SUMMARY:LYR at Wrecking Ball Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:LYR + support: Vicky Foster & The Broken Orchestra. \nLYR is a band comprised of author and current British poet laureate Simon Armitage\, singer-songwriter Richard Walters and multi-instrumentalist & producer Patrick Pearson. \n…the discovery of a filthy word on a Post-it note triggers an-out-of-body romantic reunion; the names of expensive artisan paints as markers of social stratification; never trust a person who won’t offer a sugar lump to a horse; the lifespan of a relationship that begins in a park in June and ends in downpour in September; a vagrant scavenges a living in the central reservations of Britain’s motorway network; the hand that plucks the buttercup still throws a decent uppercut; the Second Coming about as likely as a single-track train arriving on time in the twilight hours of modern western civilization; a room-to-room expedition through the Great Indoors in search of “home”; the infinite swansong of the run-out spiral of an old vinyl album; left to his own devices a jilted lover itemises examples of near-weightlessness… \nSimon Armitage\, Patrick James Pearson and Richard Walters are LYR. LYR is Land Yacht Regatta. Land Yacht Regatta are proud to present their debut album Call In The Crash Team\, the culmination of a triangular collaboration that took shape against a backbeat of social alienation\, a backcloth of austerity politics\, a search for beautiful noises and the uncontainable urge to fuse language and music. An album that gives poetic voice to acts of resistance and surrender\, Call in the Crash Team is a sonogram of small personal victories\, an audio X-ray of momentary emotional capitulations\, and a twenty-first century soundscape that echoes the exquisite ache of day-to-day life\, all the lovely heartbreaks and the painful joys.

SUMMARY:Polly Paulusma at Wrecking Ball Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:Polly Paulusma heads to Wrecking Ball Arts Centre as part of her Autumn 2022 tour. \nPolly Paulusma follows up her critically-acclaimed 2021 album Invisible Music with The Pivot On Which The World Turns (Wild Sound/OLI 2022)\, affectionately shortened to Pivot. The album marks a return to her singular brand of insightful songs that\, in their subject matter\, roam around the badlands of love\, sex and parenthood\, death and grief\, failure and success\, violence and healing. \nPivot is the fifth studio album — and the ninth release — from this growing indie-folk legend\, whose thought-provoking albums since 2004’s Scissors In My Pocket (OLI 2004) have earned her plaudits from international champions as far flung as Nic Harcourt at KCRW in LA and Michele Manzotti in Italy — as well as homegrown accolades from Mark Radcliffe (BBC Radio 2) and The Guardian. \nPolly is also a producer and label founder — her own label Wild Sound released records from nine other artists before becoming a folk imprint at OLI in 2016. Her songs are marked by intelligent lyrics and surprising melodic turns\, and this new album features cowrites with Kathryn Williams\, David Ford and the novelist Laura Barnett.

