SUMMARY:Nick Harper
DESCRIPTION:Nick Harper appears at Wrecking Ball Arts Centre\, Hull\, presented by Loudhailer and Outsider Artists. \n  \nNick is back\, on tour and back to Wrecking Ball Arts Centre in Hull with his most eagerly anticipated new album to date: ‘Earth Day Blue’. \n  \nRecorded in Abbey Road Studio 2 on Earth Day 2024\, ‘Earth Day Blue’ is the 14th studio album release from Nick Harper\, the wildly talented and much loved singer-songwriter. With John Leckie in the producer’s chair (Stone Roses\, Radiohead\, Muse etc.) and Tchad Blake mixing (Tom Waits\, Crowded House\, Peter Gabriel etc.)\, the album is a flash mob of high calibre talent assembled for a few hours’ collaboration in a very special space. \n  \nBut this was not the first time Nick and John had been in session together in Studio 2. It was way back in 1973\, in the very same room\, that Nick was given his ‘big break’ in the world of music. The duo first ‘worked’ together when Nick\, aged 8\, recorded his first ever songs with John whilst Nick’s father Roy was recording his own seminal album ‘Lifemask’ with Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin. So the circle has been squared and the journey is complete! \n  \n‘Earth Day Blue’ is peppered with acoustic ear-worms written with a Studio 2 Beatlesque approach of short\, immediate songs\, but with the added brio of a group of studio attendees sometimes driven to sing along to Nick’s guitar and voice\, adding a party atmosphere to the day. Along the way\, Nick displays all his (un)usual talents\, from his trademark virtuoso string-bending guitar playing and references to the time of his previous session with John on the paean to Joni Mitchell ‘Joni If Only…’ to his penchant for prose poems when describing the scene at Abbey Road in the 70s in ‘The Lady in the Fur Coat’. \n  \nThe recording captures what John says is the magic of a live performance in a controlled recording environment\, though\, in a space such as this\, dripping with portent and legacy (on a personal level for the two as well as to a worldwide community of Abbey Road fanatics) there is a tangible\, added depth of poignancy and emotion underlying the album. For Nick Harper fans and for new fans alike\, it is all here in unadorned beauty\, a recording that witnesses a solo artist without dilution or compromise\, nor studio trickery or production prop\, having a great day performing in one of the most hallowed rooms on the planet. \n  \nExpect a first set from the new album and a second tour-de-force set from Nick’s incredible back catalogue. \n  \nAs Rob Adams in the Glasgow Herald declared: “Be there or be denied a life-affirming experience”. \n  \nDoors: 7:30. \nTickets: £17.50 from Wrecking Ball Arts Centre at this link: \nNick Harper – Sun Oct 13th 2024 8pm-10pm – Wrecking Ball Arts Centre (wreckingballmusic.myshopify.com) \n  \nReviews: \n  \n‘One of the finest guitarists of his generation\, the Bard of Wiltshire’ Mojo \n  \n‘Acoustic Hendrix!’ Guitar Magazine \n  \n‘Hey\, the boy is good!’ Robert Plant \n  \n‘That boy is too good.’ Bert Jansch

SUMMARY:Kathryn Williams & Withered Hand
DESCRIPTION: TICKETS:     \n\nhttps://wreckingballmusic.myshopify.com/products/kathryn-williams-withered-hand-sun-oct-6th-7-30pm-9-30pm \n  \n“As befits her multi-arts background\, Williams’ songs scan like short stories” – MOJO \n  \n“Kathryn Williams has never made a bad record” – Clash Magazine \n  \n“Thank heavens for Withered Hand\, who plies us with gorgeous pop solace and punchlines” – The Quietus  \n  \n“He’s up there with fellow Scots Belle and Sebastian; his tunes full of warm\, woozy singsong charm” – Rolling Stone \n  \nProlific singer-songwriter Kathryn Williams and recently reinvigorated troubadour Dan Willson (aka Withered Hand) have announced a collaboration album\, ‘Willson Williams’\, out April 26th via One Little Independent Records. \n  \n‘Willson Williams’ witnesses the meeting of two likeminded musicians who’ve built their successful\, independent careers on inventive folk instrumentation\, reflective and sincere lyricism\, and not a small amount of self-deprecation. Their modest confessionals\, written poetically and over nostalgic and atmospheric melodies\, are as relatable as ever\, and together they find new ways to unpack their feelings. \n  \nOne overarching theme on the album is that of grief\, when the writing process saw them both\, tragically\, in mourning for separate loved ones; Dan for his brother Karl and his friend Scott Hutchinson of Frightened Rabbit\, and Kathryn for her friend\, comedian and BBC Radio 4 presenter Jeremy Hardy. They explain that “the initial premise and starting point for us was discussions and open conversations on bereavement. We’d both recently lost friends who were also in the public eye\, and we talked about the strange place between personal loss and the communal grieving of a public figure”. Contrastingly\, the music on ‘Willson Williams’ is warm\, heartfelt and even cheerful\, an opposing nature that is