SUMMARY:Katie Spencer + Henry Parker
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS:    Katie Spencer + Henry Parker Fri Dec 20th 8pm-10pm – Wrecking Ball Arts Centre (wreckingballmusic.myshopify.com) \nRaised in the East Yorkshire flatlands on the fringes of Hull\, Katie Spencer’s landscape has always been that of open skies and widening rivers. Industry still shapes the city here. The people\, as with the land\, are moulded by tides and stark horizons. Stand in the same place for long enough and you can watch the sun rise over the North Sea and then sink into crop fields\, glowing auburn in late-summer sun. It is this sense of space and movement that flows through Katie Spencer’s music. \nThe songwriting\, and most notably her guitar playing stems from a time when the steel-stringed instrument was truly finding its voice. Artists like Joni Mitchell\, James Taylor and perhaps most evidently Michael Chapman\, flow into her sound\, carrying with them the warmth and idealism of the early 70’s folk and songwriter movements. \nKatie Spencer’s widely celebrated new album\, The Edge of the Land (2022)\, follows her debut release\, Weather Beaten (2019) which was praised for its unique song-craft\, spell-binding musicianship and crystal sonic clarity\, as she brought together fans of music from all backgrounds and walks of life. Delicate and un-rushed\, the ten songs on The Edge of the Land drift by like ships on the horizon\, yet intimacy and introspection still remain. \nThe inclusivity found in her recorded works is most apparent when on stage\, with a personal connection and humour that allows the listener time to appreciate the emotion of the music. Her historical gig list is extensive\, taking in the world-renowned Celtic Connections and Cambridge Folk Festival\, whilst performances with Danny Thompson and Alan Thomson have left audiences in awe of her confidence and craftsmanship. \nAs live music has returned to our world\, we can expect to see Katie Spencer where she belongs once more\, eyes closed\, in the moment\, performing. \n— \n“Her articulate picking\, with suggestions of folk and jazz\, frames intelligently written songs and is the backbone to her music.” Guitarist Magazine \n“One of the most satisfying and spellbinding singer-songwriter collections I’ve encountered in some time.” RnR Magazine ★★★★★ \n“Imaginative imagery supported by compelling music that summons up the best of early 70s folk\, fluently delivered here with its own contemporary power. This is a fine collection of memorable songs by an outstanding writer and musician.” Record Collector \n“A timeless English folk album\, perfect for the still calm of a Sunday morning.” Shindig! \n“Katie Spencer sits gracefully in a vocal nook between Sandy Denny\, Linda Thompson and\, to conjure a name we hear less often these days\, Bridget St John.” Prog Magazine \n“The way Katie plays is never contrived\, showy or imitative; it sounds true … a world-class folk guitarist” – fRoots \n“Katie’s guitar playing has echoes of my dear friend the late great Bert Jansch. Like a musical weaver she threads her poetic lyrics through the guitar’s strings and produces little tapestries of song” – Ralph McTell \n  Henry Parker’s contemporary take on folk\, which he explores via thoughtful yet deeply\naccomplished guitar playing\, unfurls and moves much like the landscape itself – mirroring the\nunpredictable\, yet beautifully flowing\, rolling hills and valleys of his native county of West\nYorkshire.\nParker’s musical roots go back to a self appointed upbringing in prog-rock and metal. However\,\nenthralled at the age of 20 by the ethereal playing of Bert Jansch and Nick Drake\, finger-picking\nand open tunings rapidly became the essence of his sound. The result is a strain of informed\,\nprogressive folk music found nowhere else.\nHenry has recorded 2 albums: the eco-conscious ‘Silent Spring’ (2019) and ‘Lammas Fair’ (2021)\,\nbringing him to the forefront of the progressive folk music world. In 2023 he curated and recorded\non behalf of the American label Tompkins Square Records\, bringing together a tribute album to\nMichael Chapman\, one of his most important musical influences.\nPress Quotes\n“His relaxed vocals and songwriting are as warm and open as his tunings” 8/10 Uncut\n“What Parker does so effectively is to blend ancient with early-70’s and modern styles”\nMojo ★★★★\n“Original material and traditional songs create an immersive and mellifluous world in which both\nthe peace and isolation of nature are unfurled evoked through subtle arrangements”\nProg Magazine\n“Focussing on the seasons is an eternal feature of English folk music and the tradition is well\ntended here.” – Shindig! ★★★★

