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

       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.

 Hawkwind have announced a handful of UK dates to celebrate the release of their new LP 'Somnia'.

Get tickets bit.ly/Hawkwind-Somnia

Hawkwind formed in 1969 by Dave Brock who still remains at the helm today. In 1970 the band played at the first ever Glastonbury Festivals, released their eponymously titled debut album and created their own new music genre called “Space Rock”.

The 1972 'Space Ritual' Tour featured contributions from sci-fi author Michael Moorcock, poet Bob Calvert, designer Barney Bubbles and lighting engineer Liquid Len creating a truly multimedia experience. This has set the bar for every Hawkwind show since.

Original member Lemmy left to form Official Motörhead in 1975, and Hawkwind have since gone on to become a massively influential group and have released more than 50 albums.

The Little Unsaid - New Album Tour // May & November 2021

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

Klezmer-ish - 'Dusty Road' New Album Tour ***Booking Now for 2020

KLEZMER-ish - 'Dusty Road' New Album Tour \*\*\*Booking Now for 2020 Festivals plus dates May/June/July 2020\*\*\* From rip-roaring klezmer and dynam

KLEZMER-ish - 'Dusty Road' New Album Tour ***Booking Now for 2020 Festivals plus dates May/June/July 2020*** New album out on World Music Network Record Label From rip-roaring klezmer and dynamic tango, to their self-penned gypsy- jazz, Klezmer-ish bring a trademark twist to whatever genre takes their fancy. Drawing inspiration from the music of bygone travellers. Four incredibly outward-looking classically trained musicians who met whilst playing with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra. Their fittingly titled new album ‘Dusty Road’ sees the band freeing themselves from the "shackles" of the rigid hierarchy of the orchestra as they explore the music of immigrants from various cultural backgrounds who left their homelands in pursuit of a better life. As their name implies, Klezmer-ish cannot simply be pigeonholed as a straight-ahead Klezmer act, but rather a band with an incredibly diverse and forever expanding repertoire, built up over the three years that they've been performing. Bound together in the true spirit of intercultural exchange, their music is always on the move, like the travelling peoples that it reflects. As Connie, the bands accordionist and violinist, points out, "These peoples took their musical traditions with them and as much as they influenced the music scene wherever they settled, so was their music influenced by the cultures they encountered in their new-found homes. Klezmer music of Jewish immigrants, tangos by Piazzolla (who grew up in Argentina as a son of Italian immigrants) or the gypsy jazz of Stéphane Grappelli & Django Reinhardt (the fantastic collaboration of a classically trained French/Italian violinist with a self-taught gypsy guitarist) are all examples of amazing musical fusions." CLICK HERE FOR VIDEO Klezmer-ish (new album out on World Music Network in 2020) Like their music, the band's approach is incredibly flexible and democratic, as guitarist and vocalist Rob acknowledges, "We all play equal parts in the quartet. No one is purely accompaniment or the main voice, but we constantly swap roles. Even Marcel on the bass very often takes the leading part and plays the melody rather than just sticking to the bass line as you would expect. This certainly introduces an unusual sound world." It's an approach very much in evidence on the classic album opener 'Klezmer's Freilach' where the band bring in and out of focus each instrumental element to the music. This gives the music a fluidity and constantly changing dynamism unto its own, as the album takes you on a wide-ranging journey of musical styles from Klezmer, tango, gypsy- jazz and beyond. What makes Klezmer-ish so special is their passion for exploring exciting new areas whilst retaining the grounded excellence of their rigorous training as classical musicians. The band however play with a palpable sense of freedom and are not aiming for perfect renditions of the originals or trying to play in an 'authentic' style, but rather to tailor these pieces to their own personal taste and give them their own unique twist. Whether it be the re- interpreting of tango pieces 'Volver' and 'Kicho' by the genres most famous sons Carlos Gardel and Astor Piazzolla, or letting loose on multi- instrumentalist Rob's two self-penned gypsy- jazz inspired compositions 'September Sun' and 'Dusty Road', their approach is always true and respectful to the genre whilst at the same time offering a distinctly fresh approach. From the deeply moving Hebrew song by Shem Tov Levi 'Amud Ha'Esh', which was used for the documentary television series of the Israel Broadcasting Authority "Pillar Of Fire" in 1981, to the greatly contrasting Romanian tunes 'Pendelasul Fetelor' and 'Doina And Street Melody', this collection of a dozen pieces demonstrates the bands outward looking approach and desire to challenge themselves outside of the hierarchical structure and strict rules of the symphony orchestra. In the words of the band "There is no such thing with Klezmer- ish. No boss! All equals. No rules or regulations. It is all led by the music, and by the mutual respect we have for each other's talent."