completely in keeping with both their humour and candidness. \n  \nKathryn and Dan met in 2019 in a Spiegeltent at Edinburgh International Book Festival curated by Hollie McNish and Michael Pedersen. They began making music together\, travelling for writing sessions at each other’s homes\, and became fast friends. “We talk and spend time together” says Dan\, “and then it’s almost like the next time we sit down to write\, a synthesis of late-night kitchen conversations become distilled into the songs. It’s hard to separate who’s done what and where the songs sprang from. The writing and the friendship with Kath rejuvenated my own songwriting process enough to be able to do this”. \n  \nThe record was made with the help of Creative Scotland who funded the recording\, enabling the duo to enlist some of the finest talent the Scottish music scene has to offer; artists such as Louis Abbott (Admiral Fallow)\, Graeme Smillie (Arab Strap/The Delgados)\, Kris Drever (Lau)\, Chris ‘Beans’ Geddes (Belle & Sebastian)\, Pete Harvey (Modern Studies) and Kenny Anderson (King Creosote). Producer Rod Jones (Idlewild) recorded\, engineered\, and mixed the record at Post Electric Studio in Leith. \n  \nOpener ‘Arrow’ is relaxed and introspective and details a chat they’d had about Willson’s recent turn at archery\, which ended up being the perfect metaphor. Kathryn tells us that “Dan had been taking lessons with his son. We had also been sharing our feelings of transience and the gaps between working and not working\, and touring\, and being home\, and how to carry on through the fluxes of a career. The imagery and specifics of archery really embodied what we were saying to each other”.  \n  \n‘Grace’ is an expressive example of their dreamy vocal harmonies and their ability to convey emotion. It started with a mental image of a photo of Kathryn’s father wearing white shoes in the 80s. It’s about memory\, taking things for granted\, wanting recognition and praise\, and how online social activity perpetuates that dependence. It’s followed by ‘R U 4 Real?’ which Dan brought to the table having written it years prior\, to which Kathryn added the finishing touches for its inclusion on ‘Willson Williams’. \n  \nThe filmic ‘Our Best’ was the first song that Kathryn and Dan wrote together. Dan says that “Kath arrived in Edinburgh with a refrain that we worked up into the chorus of this song\, and together we built a delicate structure around it\, tentatively letting our voices harmonise and support each other\, embodying the idea of doing what we can do in the face of seemingly overwhelming odds and changes”.  \n  \nThe couple reach out with their first single ‘Shelf’\, a breezy and laid-back number that details their doubts\, but in a playful manner that works to let them and the listener know that they’re in good company. “This song came from laughing about our own insecurities and making fun of ourselves for all that we worry about. The feeling was that we would put up a shelf together in the way adults do DIY and make a difference in their lives. It was a sweet opening of just feeling like neither of us were alone in our weirdness\, which has become a running theme between us and the mental pitfalls of navigating\, performing\, creating and self-worth”.  \n  \n‘Wish’ has a sentimental element to it\, it’s about meeting people off trains or saying goodbyes at Waverley Station. It’s also about treasuring the advice from those who aren’t around anymore\, about keeping close the people who have gone and letting them know their gift to you won’t be forgotten. It’s followed by ‘Sweetest Wine’\, which is about regret for not being the person we should have been to someone. It’s about reflection on our past and how to act differently if similar situations arise again. \n  \nThe upbeat ‘Weekend’ conceals an anxiety beneath its immediately accessible pop hooks. Dan says that “This was written after going to see a concert together in Newcastle. Kath’s friend was supporting Supergrass\, who were doing a sell-out show and we arrived with our coats on straight from writing songs all day. It’s a lot about the feeling of being alien in a crowd. Sometimes on weekend nights out it feels like everyone else knows the rules of how to have a good time and we haven’t been given them”. It shares a subject with ‘Elvis’ elsewhere on the album\, another song written after a show\, Elvis Costello at Edinburgh Usher Hall. \n  \nThe album features a cover of Cat Stevens’ ‘Sing Out’\, included after Kathryn referenced the film Harold and Maude as a philosophical companion piece to the tracks. Closer ‘Big Nothing’ features a recording of eco-gardener and philosopher John Butler. It was the last song to be written and its driving rhythms and urgency is in direct opposition to the sentiment of the song\, which is about stillness\, meditation and quiet contemplation. \n  \n‘Willson Williams’ is\, above all else\, about friendship. It’s the embodiment of putting the kettle on in times of trouble\, and evenings putting the