The set list includes classics like Fire and Rain, Shower The People, You’ve Got A Friend, Carolina In My Mind, Don’t Let Me Be Lonely Tonight, Sweet Baby James, and Many other of his and Carole King hits. Fire and Rain is not a tribute band, but simply a collection of five of the best musicians from the North of England coming together to play music they love. Expect classic James Taylor and Carole King songs played with skill, passion, emotion, humour and humility. Incredibly in-demand musicians, Tom Townsend (The Tom Townsend Blues Band), Rich Adams and Mark Gordon (Stony), Paul Tilley and Bob Walker.