SUMMARY:Deborah Bonham / Peter Bullick at Wrecking Ball Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:The youngest of three children\, Deborah Bonham grew up in a musical family\, where all siblings had an amazing introduction to music. Deborah’s Mom and Dad were music lovers\, regularly playing the music of Benny Goodman and Glenn Miller. They were also fans of renowned trumpeters Harry James and Louis Armstrong and vocalists Mahalia Jackson\, Lena Horne and Frank Sinatra. Deborah’s older brother Michael was a photographer and DJ of Northern Soul and Motown\, her eldest brother John was\, and still is\, considered one of the greatest drummers who ever picked up a pair of sticks. It was Deborah’s two brothers’ love of soul\, blues and rock music that sparked her passion for singing from an early age.  \nSince those early days\, Deborah has established herself as one of the finest blues\, rock and soul singers the UK has produced. She has released a number of critically acclaimed original albums and her outstanding concert performances at the Royal Albert Hall\, London Palladium and the 2018 USA Stars Align Tour with Paul Rodgers and Jeff Beck\, all garnered rave reviews.  \n“Strong voiced\, personable and quite the rock & roll singer. This woman\, Deborah Bonham (the sister of the late Led Zeppelin drummer) earned a standing ovation at the end of her set\, clearly a welcome addition to the tour.” (Stars Align Tour\, Paul Rodgers\, Jeff Beck\, Ann Wilson\, Deborah Bonham\, Holmdel\, New Jersey) – Elmore Magazine \n“Deborah Bonham -The best female vocalist and tightest band we should have been hearing for the last 20 years —An arena- worthy show in a (New York) club!” Carol Miller Q104.3 – Get the Led Out \nBelfast born guitarist Peter Bullick\, lauded by the press for his passionate playing\, paid his dues playing clubs and theatres across the UK and Europe for many years. The constant touring allowed Peter to develop his own style while holding dear guitarist Rory Gallagher and others who were a big influence on his playing. Of all the guitarists that influenced Peter it was Paul Kossoff with whom he connected with the most. It was fate that eventually Peter would meet up with Deborah and form The Deborah Bonham Band. Years later Kossoff’s influence on Peter’s playing made a strong impression on Paul Rodgers\, who selected Peter and the rest of The Deborah Bonham Band to back him on both his Free Spirit tour of the UK in 2017 and the 2018 USA Stars Align Tour.  \n“Guitarist Peter Bullick constantly showed why Paul Rodgers touted him as a replacement for Kossoff should Free ever reform. His bluesy but always economic fills and solos lit up the stage.” – Tight But Loose \nIt was after the 2018 Stars Align Tour that Deborah and Peter signed with the California based Quarto Valley Records. Deborah and Peter wanted to recognise that this was a joint band venture and changed the name from The Deborah Bonham Band to Bonham-Bullick. The new album\, under the new name Bonham-Bullick\, showcases more of Deborah’s powerhouse vocals and Peter’s masterful guitar work\, with one blistering solo after another. This is a Bonham-Bullick songbook of interpretations of some great obscure soul\, blues\, rock and gospel songs spanning seven decades. The Bonham-Bullick album takes you on a journey with songs from amongst others\, O.V. Wright\, Johnnie Taylor\, Ann Peebles\, Bernard Fowler\, Mark Lanegan\, Charles Brown and Betty Harris. Throughout the recording process of the album\, Deborah and Peter have shown a deep respect for the original songs while reaching deep to make each song an exciting new adventure for the listener. After the album was recorded\, it was Deborah’s lifelong friend\, Robert Plant\, who suggested sending the album to Peter Gabriel’s Real World Studios for renowned engineer Tim Oliver to mix and master. The Bonham-Bullick album will be released on Quarto Valley Records in March 2022.  \nBONHAM-BULLICK ‘British Blues Boom’ Live in Concert trailer \n \nwww.deborahbonham.com

SUMMARY:John Verity Band at Wrecking Ball Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:John Verity is currently one of the most consistent performers on the blues/rock circuit. His previous appearances have included opening for Jimi Hendrix\, Janis Joplin and many others in the USA before time spent as frontman with Argent. \nAfter Argent came off the road John was in demand for recording and guesting with other musicians including Ringo Starr and The Zombies. However\, John missed playing live and once again returned to this some years ago. \nAt the beginning of 2020 John and the band with Roger Inniss on bass and Liam James Gray on drums\, embarked on ‘The JV 50th Anniversary Tour and launched the latest album ‘Passion’. Unfortunately this all came to a halt in March of the same year but now we have re-organised all our previous appearances as the 50th Anniversary Tour re-visited! \nSome audience comments from previous John Verity Band appearances:-\n‘Probably the best blues voice heard at this weekend’s festival.’\n‘This was the performance of the event. John and the band smashed it out of the park!’\n‘And it would have always been difficult to follow the triumphant John Verity Band. He still has the mane of rock hair\, still finds the high notes and still plays both rock and blues guitar with effortless panache.’

