Music Café, presented in association with Mojo's, is back with some of the best acoustic acts around.
The entertaining line up in the SJT restaurant will be Belleville, Amaya Huntly, Oliver Banks, Cal Williams and Ross Stirling.
* Belleville, favourites of the jazz festival and club circuit, have been spreading their love of gypsy swing around the country for a year.
Playing in the style of the legendary gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt and virtuoso violinist Stephane Grapelli, Belleville are fiery and passionate yet subtle and sophisticated.
* Australian expat Cal Williams is riding high with a new album, Driving as a Form of Prayer.
The 11-track disc sees Cal on top form with a smooth and captivating blend of folk and blues. Cal plays acoustic guitar and sings, complemented by Ross Stirling on drums, Ian Hulme on flute and bodhran, and David Moss on violin and viola. Ross will join Cal at the SJT.
The antipodean singer, songwriter and guitarist lives in Whitby and occasionally plays in Scarborough, performing his gentle and emotive songs at the midweek gigs at Mojo's and at the annual Beached festival.
* Amaya Huntly, 17, is studying French, German and music at the Sixth Form College.
She said: "I have played the piano classically for 12 years, the violin for 10 years and began singing and writing songs two years ago."
Writing songs is her main hobby and as well as wanting to start her own band she wants to go on to study music further at university or at a music college in London.
* Scarborough singer/guitarist Oliver Banks said: "Most of my songs came about while writing music for my film Nine Hundred Miles/Heroes in the Seaweed, which will hopefully be released before the end of the year."
Both Oliver and Amaya performed at this year's Beached festival.
The second Music Café Night will be on Saturday December 10 at 8.30pm.
Tickets can be booked by ringing (01723) 370541.

THE line-up to commemorate John Peel Day in Scarborough has been announced.
The first anniversary of the DJ's death tomorrow will be observed in Scarborough by a respectful tribute at Vivaz, where musicians will pay homage.
Promoter Anthony Springall says: "The general idea is to celebrate everything in relation to John Peel, to celebrate what he stood for and why he meant so much to so many generations of music lovers and creatives."
Acts wishing to perform can email editor@upforit.tv or ring 07930 234623.
Anthony says: "The doors open at 8pm and within the first hour you'll be treated to half an hour of the most fantastic tunes picked by Godzilla and Eric from John Peel's huge playlist heritage, followed by three of Scarborough's most talented and talked about original acoustic artists Billy Nielson, Mat Harrop and Carl Woodford."
Nearly all the acts are creating and playing specially learnt or written material unique to the evening.
Anthony adds: "The night is an inclusive evening, please feel free to bring along your own anecdotes, stories or favourite recordings of either John Peel or bands that have been played on his show and we'll do our best to include them in the proceedings."
The event will be audio recorded and captured on camera then uploaded online to gurilla.tv, a new Scarborough based creative media collective website.
Each act will be playing three tunes, so just like one of John Peel's shows, if one act or type of music isn't to your taste, another will be along soon.
Further details can be found at http://www.gurilla.tv.
The Negatives, whose debut single Love is Not Real was among the venerated DJ's top-100 singles, return to Indigo Alley tonight.
The Bradford band is likely to be featured on a TV programme on Peel early next month.

THE Eagles tribute band - the B'Eagles will play at the Spa Theatre on Friday.
The tribute band has gained the reputation as the world's finest tribute show dedicated to the sounds of the Eagles.

Playing over 200 shows a year, both in the UK and abroad, this accomplished band, with an impeccable musical pedigree, invite you to Take It Easy, with the greatest hits of the Eagles.
Formed from the nucleus of The Stu Page Band, a band who had worldwide recognition for their songwriting abilities and often compared to that of the Eagles country rock style, B'Eagles have gone from strength to strength wowing audiences both home and abroad.
The band have already been well received in Ireland, United Arab Emirates, Oman, Scandinavia, South Africa, Switzerland and Germany.
In this stunning two hour show, you will hear, Hotel California, Take it Easy, Lyin' Eyes, Tequila Sunrise, Desperado, Take it to the Limit and Life in the Fast Lane.

A NEW series of lunchtime concerts at Scarborough Library continues tomorrow with pianist Vincent Billington.
Vincent will give an informal selection of popular classics, some of which he hasn't played in Scarborough before.
Maria Billington, who organises the concerts and will narrate this one, says: "He brings with him a wealth of experience from the concert world, and his dry humour is very popular in many parts of the world. His programme will include music that he has performed in China, Japan, Australia and the USA. At present he is in the middle of a gruelling nationwide tour with Terry Waite which includes Oxfordshire, Worcestershire, Cumbria and Glasgow."
Admission is by collection at the door.
The concert begins at 12.30pm.

MATT Monro, born Terry Parsons, died 20 years ago at the age of 54 ... but his music has lived on through his recordings. He had hits with Born Free, Softly, Portrait of My Love and From Russia with Love.
His son, Matt Monro JR, intends to recreate his music as well as conjur memories of his father in a 20th anniversary celebration tour which stops at the Futurist in Scarborough next Wednesday.
"The tour that I am doing this year to mark the 20th anniversary of my dad's death has been a dream of mine for 28 years.
"Back in 1977 when I was 13 years old, my dad was doing a summer season at The Windmill Theatre in Great Yarmouth. On the final night, unbeknown to me, my dad brought me up on stage to do a duet with him and it struck me for the first time that this man was not my dad, he was Matt Monro, the singer. It was the most frightening night of my life but it was also the greatest. That evening I swore I was going to share the stage again with him but unfortunately it never happened.
 "The closest to it was when I was invited to record an album for EMI. The technical age has advanced so much that it was suggested that we merge both dad's voice and my own and thus produce a CD of duets. "The result: "Matt Sings Monro" which includes 14 tracks some of which are among my own personal favourites.
"I hope each and every one of you enjoys this show as much as I have had in putting it together and I will have performing it. All those years ago I had a dream, 28 years later it is now a reality, I will now share the stage with my dad once again."

