Introducing Steve Yarrington-Jazz Guitarist:
Introducing Steve Yarrington-Jazz
Guitarist: Now available for bookings in the UK
Steve’s style centre’s on the “swing”
of the earliest electric guitarists in jazz.
His approach is to strip down the “Big Band” genre, to show how these
guitarists might have sounded “swinging” with just a trio.
Steve currently has three jazz guitar
albums on release - available through iTunes and Amazon - which offer an
eclectic mix of tunes, many of which are his own compositions, but all played
with Steve’s “swinging” style.
Steve and his team have been concentrating on promotion in the USA, where Steve’s music is extensively played on-air and receives very favourable responses from listeners, both in the USA and around the world.
Album review: “In ‘Sketches’, Steve
interprets familiar tunes…in a new light, giving them new accents. Steve Yarrington: the name is definitely in
my future ‘Jazz Bag’ – I like!”
“Swing Jazz at its best: Steve Yarrington –
Sketches” (Marcus Muller – eezyvibes 23.01.13)
Steve is now available for bookings,
either as a solo performer (using resident drummer and double bass player); or
with his own trio. He is also available for guitar workshops at festivals, as
required.
Also Steve’s music is now available for
review.

Hop Farm Festival Set To Return in 2014
Uncut Magazine and others have reported that the Hop Farm Festival is set to return next summer,
despite being called off this year because of poor ticket sales and going into
administration following the 2012 event.
Kent Online
reports that the festival will be run by a new promoter, thought to be Flashback Festival's Neil Butkeratis.
The festival's head of marketing, Miguel Fenton, stated: "The event is
going ahead, which is great news. There will be a fresh approach under a new
promoter." A spokesperson for UK Events added: "It will be more of a
boutique festival with a new promoter and line-up." It will staged over
the weekend of 4-6 July 2014 and cater for 20,000 puntersLincolnshire Sings!
Lincolnshire Sings!
Putting
community singing on the map in Lincolnshire
Community choirs and choral
groups across Lincolnshire are invited to contribute to a mapping project which
will enable opportunities for people to sing for fun to be identified and
signposted.
Choral ensembles,
glee and folk clubs, social singers, barbershop choruses and amateur operatic
groups in addition to church, gospel and community choirs are all invited to
join the ‘Lincolnshire Sings!’ register, which is being managed by soundLINCS
on behalf of Lincolnshire Music Service. Participating organisations are simply
asked to complete a short questionnaire: the mapping and dissemination of the information
provided is then monitored by the soundLINCS team in accordance with the
guidelines of the Data Protection Act.
‘We’re looking
forward to hearing from hundreds of choirs from all over Lincolnshire!’ says
soundLINCS CEO Nikki-Kate Heyes. ‘Their feedback will enable us to build a
resource which will not only show how much singing goes on in our communities,
but which may ultimately influence funding decisions, encourage new singers and
help identify performance opportunities. It could even lead to choirs sharing
their enthusiasm with others, whether by working with local schools or with
other music-making groups.’
The initiative is an
extension of the ‘Lincoln Sings’ project (see group Facebook page) which has
already established that there are more open choirs than supermarkets in
Lincoln city alone.
For more details on ‘Lincolnshire Sings!’ and a copy of the questionnaire, please e-mail jill@soundlincs.org

