Hi there,
I’m BluesBeaten Redshaw. I’m a 18 year old solo elecric blues guitarist and singer.
I’m located 11 miles north of York and will be playing various gigs in the area and around the UK throughout March.
In 2010 I performed 2 loud and ballsy sets at Glastonbury festival and then a week later I drove my 1948 Ferguson TE20 tractor (Bessie) from my home in Yorkshire to a small town in Switzerland. Throughout my journey, 1500 miles through the UK, France and Switzerland at a top speed of 14 miles an hour, I played numerous festivals and finished performing at a festival of ‘swiss national day’ in Switzerland. A Swiss TV camera crew followed me on my travel and have filmed it as a documentary which I recently found out has had it’s first TV buyer in Switzerland and there’s great hope for it to air in the UK.
While I’m in the area in March it’d be great to play at Howden Live and so I wondered if you had any possible slots available for me to perform in March? You can find some of my work on my youtube page youtube.com/axe600 and more recent clips, info and footage from my Tractor Tour Documentary on youtube.com/bluesbeatenredshaw. I’ve currently a record on sale and will have my next available by March.
The owners of another venue I’m booked for sent me in your direction as a great supporter of upcoming musicians. It’d be great to play locally ‘n all.
Thanks, have a great day and I look forward to hearing back from you.
Redd.
Dear Howden Live,

Thanks,

Chantel MacGregor lbew me awy. The diminutive blonde in the prom dress and diamante necklace would not have looked out of place picking up a violin, but when she first touched the strings of her electric guitar my bottom jaw hit the floor. What a guitarist! Really felt that I was in the presence of greatness.
I want to send you an email – but can’t find a contact name or an address..help!
I’m the only person who can read this, if you would like to explain what you need help with I’ll see what I can do?
Cheers,
Mark.
Hi Mark – trying to send you info re ENCORE!!
Is there an email address I can access & send attachments to?
It would be useful if you included information how to get to howdenlive. Hull Trains offer trains to Howden station so could be a good resource to add to your website. I have used them before when buying tickets online, they charge no booking fees and no credit card charges
Hi Gareth,
Good idea, thanks for the link, I’ll be updating a couple of pages on here soon so will include that and local bus times too.
Cheers,
Mark.
Hi, I would be grateful if you would kindly tell me who I contact regarding programming at your venue?
That would mostly be me, may I be of any help?
Hi James,

Hi Phil,
Sorry its taken a while to get back to you, The NVB could be a strong possibility for a gig in Howden, we have established an audience with The Northern Showtime orchestra doing Frank Sinatra and Glenn Miller shows, so its not too much of a punt. What sort of fee are you looking for your various combo’s please? If we can come to a mutual agreement we are looking at something in the autumn. My e-mail is markrodger@btinternet.com I guess you have read all about Howden Live and how we go about things on the website? If there is anything else you would like t know please ask.
Cheers,
Mark.
Will not be coming back to here again.seating issues struggled to find seats for me and my girlfriend and a friend. Two pianos sound was terrible and sounded very tinny .a second rate venue. Friend who came with us said it reminded him of a school assembly.
Everyone is entitled to their opinion, there were enough seats to accommodate everyone, the seating is unreserved, what time did you arrive? Last year we had a virtually all new PA system installed which was custom designed for the hall. A professional sound engineer did the sound that night and I suspect he, the band and the rest of the audience would dispute your description of the sound as “very tinny” Not any kind of qualified opinion of a sound system I have ever heard I’m afraid. I’m sorry that your experience of the Shire Hall was not a positive one but I know from interaction with audiences at many different concerts featuring numerous different genres of music that your opinion does not reflect that of the vast majority of people attending concerts at the Shire Hall.
Not sure if this link will work for you here, if it doesn’t go to the group page for Howden Live on Facebook and have a gander at the very well qualified opinions expressed by professional musicians, sound engineers and audience members in response to your critique, all of whom know what we do well, thank you. https://www.facebook.com/groups/639197616122630/1019957898046598/?comment_id=1019958328046555¬if_t=like
