The Velveteen Orkestra
Feb
14

The Velveteen Orkestra

The Velveteen Orkestra has the ability to make audiences swoon while, at the same time, casting forth an air of unease with their intoxicating hybrid of rich romanticism and brutal intensity. Embodying essences of European folk and Americana with nodding acquaintances to Neil Young, Nick Cave, Tom Waits and Radiohead, their sound can gently pluck at your heartstrings while, at the same time, delicately slipping them around your neck. 

 The Velveteen Orkestra are a ragged-trousered rock and roll orchestra conceived in a leaky, shadow-veiled district of South London. Bellowing out from underneath the grey brutalist tower blocks named in honour of romantic poets is a sound that is both savage, yet elegant… animal, yet noble… honest, yet fantastical. 

 Their pulsating live shows are attracting audiences for their rich romanticism and brooding intensity, as well as their sparkling sense of humour. Lead Singer/Guitarist Dan Shears emits a gilt-edged voice from a spindle-limbed frame, evoking memories of Jeff Buckley at his heart-aching best.

The Blues Broadcasting Corporation

4-piece band with guitars, British Bluescasting Corporation

Award-winning band with Top 20 album and international airplay

The band was the brainchild of Bob Cranham, a guitarist/songwriter/producer with almost 50 years’ experience in the music business. Starting out as a duo with fellow guitarist, Ben Keen, it rapidly became the 4-piece band we have today when Barry Cook joined on drums and Dave Williamson on bass. Once the line-up was in place Bob started writing songs for the band quickly followed by Ben & Dave making their contributions to a set list that mixes original material with some of the classic blues “standards” that we all know and love.

The BBC’s debut album, HIGH HORSE, available now on CD and all major digital platforms, reached No. 14 on the Roots Music Report UK Chart and No.21 on the worldwide blues broadcast chart compiled by the IBBA. Two singles followed, Footsteps of the Poor & Right Place Wrong Time. All 12 tracks on the album and both singles have received extensive airplay across the UK, Europe and the USA.

Touki
Nov

Touki

Amadou Diagne has centuries of West African music at his fingertips. Cory Seznec is a musical wanderer and uncertified ethnomusicologist. A chance encounter while busking in Bath planted the seeds of a collaboration that’s been fermenting now for over a decade. Those seedlings are shooting up into the light with a prestigious Arts Council of England grant and the release of their sophomore album, Plastic Man, recorded at the legendary Real World Studios.

Touki means “journey” in Wolof, Diagne’s mother tongue. Plastic Man focuses on climate change, environmental activism and spiritual matters—drawing together West African fables, personal stories and the social, economic and political challenges facing both developing countries and western ones. This is music that asks ecological, spiritual, and political questions.

Born into a griot family of percussionists and praise singers in Dakar, Diagne is not your ordinary griot. Though he draws heavily on Coastal African sounds and rhythms, he has forged his own identity as a songwriter and multi-instrumentalist. A self-taught kora player (he was prohibited from studying in Senegal because he did not descend from a lineage of kora players) and guitarist (he developed a signature style to accompany his powerhouse voice), he has developed a unique and intricate style to accompany his powerful, rich, high-pitched voice, drawing on his skills as a percussionist. His music has been featured in Songlines, BBC 3 Late Junction and fRoots.

A French-American in Paris, Seznec’s fingerstyle guitar-playing is syncopated, polyrhythmic, cross-pollinated and idiosyncratic. He also plays banjo and wades in the deep river of American song. Busking misadventures with Malian musicians in the Paris metro led him to Songhai songsters in Timbuktu and ancient omutibo guitarists in Western Kenya. Feverish touring with the world roots trio Groanbox gave him his sea legs. But a three-year stint in Ethiopia is what cracked everything open. These experiences shaped Seznec into an artist who traces the through-line across musical cultures and whose songs let the past reverberate in the present.

As they sail through the crosscurrents our complex world, Touki understands that the

musical voyage itself is the destination.

“A scintillating sequel to Ali Farka Touré & Ry Cooder’s Talking Timbuktu.” —ROLLING STONE

“A subtle and fresh fusion that is further boosted by Seznec’s voice, a dextrous, resonant drawl that brings out the color of his songs.” —SONGLINES

Paolo Hewitt: An evening with the Mavericks
Nov

Paolo Hewitt: An evening with the Mavericks

Paolo Hewitt is the author of twenty six books, covering a variety of subjects, from music to football to fashion to his time in the care system.

Four of his biggest sellers are his two books on Oasis, Getting High and Forever The People, his biography of former Small Faces and Humble Pie frontman, Steve Marriott, and his biography of the footballer, Robin Friday.

Not only were all the books highly acclaimed at time of publication, but they carry a common theme – at the centre of all of them are mavericks.

Noel and Liam Gallagher, Steve Marriott and Robin Friday all operated out side of the normal rules, creating fascinating and compelling and hugely entertaining life stories that inspire many.

In AN EVENING WITH THE MAVERICKS Paolo will discuss these individuals, relate hilarious anecdotes and illuminating stories about them, and read from his works on these fascinating individuals.

In between each book – Paolo will start with Robin Friday, then move onto Steve Marriott, before finishing on Oasis – Paolo will also deliver funny and entertaining anecdotes from his ten year career as a writer for both Melody Maker and NME.

These will include adventures with The Specials, Paul Weller, Rickie Lee Jones, and others of a similar calibre.

‘I think this is going to be great fun and put smiles on a lot of people’s faces,’ Paolo states. With a grin.

Our regular Lovely Music Nights return!

This month we continue to bring together excellent local original writing talent to share their new work with you. Four acts for £10!

The Lovely Music Nights entry fee supports the volunteer run venue costs/utilities and the artists that play them.

Line Up: Diego Brown and the Good Fairy, Emilie Lierre, Celia Barrett

We are Diego Brown and the Good Fairy. Some say like the Carpenters on a lost weekend in Twin Peaks.

We tend to think of performance as a two-way thing. We have high expectations of our audience. And they usually come up trumps.

If it doesn’t have a story we think it’s unlikely to make a song. And if it’s not a song, what’s the story?

If you want the facts, try these: guitar, banjo, ukelele, drum, accordion, fiddles, swannee, kazoos, cymbal, shakers, drawings, cake, prizes, fuzzboxes.

Emilie Lierre’s low-toned, soulful, singing voice has a truly commanding presence. Backed up by the alluring chimes of her trustee Ukulele, the charisma that exudes from Emilie’s performances is truly electrifying! 

A nomad by nature, born in Manchester, brought up in Portsmouth, but comfortable anywhere lead Emilie Lierre to Australia where she busked and discovered, led to appearances on ABC and Triple R radio in Melbourne and the the confidence to pursue her musical dream.

Having appeared to much acclaim at our Americana festival we are delighted to have Emilie back for a feature set. 

Celia Barrett

Celia has a unique and attractive voice perfectly suited to the poignant and witty songs she writes. They reflect feelings that many of us experience and affect our emotions. Celia is part of the team that run The Loft monthly music nights of original music near Basingstoke. Her performances are much sought after across the South East and beyond.
