Cambridge welcomes Steffen once again. This time in support of his ‘IS’ LP and digital download.
"German acoustic guitarist Steffen Basho-Junghans has so convincingly furthered the Takoma-era steel string concepts of John Fahey and Robbie Basho that in his hands the instrument's potential once more feels limitless." The Wire
“I’ve done several shows with SBJ, and can say, without exaggeration, that he is a magician. He connects with his audience and is a dramatic and deep player, and he manages to include his experimental side in his sets in ways that are organic and absorbing…” Glenn Jones

Plus support from:
Peter Delaney
Peter Delaney lives in Limerick, Ireland. He comes from a folk music
background and plays his own unique style, drawing on early Hawaiian folk
songs and Alan Lomax field recordings as well as more contemporary musicians
such as Joanna Newsom and Josephine Foster. Peter released his debut EP/Mini
Album "Duck Egg Blue" in April 2007 to much acclaim.
Peter has played throughout the UK, Ireland and Norway and has shared the
bill with A Hawk and a Hacksaw, Alasdair Roberts, Jozef van Wissem, Juana
Molina and The Swell Season.
'Possibly my favourite singer-songwriter of the last ten years or so.' C Joynes
The Doozer
"The Doozer makes angular bedroom psych-pop from guitar, keyboards and drum machines. He insists that he 'builds' music, and it's an apposite word. Sheet Music has a lovely constructed precision underlying its surface awkwardness, with a gift for finding chords or sour melodic twists that initially sound wrong, but turn out right. His counter-intuitive logic and oblique associations put him in a lineage connecting The Incredible String Band, Kevin Ayres and Billy Childish, but most of all another Cambridge alumnus, Syd Barrett. The Doozer has a voice of his own, though, and the quavers and quirks of songs like 'Dogwalking' and 'Burn the Tape' lodge themselves in the brain with strange persistence" [Sam Davies, The Wire]
"The Doozer furrows a path somewhere between the profressive folk styling of Animal Collective and the wide-eyed wonder of early Badly Drawn Boy. Weirdness levels are ramped up to eleven - not least due to some initially jarring chord sequences - and pastoral psychedelia reigns in a not unlovely debut" [James Skinner, Plan B]
