by Ethos public relations

After the successful 'Back To Our Place' opening season legendary Manchester venue Band on the Wall are delighted to announce their new season of 2010 concerts.

The new season, entitled 'Winter Into Spring 2010, kicks off with Justin Adams, who worked with Robert Plant for eight years, being joined by Juldeh Camara, on 15 January.

Acclaimed musician, composer and producer Nitin Sawhney then takes over the venue for 10 days when he and an internationally assembled group of singers, instrumentalists and MCs from Manchester, Genova and Marseille come together to create a unique concert from scratch on 30 January as well as special club night and a special talk by Sawhney about his life as a musician.

Also in the season legendary Yes guitarist Steve Howe brings his Trio to the venue (11 March) and Dan Berglund, former e.s.t. bassist, releases his first solo recording and will showcase it with Dan Berglund's Tonbruket (25 March).

Rising world music star Yasmin Levy, 1980s icons Swing Out Sister, the great American soul singer Marlena Shaw and internationally acclaimed trumpet player, composer and producer Nils Petter Molvaer all play at the venue in the coming months.

And of course Mr Scruff continues his 'Keep It Unreal' monthly residency at the venue on the first Saturday of every month.

Mike Chadwick, Music Programmer at Band on the Wall said: "The programme we have out together for the first season of 2010 is one that should keep every music fan happy. We have Mercury Music Prize nominees, MOBO winners, artists that have had phenomenal success in the past and artists that are bursting on the scene and making their mark across many genres of music.

"They will all take to the stage at one of the country?s most historic venues and bring their own unique music styles to fans and I for one can not wait!"