SUMMARY:POSTPONED - Curved Air at Wrecking Ball Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:GIG POSTPONED\nSTATEMENT FROM CURVED AIR \n“It is with great regret that we have to announce that due to a member of the band testing Covid positive this morning\, we have no option but to postpone tomorrow night’s show at Wrecking Ball Arts Centre in Hull. This is most disappointing for everyone concerned but we absolutely must put the safety of the band members\, crew\, local venue staff and not least our audiences first and foremost. We ask ticket holders to retain tickets as we are hopeful it will be possible to reschedule the show to a date the mutually suits both the band and venue. Please stay tuned as regards announcements concerning any of the other upcoming shows.” \n  \nCurved Air is a unique band\, synthesizing an eclectic blend of musical styles into an instantly identifiable sound. Curved Air’s hits include “It Happened Today”\, “Vivaldi”\, “Marie Antoinette” and “Backstreet Luv”. Curved Air founder member vocalist Sonja Kristina leads a skilled and talented new line-up\, which includes returning 1970s member Kirby Gregory\, bringing their unique music to an existing and new fanbase in the 21st Century. \nCurved Air’s concerts and festival appearances continue to thrill a steadily increasing mass of new and old fans worldwide. Their experimental blends of classical themes\, electronic sounds and pop/rock energy and beautiful\, timeless songs are performed with fire and passion and tremendous musicianship. \nConsidered (according to AllMusic) “one of the most dramatically accomplished of all the bands lumped into Britain’s late-’60s prog explosion”\, Curved Air is a pioneering British progressive rock group of musicians from mixed artistic backgrounds. \nThey are famed for their unforgettable live performances and ‘Art Rock’ music – the quasi classical imprints of Terry Riley hooked onto beautiful and demonic violin combined with electronic adventurous synths and interwoven with brilliant guitar wizardry mesmerisingly embroidered by the subliminal and exotic presence of a unique lead singer Sonja Kristina. All these elements elevated them from the underground Roundhouse scene to top the album charts in the early ’70s.

SUMMARY:The Lounge Society in-store gig at Wrecking Ball Music & Books
DESCRIPTION:This acoustic gig celebrating the launch of The Lounge Society’s new album Tired of Liberty (released on August 26) in the intimate surroundings of Wrecking Ball Music & Books is an event not to be missed.  Entry is FREE. \nPlying their own distinct breed of art-punk – taking in fleet-footed guitar and drum motifs\, bite-and-bark vocals and popping electronics – Speedy Wunderground’s The Lounge Society have made quite the reputation for themselves in their short time together. After releasing their debut EP Silk For The Starving to universal acclaim in 2021 (“The Lounge Society are assuredly blazing their own path” – NME) the band toured extensively throughout the UK last Autumn\, performing sold-out\, enthralling headline shows across the country\, before taking their first steps onto European festival stages. This autumn\, they hit the road again\, playing shows that include their biggest Manchester headline so far at Gorilla\, London’s Village Underground\, and a homecoming show at The Trades Club in Hebden Bridge. \n \nReturning for the third time to the studio of Speedy Wunderground’s Dan Carey\, Hebden Bridge’s The Lounge Society are back; this time\, with the mindset of crafting a debut album conceived out of desire\, raised by collaborative muscle-memory\, and kept beating\, by the sacred-heart of  emotional-spirit. \nRecorded over two weeks in November 2021\, Tired of Liberty is a stunningly ubiquitous snapshot of instrumental meltdown\, and timeless adolescence. Keen to uphold the manipulated elasticity of a recorded event\, the majority of the eleven tracks that make up the record (with the exception of ‘Generation Game’\, which saw its beginnings as part of the Speedy Wunderground 7” series\, and was subsequently re-recorded)\, were written either just before\, or throughout the duration of those fortnight sessions. \nA rarity for most bands\, The Lounge Society functions best as a collective entity. With no core-leader\, everything from the sources of inspiration\, to the lyrics themselves\, is handled collaboratively\, and with equal merit; as they strive to create a self-sufficient creative unit\, larger than the individual. Far from a documentation of disenfranchised youth\, Tired of Liberty seeks to overthrow with striking articulation. Stirringly fearless\, it masterfully combines archetypal storytelling\, with as many disparate principles as introspectively possible; capturing the aural shifts in time and attitudes between ‘Generation Game’\, and where we join The Lounge Society now. \nBrimming with anthemic-myriad\, this is the real deal. Genuine urgency from a group of young creatives living and breathing their inaugurated prime\, with breath-taking\, anarchic-proficiency. Whether it’s “lies drenched in sarcasm” (‘Blood Money’)\, or\, the clattering\, riff-screaming irony of ‘Remains’\, The Lounge Society’s deep-rooted inversion towards our “culture of anti-freedom”- the ludicrous excuses man makes for the ceasing of mankind\, is one which is both culturally-associative\, and\, counter-culturally embracing. \nPeriodically awakening the living rebel running skin deep in us all\, ‘No Driver’ is a heart-wrenching masterpiece. With every guitar-laden growl\, it intricately sheds and unveils each layer of humanity until all that remains is skeletal distress\, and intervening frequencies of invigorating-abandon. “The sun is sleeping\, all of the time” yet The Lounge Society are awake and desirous; insatiably hellbent on tearing down failing social-structures\, before the new-dawn seeks to counterattack. \nBe it the self-prophesying hum of the studios ‘Lounge’ recording-light\, or\, the re-configuration of the entire room so the mics moved away from the instruments with each song\, (“we wanted to start with a hard focus and end chaotically”- notes Carey)\, every possible attention to detail was considered in order to honour the core ethos of fulfilled direction. Fervently striving to build an environment that grows bigger with sound and time\, in Tired of Liberty the creative process itself holds as much experimental value\, as the conceptual journey as a whole. \nWhether its personal growth\, banded maturity\, or a hearty combination of the two\, Tired of Liberty is an expertly captured documentation of four young-adults\, at the baptism of their cultural-ignition. After all\, you only get one opportunity at a debut record. “Anything that follows\, is just an evolution from that.”- The Lounge Society. \nThe gig will be followed by a signing and copies of Tired of Liberty will be available to purchase in-store\, subject to availability. \nFor FREE entry\, book a ticket below. \nYou can also pre-order your copy of Tired of Liberty below. Your purchase can be collected in-store at the event.

