Contact gail@laughingdogmusic.co.uk for availability and bookings. 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. Touring mid-June to mid-August for UK festival dates. 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. 'Sugar in my coffin' - CURTIS ELLER 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.

With their debut album release by the World Music Network / Riverboat Records label a this year and a 5 star review in Songlines Magazine, ‘Calaita Flamenco Son’ are embarking on a UK tour in November. Half of the members are based in the UK and the other in Spain, they are a tight group with energy and spirit. Brought together by Seville born singer Chico Pere, UK based guitarist Glenn Sharp and percussionist Leo Paredes, ‘Calaita Flamenco Son’ offer authentic flamenco perfect for music venues, arts centres, concert theatres and intimate spaces. Their live concerts include both traditional flamenco palos as well as more contemporary flamenco rumbas written by the group. From passionate and sorrowful seguiriyas to vibrant bulerias and rumbas. ‘Calaita Flamenco Son’ are Chico Pere – voice and guitar, Glenn Sharp – guitar, Leo Paredes – Percussion, Diana Castro – voice and Matt Nickson – flute and saxophone.

About the debut album, released by World Music Network / Riverboat Records Early 2014:

The whole album was recorded in 3 days at Wavelength Studios in the UK. The album was then produced and mixed by Glenn Sharp and mastered at POB Audio. The album includes all the very best from ‘Calaita Flamenco Son’ with traditional flamenco palos such as ‘alegrias’, ‘bulerias’ and ‘seguiriyas’, and the more popular sounds of flamenco rumba, including the amazing song ‘un mensajito’ by Chico Pere, always a popular encore at their live shows. The album has a little something for everyone. The aim of this album was to capture the energy and spontaneity of their live shows and this is achieved perfectly.

Presenting The Wonderful Sound of the Cinema Organ.

 Laughing Dog Music Presents...

The Wonderful Sound of the Cinema Organ are a Leeds based 9 piece ensemble comprising Drums, Bass, Guitar, Piano, Cello, Violin, Saxophone, Trumpet and Vocals. Working with both music and film visuals the band layer up richly textured harmonies and hypnotic rhythms, all set to archive footage, collected and edited to reflect each piece. Over the past 18 months the band have had airplay on BBC Radio 6 Music and have enjoyed playing at festivals such as Musicport, Shambala, Beatherder and Beacons, several venues in Leeds, London, Nottingham and Bristol and a really special show at Islington's esteemed Union Chapel not to mention the Natural History Museum! "The texture of The Wonderful Sound Of The Cinema Organ is both fresh and alive and for sixty minutes a magical spell is woven across this intimate room. With the fluidity of their arrangements drawing upon the more traditional aspects of manouche jazz, Afro-American gospel and southern soul, they also manage to harness these influences to the beat of an altogether more different, more modern drum" - (god is in the tv).

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.

 

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 Magazine

"Rita Payne have brought some sunshine to my life" - David Burns, BBC Introducing Humberside
