The Little Unsaid - Full Band Tour October 2022 + Festivals

The Little Unsaid - Full Band Tour October 2022 + Festivals

The Little Unsaid is a musical vehicle for the diverse music of songwriter and band leader John Elliott. Born out of the English indie-roots scene of the 00’s, The Little Unsaid have built up a solid committed following, received glowing reviews and gained the attention of national media since signing with UK independent Reveal Records (home to award winning international artists such as Joan as Police Woman, Lau, Kris Drever and Eddi Reader).

In 2021 The Little Unsaid released two albums: the full band & experimental “Lick The Future’s Lips” followed by a contrasting, intimate solo winter music reflection “December Songs”.

Both albums were played on radio and reviewed with acclaim, and awarded Album of The Month by Folk Radio UK (the number one roots media platform in the UK). The band has frequently collaborated with renowned producer Graeme Stewart (who alongside engineering for Radiohead has produced Oscar-nominated film scores by Jonny Greenwood) and have received several awards for their work including: the Steve Reid InNOVAtion Award (PRS Foundation & Gilles Peterson, with mentoring from FourTet) and Help Musicians Emerging Excellence Award.

The band have played a variety of major Festivals (including Glastonbury) and their recent UK tour was described as “a soaring piece of sonic beauty…one hell of a show” (MusoMuso). During the Covid lockdowns, John created the Relay album project, collaborating on two covers albums with artists including Billy Bragg and Frank Turner to raise money for the Music Venue Trust.

The Clifftown Story - M G BOULTER - Touring Autumn 2022

 Laughing Dog Music Present The Clifftown Story - M G BOULTER - Touring Autumn 2022

Clifftown is a celebration of the history and culture of the English seaside. In this show songwriter and musician M G Boulter plays music from his 2021 album ‘Clifftown’ (on Hudson Records), which charts his personal history of growing up in the seaside suburbia of Southend-on-Sea in Essex. Here you will find the neon lights and burnt sugar smells of a Saturday night seafront but also the solitary Essex noir of the salt marshland. With stories collected from his time creating the companion podcast series ‘The Clifftown Podcast’ and accompanied by a full band M G will bring his unique take on the English seaside to the stage.

Serving his apprenticeship in numerous bands in the hotbed of the Southend-on-Sea pub rock scene (the precursors of which were household names such as Dr Feelgood and Eddie and the Hotrods), M G has been quietly working at creating rich and evocative story songs since 2013. M G creates vignettes of suburban lives and seaside communities and is a contemporary voice in the long tradition of the singer-songwriter. Often referred to as the artist’s artist M G has been a much sought after collaborator in the folk and Americana scenes, having significant tenures in the Simone Felice Group, The Duke and the King, Emily Portman’s Coracle Band, Blue Rose Code and The Owl Service.

Having previously released two albums and numerous EPs, Clifftown is M G’s most complete work to date creating an immersive world rich with ordinary lives glimpsed through fairground grease and mindless 9 to 5 jobs. As much social commentary as an honest picture postcard of his hometown, Clifftown is an exquisite and life-affirming exploration of modern suburbia and the British seaside by one of the UK’s finest

       ADAM HOLMES - New Album, Solo Tour Oct & Nov 2021

 

27 year-old Edinburgh born singer-songwriter Adam Holmes is one of the brightest rising stars on the UK roots music scene, with influences from either side of the Atlantic mixing traditional and contemporary folk with his own brand of soul and Americana. Twice nominated for BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards, his first two albums were also nominated for Scottish Album of the Year in 2014 & 2017, and there is much anticipation as to whether he can make it three in a row this year with his third album ‘Midnight Milk’. His first album, ‘Heirs & Graces’, was produced by John Wood (producer of all Nick Drake’s albums and John Martyn’s iconic ‘Solid Air’ album) and mastered by Simon Heyworth (co-producer of Mike Oldfield’s ‘Tubular Bells’) and second album, ‘Brighter Still’, features two-time BRIT award winner Eddi Reader on backing vocals throughout. His latest album was recorded in his one bedroomed flat in Edinburgh, complete with full brass section, an eighteen piece choir and a widescreen folk/soul/electronica production, influenced by a 2016 collaboration with Adrian Utley of Portishead, Dominic Aitchison of Mogwai and Martin Green of Lau. A rare solo tour, stripped back and showcasing the songs, giving them the space they deserve.