SUMMARY:Nick Smart - David Bowie The Collector Book Talk
DESCRIPTION:  \nTICKETS:    Nick Smart – David Bowie The Collector Book Talk Fri Dec 6th 7-30pm-9- – Wrecking Ball Arts Centre \nWas Bowie an aloof and unavailable artist\, or a ‘Starman’ who descended to bring good news to the masses and a chameleon? This book presents Bowie as revealed by the testimony of his closest friends and partners\, a Bowie with humour\, grace and humility and a highly focused Bowie – a borrower of ideas combining disparate ideas from multiple sources creating new visions. \n‘[I’m] a tasteful thief. The only art I’ll ever study is stuff that I can steal from.’ David Bowie\, 1976 \n‘To not be modest about it\, you’ll find that with only a couple of exceptions\, most of the musicians that I’ve worked with have done their best work by far with me.’  David Bowie\, 2002 \nIf it’s true that most musicians who worked with Bowie did their best work with him\, is it also the case that Bowie’s work benefited enormously from the ideas and creativity of the people he surrounded himself with? As he himself said\, ‘It’s not what you steal\, it’s how you use it!’ \nA study of the people from whom Bowie borrowed from is long overdue. Bowie’s own genius is beyond question\, but Nick Smart teases out the elements on which Bowie built his success. His profound sense of artifice\, his ability to tap into the zeitgeist of his times and his gift for gathering ideas and influences from a variety of sources and rearranging them to produce not only new perspectives but also brand-new ideas made him the artist he became. Having interviewed dozens of David Bowie’s friends and collaborators as joint editor of David Bowie Glamour magazine\, Nick finds himself with an enviable perspective about what – and who – made the David Bowie that is celebrated worldwide today. He describes the influences that Bowie picked up on and examines the creative ideas drawn from those he surrounded himself with to produce a unique portrait of a unique star and the myriad ideas that inspired him. \n\nNick Smart is joint editor and designer of the popular fanzine\, David Bowie Glamour. He has been a fan of David Bowie since 1979 and has interviewed and written articles on many of Bowie’s collaborators. He jointly curated the David Bowie World Fan Convention in Liverpool\, 2022 and New York 2023 and through his Fanzine and Convention has created a substantial following of Bowie fans on social media. \nNick will be in conversation with Rupert Creed

SUMMARY:The Unthanks
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS :  The Unthanks In Winter – Hull Theatres \nWhen December draws near\, The Unthanks will release and tour their new doable album ‘In Winter’ – a dream-like winter fantasia\, embracing both the dark and the light in the most ritualistic of seasons. \nMoving in and out of focus – like a memory – a bittersweet hymnal to our shared winter experience. Echoes of winter tunes known throughout the western world\, mix with the traditional and the newly written\, all passed with great care and love through The Unthanks filter. \n‘In Winter’ is an abstract new work that captures the warmth and nostalgia of the festive season\, the chill and darkness of the winter months\, and the reflective ritualisms of the turn of the year; the end and beginning of the circle of life. You will hear what a Tyneside band playing a German Christmas song in the style of The Beach Boys sounds like! A Spanish carol performed by English folkies through the filter of Tom Waits. A newly written tribute to the NHS. An abstract take on ‘A Ceremony of Carols’ by Benjamin Britten. Traditional wassails and old stories coloured with folk noir and traces of Vincent Guaraldi’s ‘Merry Christmas Charlie Brown’. \n“There are few times when you discover a band and they stalk immediately to the heart of