Dar Williams... New York's most loved hippy...Folk Rock Singer...
plays to packed audiences all of the United Kingdom at her UK November, 2009 Tour..
suppported by talented singer songwriters Adriana form Scotland and Lynne Hanson from Ottawa, Canada

Dar Williams is one of the true believers left in the world of "tell it as it is" ..as it was when she was at college during the good old "Hippy Days" where "honesty "and "The Truth is the Truth " was an expected norm, rather than rather than as it is now where "The Truth" has been replaced by what is called "political correctness".. The name of one of Dars first album's sums Dar's honest stanced on life aptly named "Honesty Room"...Dar Williams is a travelling "Honesty Room" when she sings and chats to her spell bound audiences that hang on to each spoken and sung word and musical sound that comes from Dar at all her performances...Dar Williams is never allowed to leave the stage without being demanded back at least three times untill Dar is so tired she just has to end it to go an have a cup of Organic Tea heated by a solar powered kettle...even though she was having trouble finding the sun while in Edinburgh in good old "Sunny Scotland" which Dar Williams describes as a city with so many beautiful things to get lost amongst..and may even end up dropping out there is later years when she makes her "Rock and Roll Millions".. Ha.Ha. Ha...as she says in great jest..as Dar Williams even though being one of the most talented people in the music business, would never swap her honesty and unwillingness to sell out to become just another Pop Singer for the money and the fame....Dar Williams in fact has a lot of trouble dealing with her new found world success as one of the greatest folk Rock singers this century ..
The USAWeeklyNews has been filming Dar Williams for the last few years all around the world and is in the process in producing a music documentary of DarWilliams
called "Honesty Room" which will premier on Australian Television and then around the rest of the world

Dar writes and sings her own amazing folk songs with a solid back band to put the rock into the folk. Street Teamers Needed For Northeast Tour! If you are interested in being a Street Team member to help distribute posters and fliers in your hometown, please email: dartour@gmail . com . For tour dates see: http://www . darwilliams . com About Dar Williams "With every album, I’m trying to figure out what I don’t have to say, while still giving each song its due," Dar Williams says. Of her new album, Promised Land, Williams commented, "On this one, I was paring the stories down to their core. I wanted the songs to sound simple and down to what they were meant to be, which is hard to do. It takes a lot of knowledge to get to the point where you can say what you need to say — no more, no less." To peel her insightful, melodic story-songs down to their essence, as well as inject them with the energy and momentum they clearly called for, Williams enlisted Brad Wood, a Grammy-nominated producer and musician known for his work with rock singer-songwriters Liz Phair, Pete Yorn, and Ben Lee. "Dar was looking to try something different and get out of her comfort zone," Wood says. "She had made a number of records and it seemed like a good time, career-wise, for her to make a chan I was flattered that she thought to ask me to help. Her voice is so great that you can do just about anything behind her and it’s going to sound cool!" Personally inspired by the spindly live feel of late '70s/early '80s albums by the Police, Elvis Costello, and the Pretenders, Wood manages to make Williams' elegant, worldly songs sound visceral and urgent, while preserving the integrity and emotion that have been hallmarks of her sound (along with a beautifully intimate, bell-clear voice) since Williams began playing out on the Northeast singer-songwriter circuit in the early ’90s. “Brad understood the songs and gave them the space they needed,” Williams says. “I love that clean, straightforward sound he gets.” And so Promised Land includes several immediately engaging toe-tappers, such as “It’s Alright,” “The Easy Way,” “Buzzer,” and “Go to the Woods,” as well as Williams’ trademark thoughtful balladry, including the keenly felt “Book of Love,” “The Tide Falls Away,” and “You Are Everyone. http://www . darwilliams . com In the past, Williams’ songwriting has located the personal in such universal topics as politics, religion, sexuality, and family. This time, rather than tie the songs together around any particular theme.  JAMES McMURTRY will performon Monday 12 October at the The Bongo Club @ 7:30pm  JUST ANNOUNCED!!