SUMMARY:Katie Spencer Band - Album Launch
DESCRIPTION:Katie Spencer launches her highly anticipated second album ‘The Edge of the Land’ with her band\, at Wrecking Ball Arts Centre\, Hull. \nFeaturing Katie Spencer (guitars\, vocals)\, Tom Mason (double bass) and Miles Pillinger (drums)\, plus support from Nick Jonah Davis. \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 highly anticipated 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 returns to our world\, we can expect to see Katie Spencer where she belongs once more\, eyes closed\, in the moment\, performing. \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“She makes her own quietly ingenious musical statement through the notes and silences\, making every note\, phrase and musical punctuation mark count in a deft\, elegant and intelligently undemonstrative fashion … Katie’s stylish blend of warmth and precision proves intensely captivating!” – Folk Radio \nwww.katiespencer.net \nhttps://www.facebook.com/katiespencermusic/\nhttps://twitter.com/KRSpencerMusic\nhttps://www.instagram.com/katiespencermusic/\nhttps://www.patreon.com/katiespencer

SUMMARY:Man at Wrecking Ball Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:With roots firmly planted in the fertile ground of the South Wales rock scene\, Man were formed in 1968 and\, pausing for a brief intake of breath in the late 1970s\, continue as a recording and gigging band to this day. Man’s latest album\, ‘Anachronism Tango’\, was released by Point in 2019\, along with limited edition CD EP ‘Mojo Train’. \nAlong the way many have swung their kit bags on board\, leapt into their hammocks and joined the ship’s crew. Some have stayed\, while some have left and several have done both. Repeatedly. This site contains many articles on the band’s history\, memorabilia\, recorded works and those of the various friends and relations whose paths have been crossed at some point. It’s a work in progress and perhaps\, now the Forth Bridge has at last received a decent lick of paint\, one of the few remaining continuous labours.

