Troll folk Indie Folk Rock from Finland UK Tour June 2015

TROLLFOLK - indie, folk-rock with attitude all the way from FINLAND! UK Tour 1 - 9 June 2015 TROLLFOLK DEBUT UK TOUR // 1 - 9 JUNE 2015 Trollfolk® is an indie world folk rock band from Joensuu, Eastern Finland. In 2010, singer Usi Riikonen fulfilled a long awaited dream to sing in her native language, Swedish. She gathered the best musicians and created Trollfolk®. A Finnish band performing Finnish indie-folk-rock with Swedish lyrics is not only a traditional contradiction, but also a musical rebellion. Conflict and musical dynamics made for enough explosive force, and off they went in Spring 2010 to unleash their sound on Finnish audiences. All members but the singer Usi Riikonen have Finnish as their native language. Most of the song’s lyrics are taken from traditional Swedish folk songs, and rearranged in Trollfolk’s own musical style. But Trollfolk® also writes and composes it's own material. Trollfolk’s roots are in North Karelian folkmusic, but rock, pop, jazz and even punk are clearly present. Their sound is fresh due to their first-class musicianship and songwriting, and their kick-ass attitude. Trollfolk® redefines Folk rock one more time. This time, it comes from Eastern Karelia, but different than expected. Trollfolk® takes the heart of Finnish Folk music and puts it into Swedish folk rock. Something truly spectacular. Trollfolk® made their first public appearance in November 2010 with great success. Right away, they went to the studio to record 3 of their songs, released in December 2010. Additional gigs followed, but the public wanted more! Trollfolk® has played many festivals and venues in Finland but will make a short trip to the UK in June 2015 for the first time. Plans for completing their record are currently in progress and their first ever UK Tour from 1st June - 9th June 2015. Line up includes: Katsi Kokkonen, Clarinet, Accordion, Flute  Mammu Koskelo, Kantele, vocals and Guitar  Lade Laakkonen, Bass  Eve Pietarinen, Bouzuki and vocals  Usi Riikonen, Lead vocal  Riku Leiniäinen, Drums For availability, bookings etc please contact: GAIL COOKE  LAUGHING DOG MUSIC  SHEFFIELD, UK  00 44 (0) 7905 952 374  gail@laughingdogmusic.co.

CURTIS ELLER'S AMERICAN CIRCUS - UK FESTIVAL DATES 2015

CURTIS ELLER'S AMERICAN CIRCUS - UK FESTIVAL DATES 2015, mid-June to mid-August TOURING THE UK for the festival season 2015 mid-June to mid-August (t CURTIS ELLER'S AMERICAN CIRCUS - UK FESTIVAL DATES 2015, mid-June to mid-August OLD TIME RELIGION - Curtis Eller's American Circus TOURING THE UK for the festival season 2015 mid-June to mid-August (there may be some flexibility either side). 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.
