27/10/12: Congratulations to @nigelchivers who won two tickets to this gig in our competition!

The first of a new series of nights at the Cellar that’s dedicated to delving in to the beauteous world of alt-folk and beyond… It’s going to be like its name in frequency – only happening when we get the right line up – and in style.

Maia: A superbly gifted quartet, their eclectic mix of styles and song structures emotes and surprises in equal measure. They’ve supported the likes of Anais Mitchell and the Unthanks, and played at No Direction Home, The Royal Festival Hall and Wilderness. www.maiatheband.com

The Yarns: Their irresistible melodies and wry take on English folk – plus a track called ‘Dickhead’ – made them a must for this evening’s adventure. http://theyarns.bandcamp.com/album/the-yarns

Nick Edward Harris: Delivering his delicate finger-picking acoustic guitar style, weaving it so beautifully with intricate songwriting skills. He’s recorded for Ben Lovett’s (Mumford and Son’s) Communion label, and his new album Chimera is due out this December. www.nickedwardharris.com