SUMMARY:The Songbook Sessions
DESCRIPTION:An intimate night featuring the regions finest singer/songwriters on the same stage performing\, and explaining the inspirations behind\, their music. We are proud to have some well respected stars from the Hull music scene. \nRuth Scott & James Wood\nFrom the highly acclaimed Late Night Marauders\, whirlwind soulstress Ruth Scott will be accompanied by the piano wizardry of James Wood\, their songs have a unique blend of soul\, R‘n’B and boogie evokes visions of smoky basement clubs in the 1950’s where beatniks and jazzheads would party. \nPaul Baggott\nEnigmatic frontman and songwriter for legendary Hull band Turismo\, Paul graced many stages and festivals across the land throughout the noughties with a band that were considered one of the most loved of a generation in Hull. His songs are an anthemic\, poetic take on modern life and this is a rare outing for him to explain the inspiration behind them. \nEmma Fee\nEmma has been performing in and around her hometown Hull for many years\, most frequently with her band Happy Endings. Her songs are evocative and melodic\, drawing lyrical inspiration from everyday experiences. Influenced by everything from The Beatles to Bright Eyes\, Emma’s acoustic performances are honest\, sometimes melancholic\, sometimes upbeat and always heartfelt. \nQuicksilver Kings\nLed by Keith Hagger\, this much loved acoustic trio from Hull\, UK\, who weave elements of country\, folk\, blues and pop over vintage rootsy songwriting. Their sixties-inspired\, hook-laden songs will leave you wondering if you’ve heard them before and determined to hear them again.

SUMMARY:Astrid Williamson at Wrecking Ball Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:Astrid Williamson hails from the remote Shetland Islands. She has to date released eight studio albums. ‘Rooms’ as part of indie trio Goya Dress\, and a further seven as a solo artist. Astrid’s ninth studio album\, released in February 2022\, is inspired by writings she discovered within a folder buried deep in a hard drive\, and intriguingly titled Into The Mountain. \nOver her career\, Williamson has collaborated (as a vocalist\, musician and/or co-writer) with (among others) John Cale\, Johnny Marr & Bernard Sumner (Electronic)\, Arthur Baker\, Stereophonics\, This Mortal Coil/Hope Blister originator Ivo Watts-Russell\, European luminary Stephan Eicher\, Lisa Gerrard (Dead Can Dance)\, Oystein Greni (Big Bang)\, and with Daniel Johns (Silverchair) on Lisa Gerrard’s solo album Twilight Kingdom. Williamson has also written music for film and TV\, her songs have appeared in films including Bill Forsyth’s comedy Gregory’s Two Girls (1999) and she was Musical Director\, song arranger\, and made appearances in sketches on Rob Newman’s BBC comedy series The History of The World. \nThe writings that inspired Into The Mountain\, a mix of poetry\, music and personal journal\, captured moments from a year-long tour Williamson undertook with Dead Can Dance in 2012-13\, described by Williamson as “Part letters to a lover\, or perhaps hoped for lover\, part travelogue from the life of a touring musician”. The writing\, encapsulating feelings of desire\, loss\, reflection\, and acceptance\, were then developed on an acoustic piano across ten separate nights and form the rich soundscapes and emotionally vivid alt-folk songs of the new record of the same name.

SUMMARY:Lau present Unplugged at Wrecking Ball Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:Lau Present ‘Unplugged’ Concert Tour 2021 / 2022 \nWrecking Ball Arts Centre\nSaturday 26th February\, 2022\nTime: 8pm (doors 7pm)\nTickets: £21 (includes booking fee) \nFor the first time in over a decade\, Lau present an entirely acoustic tour. \nThe pioneering Scottish folk trio have always experimented with sound and form; the results have always been complex and thrilling. \nAlready acknowledged as phenomenal live performers (‘the UK’s best live band’ – the Guardian)\, Lau arrived at a new creative peak with 2019’s Midnight and Closedown (Reveal Records). That album was produced by John Parish (PJ Harvey\, This Is The Kit)\, who said: ‘Lau are in touch with their roots but not bound by them’. \nThe Unplugged concert tour sees traditional music’s most celebrated innovators strip away their banks of electronics\, loops and wild effects. The trio of Kris Drever (guitar\, vocals)\, Martin Green (accordion) and Aidan O’Rourke (fiddle) feel drawn to a more raw and plain-speaking aesthetic. The approach is subtler\, less about spectacle\, more about close listening. In brash and polarised political times\, here is the poetry of real instruments and considerate music making. \nPraise for Lau: \n‘Lau are a remarkable band – the most musically adventurous trio in British folk – exquisite and hypnotic\, musicianship at its best’\n★★★★★ THE GUARDIAN \n‘This is music of such stunning creativity – one of most thrilling live bands’ SUNDAY HERALD \n‘Instrumental virtuosity’ MOJO \n‘Intoxicating\, mesmerising music’\nBBC MUSIC Magazine \n‘Quite unlike anything else out there’\nACOUSTIC Magazine \nFour-time winners ʻBest Groupʼ at the BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards \nDoors: 7:00pm

