THE OFTEN HERD ON FRIDAY 27TH SEPTEMBER 2024 - TOWN HALL LIVE KIRTON IN LINDSEY

THE OFTEN HERD ON FRIDAY 27TH SEPTEMBER 2024 - TOWN HALL LIVE KIRTON IN LINDSEY with The Kirton - in - Lindsey Rock Choir supporting

The Often Herd, from Newcastle, are one of the country’s upcoming bands.  They are Rupert Hughes (guitar & vocals), Evan Davies (mandolin), Niles Krieger (violin) and Sam Quintana (double bass).   The line-up might resemble an American string band, complete with driving energy, tight vocal harmonies and dazzling interplay but their vibrant transatlantic sound is coloured by their surroundings, the striking natural and industrial landscape of Northern England.  Their music is exciting to listen to.  They are tight, virtuosic and dynamic live.
Rupert and Evan write songs steeped in personal experience, drawing from a wide range of influences ranging from folk, Americana and bluegrass.
Their debut album 'Where the Big Light Shines' was released in June 2022 to great acclaim.
Flock to The Herd, you won't be disappointed. 
As a bonus, support will come from the Kirton – in – Lindsey Rock Choir. 

Tickets for this concert are priced at £15.  Get yours by emailing Brian at brianchudley@btinternet.com or by ringing him on 01652 649230.  You can also pop in to Morrisons Daily (Kirton) or buy them on line  from www.wegottickets.com

KRIS DREVER & CHRIS STOUT = ***NEW COLLABORATION***

 

***NEW COLLABORATION*** Available Live Touring Dates Feb/March 2025   KRIS DREVER & CHRIS STOUT   Kris Drever and Chris Stout are icons of the Scottish roots culture and two of the most powerful contemporary voices to sing out of it in the last quarter century.    Both come from the Northern Isles (Kris from Orkney and Chris from Shetland) and represent the strength of those identities in the music they inhabit. Inherited through childhood, family and osmosis, you can hear the wind whistling through the strings, the rhythms washing against your animal self and the old stories whispering out from the ingleneuk.    In Glasgow in 2019 the two found themselves to be neighbours in the West End and began meeting up and playing music together. Both musicians found a sound of great interest and emotional power in these little get-togethers, and it soon became a more regular happening.    Now they’ve decided to share the experience with a wider audience. Come and hear songs and tunes you know and some you don’t, shining through the unique prism of these two ‘one of a kind’ musicians.   Kris is a guitarist, singer and founder member of the trio Lau. He’s a multi award winning singer songwriter and has played and written with a galaxy of stars (Eddi Reader, Roddy Woomble, Mark Knopfler, Kate Rusby, Jack Bruce, Karine Polwart…).   Chris is a virtuoso violinist, viola player and composer, founder member of the legendary Shetland band ‘Fiddlers Bid’ and long-time collaborator of the genius harpist Catriona McKay. He has performed in venues as storied as the Sydney Opera House and has composed for and performed with The Royal Scottish National Orchestra, The Russian Philharmonic Orchestra, The Trondheim Symphony Orchestra and a great many more.   Video Link     Video Link     For available Live touring dates in late Feb - mid March 2025 please contact: gail@laughingdogmusic.co.uk CHRIS STOUT KRIS DREVER

Dear Jazz Club Friends

We do hope that you are enjoying the lovely summer weather that has reached us at last. We have been working hard behind the scenes to put together a fantastic programme of music covering the next six months. The details of all these concerts are on the Key Theatre website where you can buy the tickets. Go to https://keytheatre-peterborough.com/whats-on/ Tickets can also be bought from the Key Theatre Box Office (01733 852992).

If you haven’t seen Ben Holder before, you are in for a real treat. He is an amazing young
violinist with a fantastic stage presence. And the music is really hot!!

So, for the first concert of the new season on September 1st, we are delighted to present an evening of Gypsy Swing. This genre was created in the 1930’s by the genius gypsy guitarist Django Reinhardt and brilliant violinist Stephane Grappelli with their Quintette of the Hot Club of France. Ben Holder's Hot Club Quartet is without doubt one the very best bands playing this genre and receives rave reviews wherever they play. Ben is the most gifted and exciting young jazz violinist in the UK. You can expect unbelievable musicianship alongside witty repartee from this wonderful entertainer. This will be an evening of blisteringly energetic and impressive live jazz. Ben will be joined by three masters of the craft - Jez Cook and Caley Groves on guitars, plus acclaimed double bassist Mike Green.

Best wishes

Laurie, David and Joe

TWO CONCERTS FOR AUGUST 

FRIDAY 9TH - RILEY CATHERALL & EMILY LAWLER

For our first concert we welcome Riley Catherall and Emily Lawler.

Riley is a singer songwriter based in Melbourne, whose graceful trajectory into the Australian alt-country world has not gone un-noticed.  He has built a credible status as one of Australia's most promising songwriters through his poetic sincerity and alluring live shows.  He released his debut album 'When I Go' in 2022.  He released his second album 'The Light, The Beautiful Liar this month.  Both contain songs that are beautifully constructed and immaculately delivered.

Riley is probably best known as the lead guitarist and The Wildes.  He is in the UK for two months touring with the band followed by a country wide solo tour.

Sharing the bill with Riley will be Emily Lawler.  Emily is well known to THL audiences, having played two support lots over the years and more recently with Lachlan Bryan in July.  At the latter concert she stunned the audience with her pure, dynamic voice.   As well as her own solo slot playing guitar she will also accompany Riley on violin, singing duets and backing vocals.

It will be a lovely evening and one not to be missed,  

Tickets for this concert are priced at £14.  Get yours by emailing Brian at brianchudley@btinternet.com or by ringing him on 01652 649230.  You can also pop in Morrisons Daily (Kirton) or buy them on line at from www.wegottickets.com

The second concert is on SATURDAY 31ST when JULIAN TAYLOR headlines

Over the year's he has released twelve studio albums, but it was not until 2020 that he enjoyed a breakthrough with the release of 'The Ridge'.  With that album Julian found a whole new audience and worldwide acclaim.  In 2022 he released 'Beyond The Reservoir' and in 2023 his profile in the UK skyrocketed after his appearance in front of thousands at The Cambridge Folk Festival/

Julian's  songs are so lyrically and sonically rich.  Live, he takes his audiences on an emotional journey, full of highs and lows. 

Now, in 2024 he is back in the UK with the same band to play several prestigious Festivals and selected indoor venues.  This is definitely a concert not to be missed.  It will be special.
