Acoustic Night in The Loft
Wednesday 3rd, 8.30pm. Entrance charge £1
Set in the eves of an historic 17th century building we welcome Drew Stephenson - Dark acoustic songs about death interspersed with funk, anger,
monkeys and air traffic controllers.
He has been playing and writing songs since he was at college in
Edinburgh. Starting off in folk sessions he soon put together his first band and went electric, unlike Dylan, no-one cried "Judas".
Since then there have been many bands and many changes of direction but he has now really begun to craft out his own sound as a solo performer. A new cellist has added depth and resonance to an already dynamic act.
"Slow songs with nice, strong melodies. Drew Stephenson delivers his vocals with a meaning and thoughtfulness that many singers would sneer in envy at." Sandman magazine

Whisky Tasting with The Balvenie Distillery
Thursday 11th, 7.30pm
Whisky tasting and two-course meal; Haggis for main and Cranachan for desert for £15 (members), £18 (non-members).
The Balvenie Distillery lies at the heart of Speyside, in the Scottish Highlands. Housed in a converted eighteenth century mansion, Balvenie New House, The Balvenie Distillery has been making distinctive high-quality whiskies since 1893. The Balvenie Distillery retains and nurtures a high level of craftsmanship that many other malt whisky producers no longer employ: growing its own barley, malting its own traditional floor maltings and employing a team of coopers to tend all the casks and a coppersmith to maintain the stills.
The Balvenie is a unique range of single malts created by David Stewart, The Balvenie Malt Master for over thirty years. Each has a very individual taste: rich, smooth and underpinned by a distinctive honeyed character. The tasting will take you through a range of malts which may include:
The Balvenie DoubleWood 12 Year Old
The Balvenie Signature 12 Year Old
The Balvenie Single Barrel 15 Year Old
The Balvenie PortWood 21 Year Old
The Balvenie Madeira Cask 17 Years Old
Set in the eves of an historic 17th century building we welcome some members of the York Songwriters Circle will present an evening of music and entertainment.
