Jazz at the Philharmonic
Saturday 09 Apr 2016 8:00pm at Lincoln Drill Hall
For forty years jazz impresario Norman Granz took this show, which originally took place at the Philharmonic Auditorium in Los Angeles, around the world featuring many of the greatest names in jazz.
Tonight, a stellar 10-piece line-up presents its tribute to ‘Jazz at the Philharmonic’ using some of the most exciting players in the UK, under the direction of the ebullient Pete Long (M.D. of Ronnie Scott’s Big Band and long time sidesman with Jools Holland).
The excitement and frenzy of those original shows will be replicated by the showmen and virtuosos appearing on the Drill Hall stage.
‘Bristling, hard-swinging, surging, big-toned…......what a joy’.
Peter Vacher review

All seats are unreserved and patrons will be seated on a first come, first served basis. If you require a wheelchair space please contact the box office direct to book 01522 873894. Thank you.

Emily Portman - Seed Stitch; New Single, Video & Tour
EMILY PORTMAN - SEED STITCH; NEW SINGLE, VIDEO & TOUR
2 track digital single from Furrow Records. Cat. No.: FURR010. Release date: 13th Nov.
2015. Barcode: 5051565305388 Publisher: Wipe Out Music, Distribution: Cadiz.
"Entrancing and unsettling. A marvellous, original work"
✭✭✭✭ Observer
"Coracle is, without doubt, one of the folk albums of the year."
✭✭✭✭✭ Songlines
"Dark, dark is the considerable beauty of Emily Portman's
work”
✭✭✭✭✭ fROOTS.
"Spooky and surreal”
✭✭✭✭ Guardian
"A bold album"
✭✭✭✭ Telegraph 'Best Folk Albums of 2015’
"Coracle is a triumph...Delicate as a spider’s web, yet tough
as memory, this is a rich and remarkable record.”
✭✭✭✭✭ R2 Magazine
Seed Stitch is the new single from BBC Folk Award-winner Emily Portman, released
alongside a new video by a fellow Liverpool-based animator Laura Sparks, and coinciding
with a live tour from 6th-15th November.
Emily Portman’s latest album Coracle has received a multitude of rave reviews
since its release in June. It was recently named a 'Best Album of 2015' by the Telegraph
and put Emily on the cover of fROOTS magazine. Coracle has received plentiful airplay,
with accolades from the likes of BBC R3’s Late Junction and Jarvis Cocker on 6 Music.
Emily Portman will be joined by special guests to play a BBC live session for Mark Radcliffe’s
Folk Show on 4th November, which will coincide with the Seed Stitch video premier
by Folk Radio UK.
Seed Stitch showcases two stand-out songs from Coracle that subtly spin together
folk motifs with personal reflections on motherhood and bereavement. Emily describes the
title track as ‘a knitting pattern for DNA’; her beguiling voice rings out over a soundscape of
metronomic fiddles, with pulsing wurlitzer, electric guitar, glitch-laden electronics and percussion.
Haunting, yet silver-lined Seed Stitch shows Emily’s finely crafted songwriting at
its most poignant. The single also features ‘Nightjar’, a beautifully atmospheric song featuring
harp, brooding strings and drums, that lyrically captures the last moments of a loved
one’s life. Joining the acclaimed Emily Portman Trio on Seed Stitch are guests Sam
Sweeney on strings (Bellowhead), M G Boulter on guitars (Lucky Strikes) and Classical
percussionist Toby Kearney (BBC Young Musician of the Year 2006). Emily will be touring
live with this expanded line up as Emily Portman and the Coracle Band in 2016.

Emily Portman - Biography
‘Casts a powerful spell’ Uncut
‘A mouth-watering collaboration’ Mojo
[on The Furrow Collective]
‘Eerily magnificent, bizarre and wonderful’ fRoots
Emily Portman is a folk singer, banjo-player and songwriter hailed as ‘one of the new
British folk scene’s most beguiling presences’ (Uncut). Emily is winner the BBC Radio Two
Folk Award for Best Original Song and now she’s back with Coracle, a vivid tour de force
of finely-crafted songs that spin together folk motifs with personal reflections on motherhood
and bereavement. Coracle has already caught the attention of Jarvis Cocker, received
rave reviews and propelled Emily onto the cover of fROOTS. The Emily Portman
Trio are joined by a stellar cast of guests to create a darkly magical album that takes Emily’s
fine-spun lyricism to new heights. Emily performs live with the Emily Portman Trio,
alongside the talented musicians Lucy Farrell (voice,viola and saw) and Rachel Newton
(voice, harp and fiddle) who have become known for their “inventive arrangements using
twinkling harp, brooding strings and chiming vocal parts” (Observer).

Penguin Cafe Tonight
Sunday 6 September 7.30pm at Lincoln Drill Hall
The
Penguin Cafe was founded by Arthur Jeffes in 2009, bringing together a talented
and disparate group of musicians from the likes of Suede, Gorillaz and
Razorlight, initially to perform his father Simon Jeffes’ legacy of world
renowned Penguin Cafe Orchestra music, ten years after his untimely death in
1997.
Arthur,
a talented composer in his own right, quickly began to create new and unique
genre-defying music, with the spellbinding philosophy of the Penguin Cafe
always in his mind. A uniquely exciting opportunity to hear this extraordinary
brand of globally inspired but category-defying music that will bring
Festival800 to a magnificent close. Tickets: £16 from 01522 873894
