Event information

A musical evening of quiet grace, autumnal beauty and avant-garde folk…

ADRIAN CROWLEY (+ guests) – www.myspace.com/adriancrowley
Remarkable Irish singer/songwriter over for his first headline show in London following magnificent appearances at this year’s Green Man & Homefires’ festival plus support slots with Adem, James Yorkston and Jose Gonzalez. Think Fence Records, Red House Painters and Nick Drake. More stark, more sparse but equally beautiful.

FROM LOSING TODAY:......" the most brooding moment of shadow filled pop this side of Black Heart Procession.”
FROM MISPLACED MUSIC:….” A Northern Country is a gorgeous album of heartbreak and loss. Gently resonating guitar and mournful cellos mix beautifully with Adrian's warm expressive voice bringing to mind the bleak autumnal melancholy of Red House Painters, Nick Drake with the folky edge of Alasdair Roberts and Will Oldham.”

THE DIAMOND FAMILY ARCHIVE – www.myspace.com/thediamondfamilyarchive
From Stolen Records diverse roster, The Diamond Family Archive are experimental yet always melodic, hinting at Lamb Chop in hushed vocal delivery backed by a beguiling mix of electronica and traditional instruments.
'Strange and tender songs built around layered loops of live guitar, lap steel and electronica. Leftfield, oddball and gorgeous, a beautiful and fragile noise and sublime lo-fi melancholia'- Stolen Recordings.

THE SLOW LIFE – www.myspace.com/theslowlife
Outstanding new outfit from former members of Geiger Counter, Rothko and Fourth Quartet. The Slow Life take Spirit of Eden as the starting point with soaring melodic vocals gliding above a backdrop of angular and intense, music.

GARETH S BROWN – www.myspace.com/garethsbrown
Listen to the remarkable Worms as a preview to a brilliant new record, “Iron Henry” out in November on Misplaced Music. Gareth is a former/current member of Hood and The Unpleasants.
Think Aphex Twin using glockenspiel in minor.

HOOD DJ SET – www.hoodmusic.net
At least one member of Hood will be around with what promises to be an eclectic DJ set
