LEVELLERS
The tour is taking place to celebrate the 20th Anniversary of the Levellers debut album, A Weapon Called The Word. The seminal album, features such favourites as Carry Me, Outside Inside and World Freak Show, is re-issued on the band's own label On The Fiddle Recordings on 11th October 2010.
As a way of documenting the tour and highlighting the release of A Weapon Called The Word the Levellers are making a groundbreaking blogumentary. The band have enlisted the help of film-maker and ex-Chumbawamba vocalist Dunstan Bruce. Dunstan's company, Dandy Films, is based at the Levellers Metway Studios and he made the documentary "Clowns" that was broadcast by BBC TV. More recently he has documented Sham 69's first visit to China.

CHARLIE PARR (USA)
The wonderful, criminally under-exposed, and utterly brilliant Charlie Parr will be releasing a 'retrospective' album on the label in Oct/Nov. Parr, hailing from Duluth, MN, is as authentic as they come, his brand of country blues and mountain music echoes the likes of Charley Patton and Mississippi John Hurt yet embodies a certain 'here and now' mystique to this wonderful music. A road warrior, Parr has had audiences charmed all over the world, his trusty resonator ready to accompany his tales of social struggle and strife. Parr is on tour in September. PLEASE check him out, the guy is a bit special, trust me.

TOM PAXTON (USA)
Book early for what could be one of the last ever chances to spend another truly wonderful evening in the company of one of the defining voices of American folk. "I can't go on foerver!" he jokes. Unfortunately, he's probably right! No one ever walks away from a Tom Paxton show without a big smile and a warm feeling in their heart. An absolute one off.
