Penguin Cafe Tonight Sunday 6 September 7.30pm at Lincoln Drill Hall

Penguin Cafe Tonight Sunday 6 September 7.30pm at Lincoln Drill Hall

The Penguin Cafe was founded by Arthur Jeffes in 2009, bringing together a talented and disparate group of musicians from the likes of Suede, Gorillaz and Razorlight, initially to perform his father Simon Jeffes’ legacy of world renowned Penguin Cafe Orchestra music, ten years after his untimely death in 1997.


Arthur, a talented composer in his own right, quickly began to create new and unique genre-defying music, with the spellbinding philosophy of the Penguin Cafe always in his mind. A uniquely exciting opportunity to hear this extraordinary brand of globally inspired but category-defying music that will bring Festival800 to a magnificent close. Tickets: £16 from 01522 873894

News from Topic Records 'This September it's June'



Back in 1976 when June Tabor's debut album was released the Topic press office came up with a rather splendid headline - this September it's June. The media of the day weren't entirely convinced and no publication used the caption. Here in the Topic office we'd like to announce that all of June Tabor's splendid recordings are available at the very special price of only £6 each throughout September. The perfect opportunity to catch up with albums you are missing from your collection or purchase a gift for a friend.
  


 

We continue our monthly choice of CDs at a very special price with 4 more great Fledg’ling titles:
 
    
   
FLED 3028  SHIRLEY COLLINS ~ The Power of the True Love Knot
FLED 3043  JOHN KIRKPATRICK ~ The Duck Race
FLED 3083  IAN MATTHEWS & The Searing Quartet ~ Joy Mining
FLED 3088  ANDY ROBERTS ~ Urban Cowboy

Our colleagues at Fledg'ling are pleased to announce two exciting new releases:


FLED 3098  PLAINSONG ~ Reinventing Richard (the songs of Richard Fariña)
Plainsong – founded by Iain Matthews and Andy Roberts in 1972 – have championed Richard Fariña’s songwriting since the group’s inception. With Reinventing Richard they have produced a classic album that imagines how his songs might have sounded, if written and first recorded in a 21st century electro/acoustic setting.


FLED 3099  JOHN KIRKPATRICK ~ Tunes From The Trenches
Squeezebox maestro John Kirkpatrick has recorded a glorious selection of of songs from the First and Second World Wars. In a programme that highlights two different kinds of material – as you’d expect there’s a smattering of the popular hits of the day, interspersed with a selection of songs sung on the Front Line by service personnel.
Many thanks for continuing to support Topic.

MARTIN SIMPSON


 

performing at

 TOWN HALL LIVE, KIRTON

on


Friday 11th 

September, 2015

We are delighted to host a concert by Martin Simpson fresh from his UK tour with Andy Cutting and Nancy Kerr to celebrate the release of the collaborative album 'Murmurs.
To many of you Scunthorpe born Martin will need no introduction.  He is one of folk music's leading lights.  He has been nominated an amazing 31 times in 15 years at the BBC Folk Awards, more than any other artists.  He has twice won the 'Musician of the Year' accolade, as well as many others.
After 35 years as a professional musician Martin is always looking at ways to evolve, whether it be as a solo artist or in band ventures, such as being a member of The Full English or in collaboration with other artists, which in the past have included the likes of Richard Thompson, Dick Gaughan, Jackson Browne and Steve Miller to name but a few.
Martin is widely acknowledged as one of the finest acoustic, slide guitar and banjo players in the world, his interpretations of traditional songs are second to none and his own songs are masterpieces of story telling.  He spent 15 years in the deep south of America and there is no other artist who has successfully combined the diverse elements of British and Afro American blues more effectively.
His solo shows are intense, eclectic, spellbinding and deeply moving.
Support will come from Kirsty Bromley, who played THL earlier in the year as a singer in the band AnyTown.  She is a contemporary folk singer and has recently released her debut album 'Time Ashore' which obtained a 4* review in the latest edition of Maverick Magazine,
Advance tickets are priced at £13.  Tickets can be obtained from the One Stop store in the town, from Brian on 01652 649230 or from www.wegottickets.com
They will be £15 on the door
Get yours soon as this concert is sure to be a sell out.

Then next time at TOWN HALL LIVE ...

DANNY SCHMIDT
 

Saturday 26th

 September, 2015
 
Named by the Chicago Tribune as one of the 50 most significant songwriters in the last 50 years.  The Austin, Texas singer songwriter has amassed a cult following for his stunningly poetic and poignant imagery.  In his use of parable and allegory, he his often compared with Cohen and Dylan, and his songs are of such quality and beauty that they more than hold their own in this exalted company.
Live, his guitar playing is exceptional and his voice his distinctive and mellifluous.  Danny will be accompanied on his latest tour by his wife Carrie Elkin, who some of you will remember from her own headlining show last year.
Support will come from Harrogate singer and keyboard player Vicky Whelan.  Last year Vicky recorded her latest EP 'Closer to the Sun' with her band Dragonfly Tattoo.  It boasts a haunting blend of fragilty and strength.

Advance Tickets for this concert will be £12, and can be obtained from the usual outlets.