everything you love and hold dear.” – Maxine Peake \n“They run from the very root of folk music to the very tip of the branch.” – Elvis Costello \n“It’s quite a rare thing now. They’ve really got everything you could want from music. And I’m very fussy.” – Robert Wyatt \n“Few of their contemporaries\, within both folk music and the wider artistic spectrum\, have such a keenly-honed ability to locate in a song the emotional essence that can\, in just a single phrase or vocal elision\, cut one to the quick.” – The Independent \n“The Unthanks have covered a lot of ground in the past decade and watching them evolve over this period has been truly inspiring.” – Phillip Selway (Radiohead) \n“It hits you in your soul rather than your head. I love them.” – Adrian Edmondson \n“If there was such a thing still as having a favourite band like in the old days\, I’d say they were my favourite band.” – Paul Morley

DESCRIPTION:  \nTICKETS:  High Fade – Thursday Nov 28th 2024 8pm-10pm – Wrecking Ball Arts Centre (wreckingballmusic.myshopify.com) \nOn a three-man crusade to set dance floors alight with their inimitable brand of razor-sharp funk and disco\, Edinburgh’s High Fade captured the attention of a global audience with their music amassing over 30 million views and streams within six months of their first release and\, in the process\, gaining recognition from music heavyweights including Jack Black\, Cypress Hill\, Deep Purple’s Glenn Hughes\, and Brad Wilk from Rage Against The Machine \n\nFor a band that only started mid-2018\, to already have the support of artists including Emeli Sandé\, David Paitch and even Peter Andre is a testament to not only their raw musical talent but also the relentless drive and ambition that has seen the band play over 1000 gigs in the last four years. With a forward-thinking approach to grassroots promotion\, High Fade have been able to capture the magic of their live performances with a proactive presence on social media and create multiple viral moments for their tracks “Sharpen Up”\, “Burnin”\, and “Burnt Toast and Coffee” that feed the appetite of new fans across the world. \n\nWith a more traditional offline approach towards learning their craft and perfecting the High Fade sound\, Harry Valentino (guitar/vocals)\, Oliver Sentance (bass) and Calvin Davidson (drums/vocals) developed their infectious style whilst feeding off the unpredictable crowd interactions that come with street shows and busking. It’s this unmatched live energy that sets their performances apart and results in the impressive musical display that comes from just three musicians working together. Indeed\, with other acts in the same genre often having upwards of six members\, being a three-piece could be a limiting factor for many\, but for High Fade it has become an integral part of the band’s DNA\, allowing them to put on a show that supersedes anything their fans have experienced before. \n\nFrom the old-school soul and Motown of John Legend and Barry White to the classic rock of bands like Kiss and Motley Crue\, High Fade’s sound draws on the musical tastes and experiences of all three members\, extracting the best bits of each and serving the funky\, disco-inspired results up live on stage. Launching their own label\, RPN Records\, has allowed the band to take control of their output with monthly singles planned for the foreseeable and a forthcoming official remix package for “Sharpen Up”. Featuring club-ready interpretations from Opolopo and Oden & Fatzo that highlight the group’s passion for electronic music\, this tangible connection to the dance music scene provides the perfect opportunity for the High Fade sound to make the transition into the setlists of house and disco DJs. \n\nBy their own admission\, “High Fade doesn’t work unless there’s a crowd\, a dance floor and people that want to get down” – it’s reassuring then that their gig diary is stacked\, with dates across the UK and Scotland confirmed throughout summer\, and a big US tour in place for later this year following their signing with leading US booking agency\, Wasserman. Throw in partnerships with brands including Ernie Ball\, Blackstar Amps and Suhr Guitars and it’s clear that the whole industry is backing the meteoric rise of High Fade\, and so should you.