world to rights over glasses of wine. It’s about support networks and chosen families. In finding care\, solidarity\, and most importantly joy\, with the ones you love. \n  \nBased in Edinburgh\, Scottish indie folk-pop act Withered Hand is the solo project of singer/songwriter Dan Willson. A veteran of multiple bands in late-’90s and early-2000s Edinburgh music scene\, Willson began his solo career after receiving an acoustic guitar from his wife as a 30th birthday gift. Migrating slowly from bandmate to solo artist\, he began singing and writing his own loose\, jangly songs\, eventually releasing his debut EP\, ‘Religious Songs’\, under the moniker Withered Hand. Finding immediate success with the new format\, Willson released a second EP in 2009 before teaming up with legendary American producer Kramer to make his first full-length album\, ‘Good News’\, in 2010. \n  \nWith his ragged tenor and often lo-fi\, acoustic-based sound\, Willson has come to represent a certain standard in the UK DIY scene and was a part of the Fife-based Fence Collective with acts like King Creosote and James Yorkston. Two more Withered Hand EPs appeared in 2012 before Willson returned to the studio to record his follow-up LP. His second full-length\, ‘New Gods’\, was released in early 2014 by Fortuna Pop and Slumberland. The record was produced by Tony Doogan (Mountain Goats\, Belle and Sebastian) and features help from Black Tambourine’s Pam Berry\, Eugene Kelly of the Vaselines\, and members of Belle and Sebastian and Frightened Rabbit. 2022 saw him release his latest LP\, ‘How To Love’\, acclaimed by the likes of The New Yorker\, The Scotsman\, Folk Radio and more. \n  \nKathryn Williams is often described as “a songwriter’s songwriter”\, her timeless and searching work has earned her accolades\, critical acclaim\, and a loyal fan-base. In this new musical world when we talk about an artist’s body of work\, we tend to think of a handful of records stretched out across of a handful of years\, if we’re lucky. A changing industry and a focus on immediacy has done little to alter such notions\, which makes Kathryn Williams something of an anomaly – releasing 12 full-length albums under her own name since her debut LP\, ‘Dog Leap Stairs’\, released in 1999. \n  \nAs impressive a stat as that might be\, it does little to capture the true magic of Williams work; the enchanting craft that has grown and expanded as she’s moved from one project to the next\, from the breakthrough success of her Mercury Prize nominated ‘Little Black Numbers’ all the way to her Sylvia Plath tribute project ‘Hypoxia’ and her Christmas album ‘Midnight Chorus’\, written with Dame Carol Ann Duffy. Her 2022 album ‘Night Drives’ received praise from the likes of MOJO\, Uncut\, The Observer\, Record Collector\, The Line Of Best Fit\, Clash Magazine and more. While her best-known work is characterised by rich and honest songwriting inspired by the greats\, Williams has continually been able to evolve as an artist because she’s always looked outside of such boundaries. She continues to listen and learn while\, at the same time\, writing with a fiery spirit and a sense of adventure that has never once wilted. \n

SUMMARY:Not A Rock-Doc  -  Sharks  Film Screening / Q and A  with Steve 'Snips' Parsons
DESCRIPTION:Back in 1972\, Sharks quickly soared to new heights in the rock world\, a record\ndeal from the coolest label\, superstar management\, and a shark-shaped car. But\na devastating crash and drug problems saw them sink beneath the waves. Now\,\nthey reunite\, embarking on a 21st-century odyssey filled with pain\, dark humour\,\nand unexpected acts of heroism.\nThe film explores the complex dynamics of an iconic band’s journey\, from the\nhighs of their resurgence to the lows of their struggles. The film NOT A ROCK-DOC delves into the compelling story of a revered cult band from the 1970s\, as\nthey embark on a mission to revive their music and legacy in the digital age. We\nfollow the band on their promotional tour for the album KILLERS OF THE DEEP\nas they navigate the pressures faced by ‘men of a certain age’ striving to deliver\nelectrifying performances across the UK\, Japan\, and Europe.\nAccompanied by the camera crew\, they are joined by Toshio Nomura\, a\npassionate fan from Osaka\, Japan\, also documenting their journey with his miniDV camera setup. Toshio becomes an endearing third protagonist in the film\,\nshowcasing his unwavering dedication to the band.\nWe witness the gripping and hilarious portrayal of the Sharks revival as the film\ntakes us through the ups and downs of the band’s chaotic journey as they\nconfront the harsh realities of the modern music industry. We experience their\nstruggles\, triumphs\, and the universal challenges faced by creatives worldwide.