RAILROAD BILL will headline a fundraising gig in aid of the mental-health charity Mind Bill at the Tap and Spile tomorrow.

VICK Hollingsworth and Soul Republic return to the New Tavern pub on Saturday, from 7.30pm until midnight.

TOM DAVENPORT is the new host for the Ram Jam open-mic nights at the Ramshill every Tuesday night.
All musicians of every style, including poets, rappers, a-capella singers, are welcome to go and do a spot.
Tom's delayed 14-track CD entitled Collection is almost ready and should be available from gigs and Record Revivals within the next fortnight.
Tom is still playing a Wednesday evening residency at the Cask.
Tom can also be seen at the Nix tomorrow, the Royal Oak in Humanby (Sat). the Pickwick (21st), the Plough in Scalby (22nd) and with guest Rob Simpson at both the Cask (28th) and Cellars (29th).

RUSSIAN pianist Andrei Ivanovich is about to return to Scarborough for three concerts.
Andrei was a big hit when he gave a piano recital at Queen Street Central Hall and a concerto with Scarborough Orchestra at Scarborough College last year.
This year he is playing a lunchtime concert organised by the Friends of Scarborough Library at 12.30pm on Friday and evening concerts at Scarborough College on Saturday and the Stephen Joseph Theatre a week on Sunday (23rd), both at 7.30pm.
Les Banks of the Friends group says Andrei will be playing a Beethoven sonata (opus 26), a Prokofiev sonata (opus 83, no 7) and Debussy's Suite Bergamasque.
Les says: "He used the library Bechstein last year for practice and enjoyed playing it, since when it has been fully restored and is now a beautiful instument which will really show off the talent of this outstanding performer."
Rehearsals for Scarborough Orchestra's first concert of the 2005-6 season are well advanced under its new conductor.
Shaun Matthew has taken over from the orchestra's conductor of 10 years, Geoffrey Emerson, who moved to Scotland in the summer.
Shaun is no stranger to the orchestra, having played the tuba in two recent concerts and was delighted to take over as conductor, says publicist Stewart Thorp.
He has worked with several professional orchestras, notably and most recently the BBC and Huddersfield Philharmonics.
The concert of all-Russian music includes the third and most difficult of Rachmaninov's piano concertos.
Other works in the programme are Glinka's popular Ruslan and Ludmilla overture and Tchaikovsky's powerful fourth symphony.

HARDCORE punk duo Assert headlines a five-act bill at the Pickwick on Friday, from 9pm until 1am.
Needles Swellbelly and Britt Assert, from Telford, are on tour to support the release of a new DVD and sound like a clash between Motorhead and Discharge.
Pony Club, one of the town's most popular bands, have reformed to revive their pumping party feeling with their fireball hybrid of ska and punk.
Sharing the bill are Puritan, who mix U2 and the Manics; Digga, whose lush flowing rap skills show he doesn't need a backing band; and Oliver Koppert, who will open the evening with highly emotive acoustic music that moved some people to tears at this year's Beached festival.
The evening will be hosted by Captain Ants' projections and his weird synth.

SINGER, songwriter and guitarist Boo Hewerdine will play tracks from his new album at Scholars tonight.
Tomorrow morning he will become the first performer at Scholars' Wednesday sessions to give a songwriting masterclass for creative music technology students at Hull University's Scarborough campus.
The singer is expected to release his Harmonograph CD in January.
In the meantime, he has released an EP containing four tracks: Ontario, White Lies, Hummingbird and Sleeping Beauty.
As well as making his own records Boo has, for the last nine years, worked with his partner, former Fairground Attraction singer Eddi Reader.
He wrote her Brit award winning hit Patience of Angels, for which he was nominated for an Ivor Novello award.
Boo, whose album Thanksgiving received four-star reviews in Q and Mojo, has also worked with the Corrs, and his songs have been covered by kd lang, the Nashville Bluegrass Band, Alison Brown and Paul Young.
Promoter Mark Gordon called him "one of the finest songwriters of his generation, and a spine-tingling performer to boot."
The tracks on the new LP are The Girl Who Fell in Love With the Moon, Weatherman, Ontario, Butterfly (On a Pin), Sugar on the Pill, Slow Learner, Sing to Me, Patience of Angels, Submarines, Nameless, Mountains and I Felt Her Soul Move Through Me
Tickets can be bought at the venue, Record Revivals, the Tap and Spile and online.

BIG FRONT DOOR, the second album by Janis Haves, will be performed live when she visits Scholars next Wednesday.
The title comes from a birthday card to Janis from her producer/guitarist husband Geoff.
He says the image on the card, of a little girl jumping up at a big door, reminded him of Janis and her irrepressible energy.
Janis loved it so much she tracked down the artist (Jan Citroen) and got her permission to use it as the album cover.
It became the face of a new collection of songs, many of which have a distinctly personal experience behind them.
Promoter Mark Gordon says: "Though nodding gently towards contempory folk, but with melodies that suggest a slight pop sensibility, what really stands out on this album is Janis's evocative voice and remarkable songwriting."
The approach for the album stemmed from a concert in which Janis and Geoff were joined on stage by Brad Lang on a 1930s stand-up bass.
The trio were joined on the album by Graham Walker on drums and keyboards man Pete Wingfield.