SUMMARY:Soft Machine
DESCRIPTION:Since arriving on the music scene in the first wave of 1960s psychedelia\, the name Soft Machine has become synonymous with musical experimentation\, instrumental virtuosity\, and inspired creativity all animated by a truly adventurous\, progressive spirit. Although the band’s personnel has changed over the years\, their commitment has remained consistent. Some of the very brightest stars in the British jazz firmament have served in the ranks of this revered musical institution. Robert Wyatt\, Mike Ratledge\, Elton Dean\, Hugh Hopper\, Karl Jenkins\, John Marshall\, Roy Babbington\, Allan Holdsworth\, John Etheridge\, Theo Travis\, Kevin Ayers\, Daevid Allen\, Andy Summers\, Jack Bruce\, Gary Husband\, and many others\, have all focused their own unique musicality to help shape the band’s sound and personality. \nThe current lineup (John Etheridge\, Theo Travis\, Fred Baker and Asaf Sirkis) continues to defy categorization. Their latest album\, Other Doors\, sees them move seamlessly between hardcore improvisation\, pop-tinged ebullience\, muscular rock\, and visceral jazz along with shimmering electronica and ambient overtones. Its release in 2023 is the end of an era as the last studio session with legend John Marshall\, who joined the group in 1972 and sadly died in 2023 at the age of 82.This now leaves John Etheridge\, who joined the group in 1975\, as the last surviving member of the group with roots in Soft Machine’s 1970s heyday. \nTICKETS: \nSoft Machine – Thursday Nov 21st 8pm-10pm – Wrecking Ball Arts Centre (wreckingballmusic.myshopify.com) \n  \n  \n

SUMMARY:Roland Gift & The Blacks
DESCRIPTION:TICKETS :  Roland Gift & The Blacks Sat Nov 9th 2024 8pm-10pm – Wrecking Ball Arts Centre (wreckingballmusic.myshopify.com) \nAt one time picked by People Magazine as one of their 50 most beautiful people Roland Gift\ncame dramatically to attention with the release of the first Fine Young Cannibals album. His high\,\nsoaring voice was immediately recognisable\, his style being based both in classic soul singers and\nin modern techniques that provided him an edge. It was with the second FYC album four years\nlater\, however\, that the band began to break internationally\, with “She Drives Me Crazy” being\nheard everywhere\, in movies\, on television\, on the radio.\nGift spent the earlier part of his life in Birmingham then Hull. He entered music first as a\nsaxophonist with punk band Blue Kitchen\, moving on from there to the Acrylic Victims\, eventually\njoining Andy Cox and David Steel after the disintegration of The Beat sent them in search of a\nvocalist.\nRecently Gift has written 2 plays and a monologue for the BBC’s radio 4. The monologue\,\nSparkhill\, recalls the area of Birmingham Roland was born and grew up in. The plays Return to\nVegas and A Punks Progress are inspired by his coming of age in Hull.\nGift’s professional career has taken him from stage to screen and back again\, as his fans around\nthe world await the release of next project.

SUMMARY:Kris Drever
DESCRIPTION:Kris Drever Harmonic Alchemist \n  \nKris Drever originally comes from Hrossey in the Orkney Islands. Over the years\, he has taught himself to be a songwriter\, guitarist and singer of note (and sometimes many notes). \nAs well as creating award-winning original songs and instrumental pieces with the trio Lau\, he has had a fruitful solo career exploring the cracks between classic and modern songwriting and the traditional music that he comes from. \nDrever’s sound is rooted in the earthy and hypnotic rhythms of much older music\, but there’s a sophistication to both the lyricism and the instrumentalism which places him skilfully in the present. \nHe has an extensive collection of BBCR2 Folk awards\, plus a fistful of Scottish NaTrads awards for everything from best album\, best singer and best live act to best original song. \nHe has worked with many excellent musicians\, including Jack Bruce\, Eddi Reader\, Mark Knopfler\, Jerry Douglas and Roddy Woomble\, and is a member of the beautiful multi-media project Spell Songs: The Lost Words. \nCurrently\, Kris is preparing for a series of Lau events around the UK\, writing music for a new solo album and learning some old tunes for reasons he can’t quite explain. \nTICKETS \nhttps://wreckingballmusic.myshopify.com/products/kris-drever-thursday-nov-7th-2024-8pm-10pm \n
