Eddi Reader @ Lincoln Drill Hall 30 Apr 2014 8pm

Eddi Reader Wednesday 30 Apr 2014 8pm @ Lincoln Drill Hall  

Eddi Reader was brought into the limelight with Fairground Attraction and their single ‘Perfect’ and parent album First of a Million Kisses which both topped the British charts. However, it has been her subsequent solo albums which signalled her increasing ability to assimilate different musical styles and make them all very much her own. From the traditional to the contemporary, Eddi brings to joyous life all forms of song and what sets Reader apart is the depth and quality of the emotional performance; her ability not only to move the listener but to connect her experience to that of her audience. Her rare blend of meltingly true vocals and towering romanticism combine with an astute and pragmatic nature to make her a unique and powerful figure in contemporary British music. She has effortlessly developed into one of popular music’s most thrilling and affecting performers.

Tickets: £22.50 in advance (£24.50 on the day) from 01522 873894

Topic Records Ready For Record Store Day 2014

To celebrate Record Store Day on Saturday 19th Topic have two limited edition vinyl releases. A 50th anniversary facsimile edition of ANNE BRIGGS's seminal debut EP - The Hazards of Love and a brand new 7" single from MARTIN & ELIZA CARTHY.

The Hazards of Love is a jewel in Topic’s extensive catalogue, the influence of this record on myriad singers, songwriters and performers is incalculable; on a visit to London, June Tabor was bought a copy by her older sister: “She took me to Dobell’s and said she’d buy me a record. I got that Anne Briggs EP, Hazards of Love… I was captivated by this woman’s voice and what she did with it…”

Anne's EP became the calling card for one of the most influential figures in the English folk revival, with Bert Jansch, Jimmy Page, The Watersons and Sandy Denny all acknowledging that influence, and it continues years after its original release, with The Decemberists 2009 album title directly taken from the EP which inspired it.

Dad and daughter - Martin and Eliza Carthy - release The Moral of the Elephant their first duo album together on 2nd June. We have a limited edition picture sleeve single coupling two songs from the album.

Happiness is a graceful, timeless song written and originally recorded by Molly Drake, Nick Drake’s mother, and this is the very first time the song has been officially released by a major recording artist; Eliza Carthy has breathed new life into a beautiful song which deserves classic status.

Martin Carthy first recorded The Queen of Hearts for his very first album nearly 50 years ago, in 1965, the benchmark for folk singer-guitar players everywhere, and he revisits that song here with his daughter for a stately rendition that more than equals the quality of that first recording.

A full list of participating record shops can be found here: www.recordstoreday.co.uk

Throughout 2014 Topic will be making monthly special offers from their website.
