Celebrated Cornish singer songwriter Ruarri Joseph will play a headline show to support the release of his new album ‘Both Sides of The Coin’, at the Princess Pavilion in Falmouth on Friday 6th February.

Support for the show comes from local singer songwriter Ryan Jones, a popular face on the Cornish music scene who will open the proceedings. Well known as being front man of indie rockers The Hitchcock Rules, Ryan will be performing a selection of his enchanting narrative led indie folk.

Main support comes from Louis Eliot, a songwriter who can boast an apprenticeship in the greatest lost Brit-rock band of the Nineties, Kinky Machine. After years clocking up air miles and selling thousands of records at the helm of Kinky Machine and later Brit Pop big hitters Rialto, Louis returned to his native Cornwall to concentrate on his folkier, less metropolitan side to his music. Stripped down, acoustic based and reminiscent of everything from Neil Young’s ‘Harvest Moon’ to Becks’ ‘Sea Change’ to Elliot Smith at his most haunting. Louis Eliot live delivers nothing but proof of his gift for a timeless tune.

For Ruarri himself 2009 has had a promising start, last weekend he performed live on Dermot O’leary’s Radio 2 show - The session was a huge success with even Dermot overwhelmed at the amount of positive Ruarri based texts and emails that came flooding into the studio post session. For the month of January Ruarri will be the featured artist at Café Nero – 20 minutes of his music will be played daily in 380 shops around the UK.

Locally Ruarri will be co-hosting the ‘Evening Show’ with Victoria Leigh from 7pm til 9pm on Atlantic FM on Monday 19th January as well as live performing live on ‘Radio Wave’ the student radio station at Falmouth University details tbc.

December 2008 saw two of Ruarri’s songs ending up in the iTunes Top 100 (Red Mist no.25 and Run The World No.26), he was also featured as one of the iTunes ‘Hot Tip’s for 2009’ alongside the likes of The White Lies, Florence & The Machine, La Roux & Dan Black.
