About Me

CANDLELIT is an acoustic music project designed by musicians for musicians. It's ultimate aim is to help promote top quality acoustic music from within myspace.At a small Village Hall in Meden Vale near Mansfield, Nottinghamshire the idea was born from the brilliant UNLIT tour of gifted singer / songwriter JONT. The name is a tribute to JONT'S track Candlelit from his superb CD album SUPERNATURAL - www.myspace.com/jontmusicNow based at the beautiful ROSE & CROWN Pub in Barlborough near Chesterfield - situated just off junction 30 of the M1 motorway - friday nights have become our intimate, social, candlelit acoustic evenings - where we have been fortunate to have hosted some of the finest singer / songwriters plying their trade around the country. The support network - Peter Schwenk, Sue Schwenk, Marie Schwenk ( family pub owners ) and their delightful bar staff ( big mention for Stuart ! ), regulars Steve Mitchell, Shaun Addison, David Jones, Nathan and his family and crew, Jonathan, Gordon Brown ( yes we have a Gordon Brown !! ) Ses and Jan from Meden Vale who have graciously provided accomodation for artists at their beautiful home, Mark and Emma King, Barry & Lisa Cockburn, Ryan Holleywell, David Shields, Damon Downs, Philip Shields and infact everyone who has turned out to support our humble yet beautiful venture.THE BRILLIANT JONT WITH A SUPERB VERSION OF HIS SONG CANDLELIT - OUR FLAGSHIP SONG AND THE INSPIRATION BEHIND THE WHOLE CANDLELIT IDEA.THE SUPERB LUCY WARD WITH A BEAUTIFUL COLDPLAY COVERThe beautiful RAGZ Live at CandlelitTHE WONDERFUL ROB METCALFE Live at CandlelitTHE FABULOUS PAUL HANDYSIDE AND ROB TICKELL LIVE AT CANDLELIT 13TH JULY 2008
