The Clinical Depression Concept Album Show @ Lincoln Drill Hall
Good Friday:
The Clinical Depression Concept Album Show™
Lincoln Drill Hall, Free School Lane, Lincoln LN2
In 2009, David Parkin suffered from clinical depression. As he recovered he taught himself how to play the piano and found himself writing an album about his breakdown. Taking to the stage with two talented multi-instrumentalists and direction from New Art Club’s Pete Shenton, David chats between songs and tells us of the breakdown and of the love affair between man and piano that blossomed as he wrote the album. Expect beautiful music, scary music, funny music, a bass, a knife, a glockenspiel, the stars at night, two cellos, extremely dry humour and a large black dog. Falling somewhere between a play with music and a live music gig this event should not be missed!

Saturday 2 March 8pm New Jazz 5 presents Marlene Ver Planck
Marlene VerPlanck returns to the Drill Hall for an unmissable evening of jazz standards. She has almost everything one could ask for in a singer of classic American songs: a gorgeous sound, a solid understanding of words and story and a sure and steady feel for rhythm. In her early career she worked as a backing singer for Frank Sinatra, Perry Como, and Tony Bennett, emerging as a leading solo performer in the 1970s, playing Carnegie Hall to rave reviews. ‘She may be the most accomplished interpreter of popular material performing today...interpretive sensitivity and perceptive choice of songs that can be matched only by a handful of singers.’ New York Times.

dance to a vocal line-up that features over 30 songs.Tickets: £22 (£18)
Saturday 9 March 8pm
Gabby Young & Other Animals
The 7-piece Gabby
Young and Other Animals was formed in 2008 and the band’s sound & look is
as original as it is amazing. Young’s style combines Balkan brass, jazz and
swing in a sound that has been affectionately dubbed Circus Swing. As famous
for her extravagant costumes as for her soulful voice, her flamboyant show has
been likened to Florence + the Machine and Paloma Faith, while her classically
trained voice has been likened to that of Kate Bush, Tori Amos and Imogen Heap.
This tour is to promote her second album, which is filled with often
unexpectedly thoughtful, sophisticated songs that continually switch direction,
from cool guitar, accordion or piano-backed balladry to furious trumpet and
trombone-backed workouts.‘We are playing this a lot because we love it. She is terrific live, a really big wall of sound”. Graham Norton BBC Radio 2 Support TBC Tickets: £10 adv (£12 on the day)
Saturday 16 March 8pm
St Patrick’s Night with The Hooleys
& friends
The definition of
a Hooley is ‘to meet secretly at the
homes of friends and family to drink, sing and play music.’ Preferring to
bring the party into more public places, local musical legends The Hooleys return
to the Drill Hall for another night of raw Celtic and European musical passion!
Join us for the best way to celebrate Patrick’s Night…. but don't forget to
bring your dancing shoes! Tickets: £8 in advance (£10 on the day)

Friday
22 March 8pm Whole Lotta Led
After 12 years with the same line up (and having
just beaten the length of time Led Zeppelin were together), Whole Lotta Led
have undergone a change in line-up. Joining the band on drums is Charlie Hart,
a gifted musician who has long admired John Bonham's drum style and new
vocalist, Lee Pryor, who effortlessly reproduces Robert Plants amazing vocals
& David Wykeham-George who, as well as playing keyboards, will also be
contributing guitar and backing vocals. Don't worry though, founder members
Nick Ferris (guitar) and Geoff Hunt (bass) are still there, continuing the
legacy and ensuring the standard of performance is as high as it can be. If you
haven't seen the band before you'll be well impressed and if you have seen the
old band, come and witness the amazing changes. Whole Lotta Led just gotta Whole Lot Better. Tickets: £12.50 adv (£14.50 on the day)
