| Saturday 27th November | Venue | Time | Price | | Kieran Goss
Twenty years on from his debut album, it's good to hear that Kieran Goss is still adept at his stock in trade; superior folk-pop songs with sparse arrangements... Lyrically, some songs, such as Shining Like A Sun and the whimsical, dusty-road ditty, The Reason Why, land sunny-side up; others, like I'll Be Seeing You and Into Your Arms, have longing on their mind and evoke a slight tug on the heart-strings. Either way, whatever emotional trials have beset the writer in recent times, he lines his troubles with a winningly amiable optimism, a gift that should keep his song-writing powers in demand for years to come....
