NIC JONES DVD released by Topic

NIC JONES DVD released by Topic

Following a truly magical string of Nic and Joe Jones live concerts last month, Nic Jones fans can now enjoy a new Topic DVD containing the superb documentary shown last year on BBC Four.
 

The Enigma of Nic Jones DVD has the added bonus of seven complete performances of songs exclusive to this release:
The Nic Jones Trio perform three songs in rehearsal, 'Master Kilby', 'Rue The Day' and 'I Only Spoke Portuguese'; Eliza Carthy plays a stunning version of '10,000 Miles'; Blair Dunlop's interpretation of 'Canadee-I-O' clearly shows how Nic's guitar-playing influences younger performers, and Nic's former Bandoggs bandmate Pete Coe plays one of Nic's live staples, 'On a Monday Morning' and a Bandoggs favourite, 'Astley's Ride/Up and Away'.

'...the photography's gorgeous, the talking-head interviews are heartfelt and enlightening, and the comeback footage... is tentative but often deeply moving.' Time Out

Tom Adams: Still Score @ Lincoln Drill hall Tuesday 21 October

Tom Adams: Still Score taking place in The Room Upstairs @ Lincoln Drill hall

Tuesday 21 Oct 2014 7.30 pm

In February 2013, Songwriter and theatre maker Tom Adams bought a slide projector and 500 slides from eBay. The slides were of people he did not know but he could not help asking, what is their story? 

Tom performs a live soundtrack of music, comedy and stories to these images in a gentle exploration of mortality. He also searches through images of his own life, placing them side by side with the strangers, wondering if his memories will, one day, be just a slide sold on eBay.

“Funny, touching & ultimately life affirming. You leave with a tear in your eye, but a skip in your step”

Tickets: Tickets: Free but audience members will be asked to pay what they felt it was worth as they leave

Since their sold out concert in February Pete and Rhiannon have been very busy.  Their THL concert was quickly followed by another sell out concert at The Greystones, Sheffield.  They have played numerous festivals and supported top acts at large venues across the country. In March they went into the Studio to record their second album 'We're Getting There Aren't We'.   The CD was produced by Alan Smyth, who has previously recorded the Artic Monkeys.  The album was crowd funded and launched at The Memorial Hall, Sheffield in July.  It is a gem. On October 24th they will again bring their band, comprising of Tom Howe (guitar), Pete Howe (violin) and Robin Baker (double bass).  They will play songs from the new album and old favourites from 'Stories From A Suitcase'. At the February headliner Rita Payne took things to another level, watch them go up another notch this time. Supporting will be Luke Jackson, a 19 year old songwriter from Canterbury.  Although his roots are in folk music, Luke's guitar technique and dynamic voice suggest an emerging rock star.

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.