SUMMARY:Henry Parker at Wrecking Ball Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:Henry Parker Live \nSupport: Dez Allenby \nWith his eco-conscious debut album ‘Silent Spring’\, Henry Parker laid down a new sound for modern folk music\, drawing deep from the well of the sixties and seventies revival. His style is a clear joining of the past and the present\, a unique voice in the folk world that echoes with sounds of the tradition\, whilst venturing beyond\, into the realms of modern folk-rock and psych. \nA devoted guitarist since childhood\, Henry Parker’s musical roots go back to a self appointed upbringing in rock and heavy metal\, yet\, at the age of 20\, paths were taken that led him adrift. Soon enthralled by the ethereal playing of Bert Jansch and Nick Drake; finger-picking and open tunings rapidly became the essence of his sound. Coupled with a love for his immediate moorland surroundings of West Yorkshire\, we are presented with a strain of informed and progressive folk music found nowhere else. \nHaving spent the past 5 years playing headline concerts and supporting many of his musical heroes\, including Michael Chapman\, Wizz Jones and Bridget St John\, Henry Parker’s 2nd album ‘Lammas Fair’ brings him closer to the forefront of the progressive folk music world. \nHeralded by Prog Magazineand Folk Radioalike it is in this latest release that Parker has evolved a style that is distinctly his own\, a meeting between 60s and 70s folk music\, the northern moorland landscape and the heavy metal background of his childhood. \n“Original material and traditional songs create an immersive and mellifluous world in which both the peace and isolation of nature are unfurled evoked through subtle arrangements” -Lammas Fair review Prog Magazine \n“Focussing on the seasons is an eternal feature of English folk music and the tradition is well tended here.” -Lammas Fair albumreview Shindig! \n“Channellingthe ghosts of Jansch and Renbourn through his fingertips\, the fluid playing and emotive singing of Yorkshire-born Henry Parker evokes the spirit of the early-60’s folk revival as if it were yesterday.” -Silent Spring review RnR Magazine ★★★★★ \n“Precision guitar playing…effortless use of loop pedals\, nice to see an unsigned folk musician playing to such a high level” -Live review (supporting Lau) FATEA \n“A really excellent youngguitarist/ songwriter” -Steve Tilston \nWebsite: www.henryparkermusic.co.uk \nFacebook: facebook.com/henryparkermusicInstagram \nTwitter: @henryparkerbfd \nDez Allenby: A founder member of 1960’s underground folk group Forest\, Dez now performs solo and in Strawberry Moon. He performs songs he has written alongside those from the folk tradition. They are accompanied by arrangements using bouzouki\, concertina\, shruti box\, harmonicas\, kalimbas and pan drum.

