Biography

Nick Harper ? Tempus Fugitive
?Betjemen with a guitar? ? Guitarist Magazine
?Acoustic Hendrix!? ? Guitar Magazine
Acclaimed guitarist-singer-songwriter Nick Harper plays from his latest album ?Tempus
Fugitive? and extensive back catalogue. This is not a normal ?one man and guitar? show.
In a new, uniquely styled, acoustically driven album and live show, Nick explores the
past, present and future in his own singular way. Expect everything from the emotional
to the political, from witty to virtuosic; the singular to the universal.?One of the finest guitarists of his generation, his soaring vocal range and propensity for epic song place him somewhere between Rufus Wainright and Jeff Buckley. Thus far, however, putting his musical freedom before the demands of career, his talents have gone largely unrewarded. Miracles For Beginners, his most focused, warm and triumphant album to date, could right that wrong.?

Katie Fitzgeralds has built a reputation for live music and parties but it's about more than that its also about history and tradition.

Originally a private house the building is over 200 years old and has been a pub since the 1830 Beer Act.

In the 19th century it would have been home to foundry workers and boatmen and would have looked out across to the Stourbridge canal arm where Foster and Rastrick built the Stourbridge Lion the first steam locomotive to run on rails in the USA.

Originally known as the Golden Lion it later became known as the Stourbridge Lion and then in 2000 it
became our home and was renamed in honour of Trina's grandmother Katie Fitzgerald who was born in Cloyne County Cork.

Trina is related to Irelands most famous hurling player Christy Ring, a son of Cloyne and is also cousin of Donal ag Cusack , Irelands first openly gay sportsman.