ADAM ROSS aka RANDOLPH'S LEAP 'Staring at Mountains' SOLO TOUR NOVEMBER 2021

 

ADAM ROSS aka RANDOLPH'S LEAP 'Staring at Mountains' SOLO TOUR NOVEMBER 2021     Staring at Mountains is the debut solo album from Scottish singer-songwriter Adam Ross; a sparse and intimate collection of songs which blend tenderness, wry humour and poetry, scheduled for release in Autumn 2021. We are currently booking tour dates for November 2021. Staring at Mountains presents Adam’s distinctive songwriting at its most delicate, stripped-back and sincere. The majority of the album was recorded in the historic setting of Delgatie Castle in Aberdeenshire and takes a great deal of lyrical inspiration from the Scottish landscape, with song titles transporting the listener on a journey from the Cairngorm mountains to Sanna beach on the west coast. Adam’s folk music influences shine through on this album which features stunning violin accompaniment from Pedro Cameron (Man of the Minch) and vocal harmonies from Jenny Sturgeon. Human relationships are also at the heart of the album, with Adam taking inspiration from observational songwriters such as John Prine and Loudon Wainright III.   CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO   Adam Ross   Adam: “I wanted to present the songs as simply and honestly as possible. No overcomplicated production or digital trickery. Just the songs, sounding the way they sounded when I sat and wrote them beside a warm, glowing fire.” Since 2010, Adam has been making music as the lead singer in Randolph’s Leap, an indie-folk collective of up to eight musicians known for their joyful live gigs and prolific output. In 2018, the Randolph’s Leap back-catalogue inspired a touring theatre show called 'The Isle of Love' which depicted life on a Hebridean island as told through Adam’s lyrics. In 2020 Adam diversified his songwriting output, releasing a collaborative EP with Gareth Perrie under the name The Polychromes as well as a country-pop album under the pseudonym A.R. Pinewood. Press “Full of melodic inventiveness, freshness and positivity” - Folk Radio “Charm and character to spare” - The Scotsman “Funny, poignant acoustic arias” - The List “Ross is a songwriter who is both honest and charming, combining the strut and humour of Neil Hannon, the sincerity, vulnerability and softness of Stuart Murdoch and the lyrical wit and musical playfulness of the DIYDaddy, King Creosote himself” - The Quietus   Adam Ross   CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO     PLEASE GET IN TOUCH FOR TOUR BOOKINGS IN NOVEMBER 2021 Dates may be available outside of the official touring periods so please enquire email: gail@laughingdogmusic.co.uk Click here to go to LAUGHING DOG MUSIC Click here to go to RANDOLPH'S LEAP

Little Unsaid - New Album Tour // May & November 20211

Bold and different - The Guardian 9/10 - 'A stunning interpretation of contemporary chaos...a gorgeous whiplash of delirium and hazy reveries' - The Line of Best Fit ★★★★★ 'Mesmeric. Atmospheric. Totally beguiling' - R'n'R (R2 Magazine) 'Entrancing... songwriting of a real rich quality, all held together by an intensity of approach, by a focus on the emotional weight music can carry'- Clash Magazine

 

CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO   London/Aarhus-based band The Little Unsaid - BBC6 Music regulars and winners of the Steve Reid Foundation Award for Boundary-Pushing New Music – return with an album of raw, restless and celebratory music all brought together while in the limbo of lockdown life, plus an energised live show (hopefully) offering an injection of hope for 2021. Acclaim for their previous album Atomise saw their sound likened to artists as diverse as Nick Cave (Line of Best Fit), Radiohead, Joni Mitchell and Roy Harper (The Guardian). The (as yet untitled) new album scheduled for release in May 2021 on Reveal Records (Joan As Police Woman, Lau, Boo Hewerdine, Eddi Reader) is being recorded remotely between the four band members – and marries John Elliott's crafted, melodic songwriting with far less conventional elements, through necessity of isolation – from the found sounds of a forest mixed into pounding, beats-heavy electronica to an exultant, life-affirming call-to-arms composed and recorded in John Elliott's tiny South London flat during the claustrophobia of lockdown. All bound by Elliott's sometimes intimate, often soaring vocals and visceral, deeply personal lyrics together with string arrangements that recall Warren Ellis's most heart-rending themes. The Little Unsaid's loyal live audience has been boosted by repeated plays on BBC6 Music by the likes of Guy Garvey, Iggy Pop and Tom Robinson; known for shows which involve a rich emotional journey – in 2021 the band will focus on full-on performances and cathartic release, spotlighting straight-to-the-heart songwriting and the sampled elements of the album's making.And driven by excitem ent to get back on the road and share live music again.   The Little Unsaid   CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO     PLEASE GET IN TOUCH FOR TOUR BOOKINGS 21 - 31 MAY & 29 OCT - 7 NOV 2021 Dates may be available outside of the official touring periods so please enquire email: gail@laughingdogmusic.co.uk Click here to go to LAUGHING DOG MUSIC Click here to go to THE LITTLE UNSAID
