About The Events

ROB JONES ROB WHITE return to Prohibition on November 14th to launch their new acoustic album, Minor Poems in Minor Keys. CD copies of the album will be available to purchase on the night, priced £10 (cash only) along with a newly re- mastered re-release of their 2010 album, Thirty.

LIVERPOOL ACOUSTIC: “Rob Jones Rob White have quietly built a reputation as one of Liverpool’s best-kept musical secrets. Known for their sharp lyrics, finely tuned harmonies, and dry humour, the duo weave tales of love, loss, and everyday absurdities with effortless style. With roots in Merseyside’s rich musical landscape, both Robs bring decades of experience to the stage. Their live shows are intimate, engaging affairs – often veering between laughter and poignancy in the same song. Their songs continue to explore themes of romantic regret and quiet triumphs, delivered with their trademark warmth and honesty.”

IAN D. HALL (Liverpool Sound Vision): The harmonies, of which Simon and Garfunkel would be proud, are beautiful but with a generous sprinkle of Merseyside realism; the effect of the combination is just something to behold.

Shadow Captain:

Shadow Captain is the brainchild of Liverpool singer-songwriter and musician Stuart Todd.

Starting out playing in folk clubs and acoustic nights, Stuart worked with classical guitarist Neil Campbell in the acoustic duo Campbell Todd. He began fronting his own group The Freebies; to promote his first solo album A Question Of Time, before the formation of Three Minute Hero and eventually Shadow Captain.

During the 2010s, Stuart Todd found success as an award-winning promoter with Graham Holland and Liverpool Acoustic. As bass player, Stuart has backed numerous artists including Mark Pountney, Alun Parry and the group Only Child.

Shadow Captain recorded the albums April Moon and Artifacts with top producer and engineer Andy Fernihough. The tracks Hey Django and The Room’s Too Bare have received radio airplay on BBC Music Introducing. Following a change of direction, a new album Abflug was released in 2024 to critical acclaim. This was immediately followed by another album Abbesses in 2025.
