Wild Ponies

 

 

Performing @
Kirton Town Hall Live

Sunday 23rd November

 
The WILD PONIES are Doug and Telisha Williams.  Formerly from Martinsville, Virginia they moved to East Nashville a couple of years ago to concentrate on music full time.  The move has paid off with rave reviews in the States and their first headline UK Tour.  Some of the THL regulars will remember them from last year when they supported Rod Picott.
Doug and Telisha’s friendly and cheerful nature belies the serious tone of their material, which covers topics such a sexual abuse and murder, but their acerbic wit always creeps into their songs.
Telisha plays upright bass and sings lead vocals.  She comes over all sweet with a sunshine smile, but with the subject matter of the songs she taunts and teases.

Doug supports her words with harmonies and although his vocals are perfect, it is his guitar that is his weapon.  He fingerpicks beautiful melodies in ballads such as in the song ‘Iris’ and really bends the strings on the upbeat songs.
 For more information and videos visit: www.townhalllive.co.uk
Support will come from our very own ‘sound man’ Gerry McNeice who will perform a 35 minute set with The Gerry McNeice Band.
Advance tickets are priced at £10 otherwise £12.00 on the door. Tickets can be obtained from the One Stop store in the town, from Brian on 01652 649230 or from www.wegottickets.com
Don't miss it!

SWING FEELING Little Big Band

« SWING FEELING » Little Big Band
Organised in 1992, Swing Feeling is today considered by the jazz critics and the jazz amateurs as one of the hottest European bands, with the following musicians...

Jérome Etcheberry or Gilles Berthenet (premier trompette)
Dan Vernhettes (deuxième trompette, leader) - Jean-Pierre Dumontier (trombone)
Hugues Dieuzeide (arrangeur, anches) - Jacques Montebruno (anches)
Philippe Dourneau (anches) - Philippe Milanta (piano)
Enzo Mucci (contrebasse) - François Laudet (drums)

The répertoire proposes a promenade into the music of the big bands of the 30s and 40s, such as Fletcher Henderson, Count Basie, Duke Ellington, Jelly Roll Morton, Andy Kirk, Chick Webb, Erskine Hawkins, Fats Waller, Bull Moose Jackson, Lester Young, Harry Edison, Claude Hopkins, Oscar Peterson, Sabby Lewis, Todd Rhodes, Cab Calloway… and some original arrangements by the band.

“With Swing Feeling, we are brought back to the Savoy or any great dancing hall that welcomed by the best big jazz bands. Swing Feeling’s rhythm section has been exemplary during the whole concert, Philippe Milanta often reaching his best (especially in his punctuation's and solos ‘à la Basie’) on the piano. All the soloists are excellent, with a particular mention for Jérôme Etcheberry, who brought the house down on Saint Louis Boogie, Second Balcony Jump, Yacht Club Swing, Krazy Krapers (with an exciting exchange between the trumpet and the drums that reminded me of the famous Benny Goodman’s Sing, Sing, Sing). The final tune, Bellboy Boogie ,had another excitnig dialog, this time between the two trumpeters.” François Abon, Hot Club de France
Swing Feeling is known for its swing, its feel for blues and its collective improvisations.

Maurice Cullaz, the late president of the French Académie du Jazz, wrote: “They are only nine, but they swing like fifteen !” “This band is a first class band. The music breathes, the rhythm is relaxed, and the melodies are really felt. Here one approaches the groove of the old american bands. The musicians really play like one man as they share a common musical spirit, and they all know how to raise the tension by playing solos that are coherent with the esthetic of the group. The size of the band allows a greater flexibility than an average big band has, and offers more liberty to each soloist.”

Guy Chauvier, Jazz classique
“The spirit of Kansas City and Harlem inspires this orchestra. Homogeneity, rhythmic precision and spontaneity unite these musicians of one of the best European bands.”

Jazz Notes
A tender or dynamic music, according to the color of each tune, with arrangements that really swing,
and lots of improvisations. Feeling and Swing!
