The Latest News From Fledg'ling Records November 2016

"our nearest star" Shirley Collins has been one of our dearest friends and loyal supporters ever since Fledg'ling Records began in 1994. We are thrilled beyond words that she has returned to recording after 38 years. Lodestar is released today, Friday 4th November, on the Domino label. It is an absolutely wonderful album - austere, full of foreboding and stunningly beautiful. Undoubtedly one of the finest recordings of the year. “… picking her way back across almost a century, finding for herself the traditional heart of each song… What comes through is sincerity, purity of instinct, and a tremendous depth of feeling.” Alan Lomax Fledg'ling has helped to keep much of Shirley's back catalogue in print over the past twenty years. During November we are celebrating the release of Lodestar with some special offers. The perfect opportunity to fill the gaps in your music collection, or to give as splendid gifts for friends:  During November these early Shirley albums are priced at only £6.00 each:         FLED 3029  SHIRLEY COLLINS ~ False True Lovers FLED 3080  SHIRLEY COLLINS ~ Sweet England FLED 3028  SHIRLEY COLLINS ~ The Power Of The True Love Knot FLED 3023  SHIRLEY COLLINS ~ Adieu To Old England FLED 3019  SHIRLEY & DOLLY COLLINS ~ For as Many As Will FLED 3057  SHIRLEY & DOLLY COLLINS ~ Snapshots We have a very limited stock of the souvenir programme from Shirley's 80th Birthday event at the Southbank in July 2015.

KLEZMER-ISH...music of travellers

KLEZMER-ISH...MUSIC OF TRAVELLERS I am delighted to welcome this new quartet to Laughing Dog Music as it represents something for me that is the reas KLEZMER-ISH...music of travellers KLEZMER-ish I am delighted to welcome this new quartet to Laughing Dog Music as it represents something for me that is the reason I fell in love with music, different cultures, stories and traditions coming together. Klezmer-ish is what happens when four classically trained musicians let their hair down, explore a wide range of music from travelling people across the world and fuse it all together into their own unique sound. Join them on a musical journey through klezmer, tangos, gypsy jazz, Irish fiddle music…and Italian folk music. CLICK HERE TO VIEW VIDEO KLEZMER-ish Tom Verity (Clarinets & Whistles): Tom plays clarinet with the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra and is a member of the Sterling Trio. In his free time he loves playing jazz piano. “The fusion of our rigorous background as classical musicians with our passion for exploring exciting new musical territories is what makes us special.” Rob Shepley (Guitar, Violin, Vocals): Rob is the sub-principal viola of the RLPO … but late at night he gets out his fiddle and guitar and plays anything from gypsy jazz to oldschool rock. “We are fascinated by exploring the music and stories of immigrants from all sorts of musical and cultural backgrounds who left their homelands to travel the world in pursuit of a better life. Concettina Del Vecchio (Piano Accordion, Violin) Connie is a sub-principal violinist of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic orchestra, but she started her musical career on the piano accordion aged 3. “As classical musicians we work in a hierarchical structure… no such thing with Klezmerish. All equals. No rules or regulations. All led by the music, and by the mutual respect we have for each others’ talent.” Marcel Becker (Double Bass): Marcel is the leader of the double bass section of the Royal Liverpool Philharmonic orchestra – and a massive salsa fan! “We get inspired by the original tunes but tailor them to our own personal taste, giving them our own twist. All the music is arranged by us and for us.” KLEZMER-ish AVAILABILITY FOR FESTIVALS 2017 AND GENERAL ENQUIRIES PLEASE CONTACT: gail@laughingdogmusic.co.uk Click here to go to LAUGHING DOG MUSIC Click here to go to KLEZMER-ish ©2016 Laughing Dog Music | Laughing Dog Music I gail@laughingdogmusic.co.uk

King King 'Live' Out Now! The 'Live' album is out today and steaming up the charts - with only the Rolling Stones keeping us off the Amazon Blues Charts! We are also at No.3 in the iTunes Blues Charts. Thanks so much for all your support, and if you haven't grabbed a copy, you can get it direct at Manhaton, or a signed one from our website!   A message from Alan Nimmo - I thought it was only right to give you a bit of an update as I'm sure some of you are maybe worrying whether or not you're going to get to see us in the UK in November! I'm back home for now and seeing my throat specialist this week to just make sure there are no infections and to assess the state of my vocal chords. I'll also be working with a top vocal coach to train my voice and find ways to maintain good technique and strength. I, along with Lindsay, Bob and Wayne are determined to go ahead with the U.K. tour and I'll be doing everything possible to make sure that happens. We really love how supportive you've been all along and the last thing we want to do is to let you down or keep you in the dark so, as far as we're concerned at this time, we'll see you in November so don't go making other plans!! Once again, thank you so very much for your loyal support and your friendship. I'll get back to my "get well" tea now and we'll keep you informed of the progress! Alan Tickets can be booked from the Gig Cartel or via the website. Do let us know what your favourite songs are from the Live album - and remember - play it loud!