Justin Butcher
             Assembly presents another set of outstanding shows at the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe Fest
Justin Butcher, his director-producer Guy Masterson and Assemby presented one of the most outstanding performances at 2009 Edinburgh Fringe Fest with the one man play Scaramouche Jones.
" Justin Butcher performed well within the standard of a royal variety perfomance in his one man play Scaramouche Jones, and there was no hesitation in awarding Justin Butcher and his director-propducer Guy Masterson a USA Weekly News  100 Star Award for Scaramouch Jones....those that were lucky enough to see the one and only performance of  Scaramouch Jones were very fortunate indeed....".....USA Weekly News . .  
However, these is another play with Justin Butcher to see at the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe Fest that is also a show not to be missed called Go To Gaza, Drink The Sea, at Assembly at 2.30 pm being performed from the 6th August till the 30th August, 2009. 
In Go To Gaza, Drink The Sea, Justin Butcher (Scaramouche Jones) and Ahmed Masoud conjure up a multi media Palestinian-British theatre alchemy. ' a harrowing joiurney into a very modern heart of darkness' (Stage') 'Profane witty, poetic, a voice form Gaza Beach itself ' (Tribune)

Scaramouche Jones ....Assemby Goerge Street one and only show....Monday 24th August

 'I went to see Scaramouche Jones. One man and a few props. The energy and accents ranging from his beginning of life, being born to a black mother and an unknown English Man. Justin Butcher is totally brilliant at imitating a brilliant Trinidanian accent and then an extremely posh English Gentlemans accent. From his birth and extremely early learnings of sitting in on his mothers brothel business. She, His mother, the Madame and prostitiute. He the inquisitive child, trying to find which of his mother's customers could be his father. Scaramouche's rabid energy takes him world wide being carried by impressed princes for his beautiful white skin. Scaramouche slaves himself to the princes demands but manages to keep intact a noble and proud spirit. He never finds his father and has so much sympathy to human kind as he amuses children who are about to be shot by nazi officers. As the shot is aimed the childs last breath of life is down to a smile given to them by Scaramouche's clown antics as he digs graves for the dead to be burried in.

Whirling through life from childhood to 51 no one would envy his life for a slave, he has always had to be but a romantic non complaining inquisitve slave, who never complains and ends his life with a bunch of reprobates who like himself have been the subject of slavery but the others who he meets to tell the story of his life to are too drunk on alcohol with their unhappiness of their lives and Scaramouche has avoided this for had he been a slave to self destruction he would never have appreciated all he saw.

 A brilliant piece that lasts an hour and a half. I  could not move for the duration as I followed Justin's breathtaking movements and changes in history form 1900 to 1951.' Sophie Gatacre INL News

Another great show to see is the Cubicle on at 3.25pm at the Counting House-devised from people's thoughts on toilet doors, we see snippets of a selection of bizarre characters obsessions, heartbreak and gneral crudeness. The piece is entirley collaborative and gives a new twist to the phrase 'toilet humour'.  The Cubicle is followed by another free fringe show not to be missed, 'the 80's Movie Flashback' , a comic look at your 80's movie characters and where they are now,  starring Rachel Anderson, Rik Moore and Fraser ( BBC Radio I's 'My Flatmate the comedian')....'Fabulously funny original gags'..(Chortle.co.uk).

2. Sarjeela Kersho introduces one of the perfomers at the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe Fest during the a show show hosts called "The Spirit of the Fringe" which is on every night at the Counting House at about 10pm which provides the general pubic and people involved with other fringe shows a chance to view short taster previews of other shows and finf ouit what are the hot shows being performed at Alex Petty's Free Fringe and other fringe shows during the 2009 Edinburgh Fringe Fest.
3, 4 and 5: The cast from Death Of A Samurai excited about their USA Weekly News 100 Star Award for being an exceptional show that is way above the ordinary five star standard for a Fringe Performance. In 2006 the SA Weekly News created the USA Weekly News 100 Star Award for fringe shows that are way above the average five star standard as the fringe equivalent to an Academy Award of the Fringe. The first fringe shows to receive a USA Weekly News 100 Star award in 2006 was Love Labours Won,  a Shakespearean verse style play with Black Adder style comedy, written by the up and coming playwright-Singer Songwriter, Ryan J Smith. The Editor for the USA Weekly News  described Love Labours Won as "Trendy Shakespeare" and stated in the review that "if there were 100 stars available to give Love Labours Won, I would have to give this show 100 Stars". From then on the USA Weekly News 100 Star Award was born. The USA Weekly News tries to review as many shows a possible each year that perform in all the various segments of the Edinburgh Fringe Fest,  such as Street Buskers,  the Free Festival, The Free Fringe Festival, the Five Pound Fringe, and all the other venues where there is a few charged to see a fringe show. There is a misconception that just because a fringe show does not have a set price tag in it, such as the the free fringe shows and street theatre, that such shows are not as good as the paid ones. It seems that the the Scotsman, Three Weeks, The List, USA Weekly News,  the Fringe Shows Have Talent Team, and other fringe reviewers, have discovered the some of the most outstanding talent can be found amongst the free fringe shows and street theatre busking.  At the Edinburgh Fringe Fest,  you have to keep your eyes open, as you never know when you are going to find that absolute Gem, where you will instantly say to yourselves that this act will be on the world entertainment circuit before long.
