Headliner:
Ruby and the Rib Cage
Ruby and the Rib Cage is the collective works of singer/songwriter Ruby, and her backing band, the Rib Cage. They formed in the summer of 2011 after Ruby auditioned over 30 musicians, in the living room of her teeny, tiny East London flat. After searching high and low for a guitarist,
serendipity brought Aaron Brookes to the Rib Cage, and the band was finaly complete: Eddie Edwards (double bass), Ellie Garlick (viola and violin), Sam Pert (drums and percussion) and Aaron Brookes (guitar).
Ruby‘s songs are a patchwork quilt of stories and melodies, created by her and enhanced by the playings and workings of the Rib Cage. Tales of trodden weeds and helter skelters, shrapnel rust and sea sick sailors, stiff stuffed pigeons and lovers and haters, north wind bellows and storm creators.
Her take on a mix of folk and blues style writings, teamed with powerful soaring vocals and an incredibly talented group of musicians, makes for a truly unique and exciting new band.

hi
is there a Piano/keyboard at the venue?
Many Thanks
Hi Kirstenana,
There are no instruments at Bedroom Bar so you will have to bring your own. We do have guitar and bass amps and a kit there that can be set up if needed…

How long are the slots? We’re trying to work out how much material to prepare
Roughly about 10-15 minutes but it depends also on how many people turn up on the night too.