Neil Young Live At The Cellar Door Released Dec 10
Neil Young
will release Live At The Cellar Door, the latest in his Archives Performance
Series, on December 10th on Reprise Records.
The album collects recordings made during Young's intimate six-show solo stand at The Cellar Door in Washington D.C. between November 30th and December 2nd, 1970, a few months after Reprise released his classic third solo album After The Gold Rush in August. Of the many unique gems found on Live At The Cellar Door, a rare solo version of "Cinnamon Girl" performed on piano rather than guitar is a particular treasure for Neil fans (the full band version appears on Young's 1969 second solo album Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere).
The album, which features Young performing on acoustic guitar and piano, includes tracks that are interesting for several reasons, such as stunning live versions of songs that appeared on After The Gold Rush ("Tell Me Why," "Only Love Can Break Your Heart," "Birds," "Don't Let It Bring You Down" and the title track) and solo performances of the Buffalo Springfield songs "Expecting To Fly" (from their 1967 second album Buffalo Springfield Again), "I Am A Child" (from their third and final album Last Time Around and Young's 1977 Decade compilation), and "Flying On The Ground Is Wrong," from their 1966 self-titled debut.
In addition, Live At The Cellar Door features early, raw performances of songs that wouldn't appear until subsequent Young albums, including the rarity "Bad Fog Of Loneliness" (which appears on Live At Massey Hall '71 - released in 2007-- but was previously unreleased until the studio band version was included on Archives Vol. 1 1963-1972) and "Old Man" (released two years later on 1972's Harvest album). "Down By The River," also from Everybody Knows This Is Nowhere, rounds out the spectacular set.
Live At The Cellar Door was recorded by Henry Lewy and produced by Young.
As with Young's previous releases in the Archives series, Live At The Cellar Door will be released digitally, on CD, and on 180-gram vinyl (mastered by Chris Bellman at Bernie Grundman Mastering and pressed at Pallas in Germany).

Rita Payne; Check Them Out!
After
only being together a year, Rhiannon Scutt and Pete Sowerby of the folk, blues
and roots duo Rita Payne have achieved a great deal including a debut album,
television appearances, numerous National and International Radio air time and
are the ‘go to’ opening act for many International Folk and Blues Artists across
the UK.
.jpg)
Rhiannon
and Pete have known each other since their first day of secondary school back in
2000, but decided to write music together only a year ago when Rhiannon
accidentally called Pete while he was holidaying in Spain. From there, the
Doncaster duo decided to meet up and try being a covers outfit to earn a bit of
cash in pubs. However, after one rehearsal, they began writing songs. After
compiling a playlist of around 20 self penned tunes, and mixing their names up
to create a new one - Rita
Payne set out to conquer the Doncaster pub scene.
After totting up well over 100 gigs in the first six months, Rita Payne began to attract the attention of reputable music venues due to their intriguing blend of folky harmonies, bluesy riffs and the fact they use a suitcase as a bass drum! They suddenly found themselves transported from playing to a handful of people in a pub, to hundreds in venues such as The Leadmill in Sheffield, The Dome in Doncaster and Tramlines Festival in Sheffield.

Subsequently
after a chance meeting with renowned producer Keith Angel at a local gig, Rita
Payne began to record their debut album - “Stories From a
Suitcase.”
"Stories from a Suitcase is an
assured set of songs, delivered with panache. It's hard to credit this is a
début recording, the song writing is that good" - R2 Magazine 2013
“_A
truly unusual sound, great harmonies and phenomenal guitar work”- Andy Kershaw, BBC
"...their delicate harmonies
work beautifully; The subtle musical backdrop working in perfect tandem with the
breathtaking vocal interplay and well-written lyrics. I predict a great future
for this Rita Payne" - Alan Cackett, Maverick

sunshine to my life" - David Burns, BBC Introducing

Topic Records - New Linda Thompson Album
Won't Be Long Now
Topic Records is
very proud to announce that the long-awaited new album from Linda Thompson will
be released next week.
Won’t Be Long Now – Linda's first album in six years - was recorded in the UK and America with a rich array of contributing musicians. While it’s undoubtedly a family affair, featuring a duet with former husband Richard Thompson, regular contributions from their children Teddy and Kami, and grandson Zak Hobbs, Won’t Be Long Now also reflects Linda’s folk beginnings. This new album includes appearances by many alumni of the British folk scene, including John Kirkpatrick, Dave Swarbrick, Martin and Eliza Carthy, as well as American musicians such as David Mansfield, Amy Helm, Sam Amidon, Jenni Muldaur and Tony Trischka, among others.
“It’s apparent how undimmed
Thompson’s talent is, especially in the sheer confident power of her vocal
performance. Long may she continue.” Record Collector