\nThe film unfolds like a slow-motion car crash\, packed with hilarious and cringeworthy moments. Picture this: A former Sex Pistol jumps ship\, leaving the band\nscrambling. Chris Spedding then joins forces with Bryan Ferry for a four-month\nworld tour to make ends meet. Meanwhile\, Snips is determined to salvage the\nsituation with another tour\, but they find themselves playing to almost empty\nhalls and even performing at an ageing fan’s birthday party. Brace yourself for\nreal-life ‘Spinal Tap’ situations that will have you in stitches as the band battles\nhumiliation\, condescension\, and frustration at every turn. It’s a rollercoaster of\nlaughs\, awkwardness\, and the kind of craziness only rock & roll can deliver.\nGet ready to be entertained\, moved\, and inspired as NOT A ROCK-DOC\ncaptures the gritty essence of the 21st Century Sharks revival. Through powerful\nstorytelling\, intimate access\, and a healthy dose of laughter\, this documentary\nreveals the enduring power of artistic expression and the unyielding passion that\nfuels the artistic spirit and why we love music.\nThe finished film is a uniquely British story of failure and grace under pressure –\nwith some dynamic stage performances and high quality music…\n…but it’s not a Rock-Doc. \nTICKETS \nNot A Rock-Doc – Sharks Film Screening / Q and A Fri Sept 6th 7-30pm – – Wrecking Ball Arts Centre (wreckingballmusic.myshopify.com) \n

SUMMARY:The Blow Monkeys
DESCRIPTION:The Blow Monkeys are unique with a career spanning over 40 years. Always making new music\, always stretching their own musical boundaries. With worldwide hits such as the classics “Digging Your Scene” and “It Doesn’t Have To Be This Way”\, they became household names but there was always so much more going on with these soulful troubadours Their relentless desire to move forward\, to collaborate\, to be socially engaged and to have something to contribute. Back in the 80’s they worked with people as varied as Curtis Mayfield\, Paul Weller\, Cheb Khaled and even Jamaican Toaster EEK-a-Mouse! “No band since The Clash in their early 80’s heyday had attempted to act as a sounding board for such politically engaged\, eclectic music” Dr Robert even took time out to release one of the UK’s first homegrown ‘house’ records “Wait”\, his top 5 duet with Chicago soul diva Kym Maselle. And so the journey continues. Reformed in 2008 The Blow Monkeys have been incredibly productive releasing eight new albums and playing hundreds of concerts. The latest album due out in May 2024 on Glasgow independent label LNFG is called “Together/Alone” and comes on the back of a new compilation “Time Storm- Greatest Hits Vol 2” which covers some of the extraordinary new music they have made. These Monkeys continue to evolve. From their beginnings on the underground club scene right through to their appearance on the biggest selling soundtrack of all time “Dirty Dancing” (You Don’t Own Me) and beyond. Long may they swing. \n  \nTICKETS : \nhttps://wreckingballmusic.myshopify.com/products/the-blow-monkeys-thursday-july-18th-2024-8pm-10pm

SUMMARY:High Fade
DESCRIPTION:  \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. \nTICKETS: \nhttps://wreckingballmusic.myshopify.com/products/high-fade-sat-july-6th-2024-8pm-10pm

I give them a double Redick thumbs-up.” — Darren Redick – Planet Rock Radio.\nThese strangers who weren’t actually Rush made me feel as though I was finally attending a legitimate Rush concert.

SUMMARY:Wreckless Eric
DESCRIPTION:On the eve of his 70th birthday\, and to celebrate the re-publication of his 2003 autobiography A Dysfunctional Success\, Wreckless Eric will be performing\, not in London\, New York\, Tokyo\, Amsterdam\, or any other international hotspot\, but in the city of Kingston Upon Hull. Eric attended the art college in Hull in the nineteen seventies and developed a deep affection for the place. Indeed\, he wrote the classic Whole Wide World there\, sitting on a bench on Cottingham Road on a spring evening in 1974.One of the five sections that make up A Dysfunctional Success is entitled Hull. The re-edition includes lyrics from five songs including Gateway To Europe from his 2018 album Construction Time & Demolition. The song is of course about Hull:They say they’re going to build a bridgeConnecting nowhere in particular with where no one wants to go…His albums encapsulate pop\, bubblegum\, garage trash and psychedelia. His live performances are sonic journeys through time and space. Eric presents himself alone if not simply with electric and acoustic guitars\, and electronics of his own making. For this performance he’ll be featuring songs that illustrate the story\, and of course there’ll be readings from A Dysfunctional Success.“I think I was hoping for insight into the early Stiff Records days\, which I didn’t get. What I got was much better\, and a great deal more interesting: a shambling\, acutely observed\, very funny-sad-true-sharp autobiography…” Neil GaimanIn a world of fly-by-night fakery Wreckless Eric remains a national treasure. Paul Moody – Classic RockGoulden has enjoyed a genuinely extraordinary career. Alexis Petridis – The Guardian \n  \nTickets \nhttps://wreckingballmusic.myshopify.com/products/wreckless-eric-friday-may-17th-2024-8pm-10pm \n
