Busy Month Ahead For Topic Records.


 
Busy month ahead
new releases from Topic

October is scheduled to be very busy in the Topic office. We have several exciting new projects due for release. The splendid FULL ENGLISH album is released on Monday 7th October and LINDA THOMPSON's eagerly-awaited Won't Be Long Now on Monday 14th October. Our colleagues at Fledg'ling Records have just released a previously unheard live recording from 1968 by The YOUNG TRADITION and are to publish a hardback Book with CD of the late LAL WATERSON's lyrics, drawings and paintings on 21st October. All four projects have kept us very busy in recent months. You may have already spotted some of the many reviews and media mentions.

The Full English is a groundbreaking project sponsored by the English Folk Dance and Song Society that draws together for the first time the early twentieth century folksong collections of Harry Albino, Lucy Broadwood, Clive Carey, Percy Grainger, Maud Karpeles, Frank Kidson, Thomas Fairman Ordish, Cecil Sharp, Ralph Vaughan Williams and Alfred Williams. The result is the most comprehensive searchable database of British folk songs, tunes, dances and customs in the world.
To mark the launch of the project, folksong scholar and acclaimed singer Fay Hield has assembled The Full English band - inviting half a dozen of the top talents on the English folk music circuit to collaborate on songs drawn from these unique collections. The result is a tremendous album of material drawn from these historic collections. Rapidly becoming identified as a folk supergroup The Full English includes singer and fiddle player Seth Lakeman, who has successfully steered English folk into the musical mainstream with his high-energy performances and a series of best-selling albums. One of the world’s finest and most admired guitarists, Martin Simpson. Nancy Kerr, another fiddler/singer with a deep commitment to the English traditional repertoire, celebrated for her partnerships with Eliza Carthy and James Fagan. Sam Sweeney on fiddle and Rob Harbron on concertina, formidable instrumentalists who feature in Fay’s backing band The Hurricane Party as well as in Jon Boden’s Remnant Kings, and are two of the most in-demand session musicians on the scene. Nailing all this multi-instrumentality down is Ben Nicholls, double bassist of choice for artists as diverse as the Seth Lakeman Band, Martin Carthy and Jimmy Somerville.

The FULL ENGLISH CD is available to buy
at the special price of at £9.00 until 1st November





Last weekend, BBC4 broadcast Michael Proudfoot's splendid and moving documentary The Enigma of Nic Jones - the return of Britain's lost folk hero. Nic Jones is a legend of British folk
music. His 1980 record Penguin Eggs is widely regarded as a classic - in a poll by the Observer a few years ago, Penguin Eggs was rated number 79 of the 100 Best Records of All Time, just above Station to Station by David Bowie and just below Let It Bleed by The Rolling Stones - amazing for an LP that never actually charted. The programme is currently available to watch on the iPlayer


Linda Thompson's first album in six years has been receiving some incredible press - "Folk-rock grande dame, still damned grand" in the view of Uncut. We'll have full details of Won't Be Long Now and the Lal Waterson book teach me to be a summer's morning in a newsletter soon.
Fledg'ling Records have just released a previously unheard live recording of the mighty YOUNG TRADITION Oberlin 1968 – FLED 3094

"Copious thanks to Fledg’ling for bringing us what is definitely the historical release of the year, no question." Living Tradition

The live reputation of the mighty Young Tradition lives long in the memories of all who heard them during their brief career. Live recordings were thought not to exist until, 45 years later, an American fan remembered the reel-to-reel recording he’d made at Oberlin College on 17 November 1968. Carefully restored, these tapes are finally available for all to hear on CD and DL.


Recently we added a few more designs to our range of Topic T-shirts.
Full details can be found at:

We have a handful of copies of the limited edition DAVY GRAHAM & ALEXIS KORNER 3/4 AD vinyl Record Store Day 2013 anniversary EP left to purchase from the Topic online shop.
"Finger-style guitar maestro's signature tune, reissued on a 50th anniversary EP for Record Store Day 2013". MOJO

"The Janne Ersson Monster Big Band"

"The Janne Ersson Monster Big Band" will once again tour all of Europe in summer 2014 with the american jazz singer Michael Sumerville.




This is one of the best Nat King Cole tributes ever made and with this band it make's it even better.

The JEBB big band is probably the best there is in Europe today in the style of Buddy Rich and his music and the band also has an authentic Buddy Rich sound.

This time the band will feature the american jazz singer Michael Sumerville in a tribute to the great Nat King Cole and Frank Sinatra. More than two hours of monster hits from Nat King Cole, Frank Sinatra and Buddy Rich is a real music experience that will knock the audience totally out.

The band is a "kick ass" band and plays all the great hits from Buddy Rich including the famous West Side Story Medley.

This is american big band music at it's best. It's simply big band jazz with a rock'n roll attitude.

We'd love to hear from you regarding booking's and other question's for 2014

Phone: +46 (0) 31-190314 or cell phone: +46 (0) 706-341293. email: updates@comhem.se

Check Out The Comforts

Check Out The Comforts


The Comforts are an acoustic duo playing less obvious indie and rock covers from the past thirty years in a style that we hope is engaging, entertaining and unique. You can expect to hear everything from Nine Inch Nails to Portishead via The Beatles so eclectic to say the least! Above all, we strive to make our sets as accessible and as varied as we possibly can, whilst giving our audience something a little ‘off the beaten track’ from the traditional covers band fare.
