As well as being a top notch facility where BBC Radio 2’s ‘Whispering Bob Harris’ now records a lot of his Under the Apple Tree sessions these days, the recently-opened new Harrogate studio Warehouse has started hosting exclusive monthly live gigs with emerging acts hand-picked and introduced by Harris himself.

The next one in this intimate setting takes place tonight Friday, November 25 with a simply stunning line-up – Dexeter, Diagrams, Tom Blackwell – all names familiar to Harris’s listeners on national radio.

Dexeter are a UK country music band that Harris himself has described as being like a "country Fleetwood Mac".

Diagrams, meanwhile, are the latest project by Sam Genders (Ex-Tunng).

As always, the night will also showcase local talent, in this case Becky Mills, and will have the added bonus of food and drink courtesy of award-winning chef Andy Annat.

Last month’s brilliant gig at Warehouse featured amazing Harrogate singer Holly Rose Webber, Roy’s daughter, whose self-penned, emotionally-charged, melodically memorable country-flavoured brand of rock-pop went down a storm.
