We’re all very excited about this show. Alt-folk accordionist, clog dancer, composer who completely charmed a packed Bridgewater Hall in Manchester for the opening ceremony of the thirtieth WOMEX in October last year with her disarming personality and virtuoso playing of the accordion, but when she put down the accordion and, without any music, gave a skilful exhibition of North of England clog dancing, the concert hall erupted. 
With captivating musicianship and a sound that is unapologetically her own, Heather Ferrier is a force to be reckoned with. She’s changing the perceptions of alt-folk on her own terms. 
Heather is joined tonight by guitarist Alistair Paul and drummer Adam Stapleford. Their combined medley of influences and genre bending collaborations transcends the limits of contemporary instrumental folk music, employing Heather’s distinct compositional style to create a show with both emotive and upbeat moments, a bold, passionate, enthralling show that embellishes Heather’s signature alt-folk style.

TERRY REID +  C.J.HILLMAN

Monday 22nd September / 8pm / £24

“Astonishing by any standards: spine tingles, hair prickles on the back of the neck…” The Independent 
Present at many of the most legendary events in music history Terry Reid has a story to tell. He’s the stuff of legends.
He was a good friend of Jimi Hendrix, he’s toured with the Stones 3 times, Cream, Fleetwood Mac and Jethro Tull. He’s adored by many of rock’s greatest including Graham Nash, Jack White, Mick Jagger, Rob Zombie and Joe Bonamassa. The ’52 Telecaster Joe plays wasTerry Reid’s, Joe still calls it “Terry’s Guitar”. He famously turned down the frontman’s job with Led Zeppelin recommending his friend Robert Plant instead. He also turned down a similar offer from Deep Purple. A fine guitar player and a formidable singer/songwriter the high esteem in which he’s held by his peers is underscored by his work on albums by Bonnie Rait, Don Henley, Johnny Rivers, Joe Walsh, Joe Perry (Aerosmith), Jackson Browne and Robert Plant and many more. His voice is a thing of wonder that “…has the power to provoke an intense reaction” (The Times). A health scare in 2022 put him in hospital for a while which gave him time to reflect on his lifestyle resulting in him taking things just a little easier, giving up alcohol and just generally getting back to being the fiercely uncompromising, rock n roll survivor we love and cherish. Aretha Franklin once said that the Beatles, the Stones and Terry Reid were the best things to come out of England, come and see this true legend up close and personal on what promises to be one of the Greystones’ highlights of 2025.
