For over thirty years Oysterband have managed to perform a balancing act which they have made into a fine art - combining the ideals and knowledge of English folk music with the fire of punk.  Their deft mix of poetry, politics and insanely catchy melodies have made this 5-piece one of the greatest folk-rock ensembles of all time.

In their live set  they perfrom an acoustic journey through classic and rare gems from the Oysterband songbook presented in the inimitable, upfront Oyster style - energetic and melodic songs sparked by clever and insightful lyrics.

“No other folk-rock band has the magnetism and verve of the Oysters live” Daily Telegraph.

All this longing follows the success of Reg Meuross's previous album 'Dragonfly' , which received excellent reviews and extensive airplay in the UK and America, and took Reg to The Royal Albert Hall.

This new, all-acoustic album features Reg on a variety of instruments including six string and tenor guitars, and brings together 12 beautiful and original songs. Hailed as a true British troubadour, Reg takes us into the worlds of true-life lovers, singers and poets in an unforgettable, haunting journey.

All This Longing also features the talents of Paul Sartin from Bellowhead, Andy Cuttting on accordion, Jackie Oates on viola, Fairground Attraction’s Roy Dodds on percussion and Simon Edwards on bass.

The imperturbably swinging fiddler and stylish singer Elana James has been keeping impressive company, touring with Bob Dylan and Willie Nelson, but she's at her most engaging in the Hot Club of Cowtown, an Austin, Texas, string trio featuring guitarist-vocalist Whit Smith and bassist-vocalist Jake Erwin. Whether tearing through standards or playing buoyant originals, the Hot Club combines the ebullient rhythmic bounce of Django Reinhardt with the cool Texas twang of Bob Wills.

“The world’s most engaging Western Swing band – their shows are all about energy and joie de vivre – the devil-may-care style that combined the rigour of jazz with the down-home sentiment of country and earthiness of the blues – it is as a live act that they have made their greatest impact.”

“The new album, ‘Wishful Thinking’, is one of their most polished efforts so far, but to catch the Hot Club at full temperature, you really need to see the group in the flesh.” The Sunday Times 12/07/09

“Ten Best Gigs - The Texas Trio stand at that crossroads where country meets jazz and chases the blues away!” The Independent 02/05/09

"Hot Club have spirit, originality and skill that would surely have impressed Stephane Grappelli and Django Reinhardt.” The Guardian 01/05/09