SUMMARY:The Songbook Sessions
DESCRIPTION:An intimate night featuring four of the regions finest singer/songwriters on the same stage performing\, and explaining the inspirations behind\, their music. For the debut night at Wrecking Ball Arts Centre we are proud to have some well respected fixtures of the Hull music scene: \nLyn Acton \nHull’s first lady of soul & jazz and performing in various line ups for over 30 years\, Lyn is now best known for being the front lady and songwriter for Pearl’s Cab Ride. Not afraid to wear her heart on her sleeve\, Lyn’s songs will take you through her experiences of heartbreak through to the need to dance and enjoy life to it’s fullest. Lyn will be accompanied by John Shepherd (Pearl’s Cab Ride\, Cuba Drive\, Farino). \nMike Wright \nEasily\, one of the most gifted singer songwriters the City of Hull has ever produced. Promoting his first solo EP ‘Overland’\, Mike is well known through the area from his time fronting The Bonnitts\, Dephot and more recently 90’s indie-legends Kingmaker. Mike is a joy to behold live\, and acoustically is in the same bracket as Ray Lamontagne\, Damien Rice and James Vincent McMorrow. Not one to shout about his talent\, but once witnessed\, you’ll know you’ve just seen and heard something very special. \nEmma Fee \nSinger-songwriter Emma Fee has been performing in and around her hometown Hull for many years\, often with her band Happy Endings. More recently she has embarked on a solo project\, offering a 4 track EP in 2012 and a well received debut album “Too Busy Watching Invisible Things” in 2015. Her music has been described as being evocative and melodic\, drawing lyrical inspiration from everyday experiences. Influenced by everything from The Beatles to Bright Eyes\, Emma’s acoustic performances are honest\, sometimes melancholic\, sometimes upbeat and always heartfelt. \nBobby Joyce \nSince the late 90’s\, Bobby has been active on the Hull music scene as part of many different bands and live music nights. With influences drawn from Soul\, Blues. Indie Music and\, unashamedly\, Paul Weller\, Bobby’s songs deliver well crafted melodies alongside a powerful vocal. Most recently Bobby is known for being part of the live band in the show ‘Turn And Face The Strange’ which tells the story of Hull born\, global music icon Mick Ronson. \n

SUMMARY:Keith James - The Songs of Leonard Cohen at Wrecking Ball Arts Centre
DESCRIPTION:Keith James in concert: The Songs of Leonard Cohen \nWrecking Ball Arts Centre\nFriday 26th November\, 2021\nTime: 8pm (doors 7pm)\nTickets: £14 (includes booking fee) \nThese remarkable songs – stripped back to their bare honesty and courage. \n‘There is a crack in everything\, that’s how the light gets in’ – Cohen’s most memorable and visionary line from his song ANTHEM. If ever there was a sentence in modern poetry to reflect on and give hope and understanding to us all\, it is this line. This Concert begins with ANTHEM. \nEnigmatic\, mysterious and sub textural\, songwriter Leonard Cohen was an unflinching character\, with an exact sense of prose\, wry humour and the courage to wrestle with the unspoken\, forgiving human frailty with the stroke of each word. \n \nThe chilling announcement of Leonard’s death marked the end of an era. His music befriended an entire generation. Within every line of his writing\, he has been challenging us to listen more carefully\, speak more thoughtfully\, think more deeply and recognize our own fragility. Our World misses him very much. \nWith a lifetime reputation of performing in this exact way and an undying love of the ‘pure song’ Keith James gives you a concert of Cohen’s amazing material in the most intimate and sensitive way imaginable\, exposing the solitary inner strength of his greatest songs in their original perfect form. Keith has performed an extensive tour of this concert in Theatres and Arts Centres across the UK\, giving almost 500 concerts – close to 150\,000 people. This has proved to be one of the greatest honours in Keith James’ 40 year career. Keith lives in Powys\, Wales and sometimes in Andalusia\, Spain. \nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xnMR5Jn_RMw \nIncluded in the concert are Cohen’s well-known songs: Famous Blue Raincoat\, Sisters of Mercy\, Suzanne\, and Hallelujah alongside his rarer and profound writing such as Who by Fire\, Joan of Arc and Secret Life. Also included are songs from his posthumous album Thanks for the Dance such as What happens to the Heart and Keith’s dramatic performances based on the work of Federico Garcia Lorca – Cohen’s greatest influence. Keith has also transcribed into song one of Leonard’s poems from his collection ‘Book of longing’ written whilst on retreat during the 1990s. \n‘Some of the most atmospheric and emotive music you will ever hear’  – The Independent
