Update: Granny's Attic cancelled due to illness

But the Wadsworth gig will still go ahead with a superb stand in!

We are so sorry to have to inform you that Granny's Attic are unable to perform this Saturday 18th May at Wadsworth Community Centre due to illness.

We will still go ahead with a gig on this Saturday as we were delighted and lucky to be able to book Sam Carter as a replacement. If you have tickets, just turn up; if you prefer a ticket refund, we or WeGotTickets will be in touch and make the refund.

Over the course of his fifteen-year career, Sam has earned a reputation for vivid, narrative-driven songwriting 'as penetrating as Richard Thompson's best work' (Uncut). A highly regarded instrumentalist to boot, Sam is renowned by many as "the finest English-style fingerpicking guitarist of his generation" (Jon Boden) and has been described as having a 'killer voice' by Ivor Novello- winning musician Nitin Sawhney.
