Blue Lantern Sessions: ME and Deboe

ME and Deboe headline the Garret Theatre at Storyhouse on Tuesday 3 November, as part of the Blue Lantern Sessions. It's a special one: the sessions are celebrating their second birthday, and the night follows the same intimate, Jools Holland-style format that's become the series' hallmark.

The Blue Lantern Sessions were started by Igloo Hearts, the Welsh folk-pop duo made up of James and Katie MacGregor. The couple met more than 15 years ago at the Blue Lantern open mic night, which was founded by Neal Thompson and Laura Leigh Dickenson; the sessions grew out of that night and now fill the fairy-lit Garret Theatre, a space prized for its acoustics. The MacGregors host each evening with a short opening set of their own, followed by a support act and then the headline artist. They've appeared on Channel 4's The Piano and S4C's Y Llais (The Welsh Voice), and have played the Liverpool Philharmonic and the Llangollen International Eisteddfod.

On this occasion, the headline spot goes to ME and Deboe, who play harmony-led folk that blends intricate guitar work with intertwined vocals. The two aren't strangers to the Storyhouse stage: they've music directed the Open Air Theatre productions of Romeo & Juliet and Gangs of New York.

It starts at 7:30pm. Tickets are £17.70 for members and £19.50 for non-members.
