REGULAR BARN DANCE EVENTS WITH GREAT LIVE MUSIC



Look Out For Curtis Eller’s American Circus Coming To the UK March - April 2014.

Look Out For Curtis Eller’s American Circus Coming To the UK March - April 2014.

The craziest, yodelling banjo player this side of New York. It's Vaudeville, it's Folk, it's Comedy, it's Song & Dance, it's the one and only Curtis Eller and his American Circus.

Having spent a decade toiling away in the musical sweatshops of New York City, banjo player and songwriter, Curtis Eller uprooted his family and resettled in North Carolina where he is diligently pursuing his goal of becoming America's leading purveyor of songs about Elvis Presley and Richard Nixon!

The wild-eyed vaudevillian’s banjo-driven, rock & roll songs describe a dreamlike vision of American history where all points in time have collapsed into one. Past recordings have seen a ghastly parade of historical luminaries, from Abraham Lincoln and Buster Keaton to Amelia Earhart and Joe Louis, sharing the spotlight with a host of Civil War generals and corrupt 19th century politicians.

The latest incarnation of the band has spent a year sharpening their skills in the burlesque houses, beer halls and underground theatres of the Carolina Piedmont. After touring the US, Europe and Canada relentlessly, the time has come for Eller and the band to descend into the Carolinian song-mines to begin unearthing material for their next phonographic recording.

This time listeners will be treated to a fresh collection of show tunes, dance fads and gospel music whose lyrics are populated by two-bit prize fighters, Hollywood has-beens, grave-robbers and forgotten pop-stars. There's a fictional campaign song for Herbert Hoover, and at least one song about the filth and corruption of the Chicago meatpacking industry of the 1890's.

Band Line-up (USA & UK):
Curtis Eller: Banjo & Lead vocals
Bradely Blackwell: Upright Bass
Matthew Rheeston: Drums
Louis Landry: Keyboard / Harmony Vocals
Dana Marks / Shea Broussard: Harmony Vocals

Introducing Swing Feeling; A Little Big Band From France!

Introducing Swing Feeling, a Little Big Band

Organised in 1992, Swing Feeling is today considered by the jazz critics as one of the hottest European bands, with the following musicians: Jérome Etcheberry or Gilles Berthenet (trumpet), Dan Vernhettes (trumpet), Jean-Pierre Dumontier (trombone), Hugues Dieuzeide (reeds), Jacques Montebruno (reeds), Philippe Dourneau (reeds), Philippe Milanta (piano), Enzo Mucci (bass), François Laudet (drums)

Their repertoire proposes a promenade into the music of the big bands of the 30s and 40s, such as Fletcher Henderson, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Jelly Roll Morton, Andy Kirk, Chick Webb, Erskine Hawkins, Fats Waller, Bull Moose Jackson, Lester Young, Harry Edison, Claude Hopkins, Oscar Peterson, Sabby Lewis, Todd Rhodes, Cab Calloway… and some original arrangements by the band.

“With Swing Feeling, we are brought back to the Savoy or any great dancing hall that welcomed by the best big jazz bands. Swing Feeling’s rhythm section has been exemplary during the whole concert, Philippe Milanta often reaching his best (especially in his punctuations and solos ‘à la Basie’) on the piano. All the soloists are excellent, with a particular mention for Jérôme Etcheberry, who brought the house down on Saint Louis Boogie, Second Balcony Jump, Yacht Club Swing, Krazy Krapers (with an exciting exchange between the trumpet and the drums that reminded me of the famous Benny Goodman’s Sing, Sing, Sing). The final tune, Bellboy Boogie ,had another exciting dialog, this time between the two trumpeters.” François Abon.

Maurice Cullaz, the late president of the French Académie du Jazz, wrote: “They are only nine, but they swing like fifteen!”
 
“The spirit of Kansas City and Harlem inspires this orchestra. Homogeneity, rhythmic precision and spontaneity unite these musicians of one of the best European bands.” Jazz Notes

Lou Reed Remembered to be on BBC TV This Weekend!

Uncut Magazine reports that Lou Reed Remembered will air at 9pm on BBC Four this Sunday [December 15] and will include
contributions from Reed's former Velvet Underground bandmates Mo Tucker and Doug Yule plus Thurston Moore and Debbie Harry.

Berlin guitarist Steve Hunter, novelist Paul Auster and photographer Mick Rock will also speak about Reed while Trash actress Holly Woodlawn will also appear.

A BBC statement about the documentary reads: "With the help of friends, fellow musicians, critics and those who have been inspired not only by his music but also by his famously contrary approach to almost everything, the documentary looks at how Reed not only helped to shape a generation but also helped to create a truly alternative, independent rock scene, while also providing New York with its most provocative and potent soundtrack."

Larry Garner with the Norman Beaker Band Booking for May June 2014

TOURING EUROPE & The UK  MAY / JUNE 2014
Larry Garner with the  Norman Beaker Band    

Larry is a five-time Blues Music Award nominee, for Most Promising Artist, and for Contemporary Male Blues Artist and he was inducted into the Louisiana Blues Hall of Fame in 2002.   The BBC has honoured Larry as its Bluesman of the Year, and he has been honoured as Blues Songwriter of the Year three times as well as being twice named Bluesman of the Year Award by Real Blues Magazine. "If you haven't discovered the blues brilliance of Larry Garner, then you should jump on this bandwagon. These are blues for today, good to the last note stuff." - Big City   Larry Garner has found a true musical soul mate in British blues veteran Norman Beaker. Garner may have paid his dues in Baton Rouge, Louisiana, while Beaker cut his gigging teeth in northern England with people such as Alexis Korner , Jack Bruce, Jimmy Rogers and BB King.  Put the two of them on stage together, and they are definitely drawing from the same musical roots. Garners powerful vocals and expressive musicianship make him a natural front man his songs are delivered with a sense of irony with lyrics that are both meaningful and amusing, added to this Larry has a wonderfully expressive voice, is a fine guitarist and a great performer.

Larry was born in Baton Rouge, Louisiana where he picked up on the Swamp Blues music popular in that area, inspired by artistes such as Silas Hogan and Clarence Edwards, he has won just about every award including WC Handy and BB King awards Like Larry, Norman’s songs are also full of social comment and modern day situations, this is a coming together of two modern day Troubadours with something new.

SIEBEN (Matt Howden)

SIEBEN (Matt Howden)

Matt lives in Sheffield, in the north of England. He has produced 11 studio albums, his latest 'Each Divine Spark' is due for release in early 2014. He has made string arrangements and remixed for many artists across the world, composed music for film and TV, dance companies and exhibitions. He has made over 1,500 live appearances in 30 countries and is published by Universal.

"Insistent, pulsating, passionate and dramatic, Sieben weaves a spell with violin and voice. Drawing up songs like a shamen from live loops and soaring melodies, he cuts an elemental figure swaying to the beats generated by the impact if nails, skin and stubble on the body of his chosen instrument. His lyrical demonstrations of love, lust, madness and pagan wonder draw an ever growing audience from the North Sea to the steppes. He has performed everywhere from alpine castles to the cellars of Moscow. Increasingly in demand for film scores, his atmospheric music is now coming to the attention of audiences in his native land. Prepare to be awed." (Andy Whitehouse)
