captivating songwriter, he notices things that others don’t. He’s one of America’s greatest troubadours. They don’t make them like Charlie Parr anymore.

THE WASHBOARD UNION

Wednesday 27th May / 8pm / £18

THE LOFT

Thursday 28th May / 8pm / £16

One of the most influential guitar bands of the ’80’s. Long before Oasis and Primal Scream helped make Alan McGee’s Creation label a worldwide success, indie legends The Loft blazed the trail notching up impressive firsts for the label. 
First Creation band to get to number 1 in the indie singles chart, first Creation band to appear on TV, first Creation band to be invited on a major UK tour and first Creation band to record a coveted BBC Radio 1 session, that was for the Janice Long Show in 1984. Then, when on the verge of greatness, came the infamous on stage tragedy, splitting up, mid song, in front of thousands at the Hammersmith Palais. 
40 years after that acrimonious split they thought it would be a good idea to reunite and record their debut album. In 2024 they played to a sell out crowd at London’s Moth Club, appeared at Glastonbury and recorded a session for BBC 6 Music’s Riley & Co. That session was rush released on glorious 10″ vinyl by London label Precious Recordings. Enter Hamburg based Tapete Records who, hearing rumours about new Loft material, snapped up the album and signed the band without hearing a single note. The resulting, 10 track album “Everything Changes, Everything Stays The Same” was released by Tapete in March 2025.
Louder Than War said “It’s very rare you get an album this good, absolutely perfect in every way. Every song is utterly fantastic, uplifting joy to listen to from start to finish”

REVIEW FROM CRICKLADE 21ST MARCH 2024
About last night……John Reilly and Lewis Nitikman anointed the good souls of Cricklade with their songs of love and grace. Such beautiful musicians, power punch melodies and lyrics that would make Taupin and Joel weep. Yes, I loved it, hard to distinguish the cover song from their crafted originals. Catch them if you can in a venue near you. Sean Devine. Indevine Music Promotions
Here they are in an empty Peak Cavern playing their beautiful song ‘Amazing Life’ or here is their 2021 BBC Radio 2 playlisted single ‘La la la (Bulletproof)’ and the haunting promo video for their last single ‘Shapeshifters’
