Event information
BACK AT CAFE#9!!!
Skutch Manos return to deliver a hypnotic clash of dynamic acoustic instrumental music that sounds like Rodrigo Y Gabriela covering Led Zeppelin, with Nick Drake on guitar, John Bonham on Cahon and Ozric Tentacles as a spiritual guide!
Led by incendiary classical guitar, accompanied by thunderous, solid cahon and double bass. Skutch Manos present a programme of well embellished compositions, which are melodic, pounding, playful, well journeyed and metamorphic, never resting and always ready with a surprise!
Skutch Manos are creating a buzz on the festival circuit, appearing at Beatherder and The Acoustic Festival of Britain and We Love Manchester festivals. The band have also performed at a number of venues across UK including Band on the Wall, Matt & Phred's, The Basement (York) and The Wardrobe (Leeds).
Percussionist Holly Prest, herself a leader in Brazilian drumming, complements the huge dynamic and emotive range of guitarist Arlen Connelly. The use of traditional Spanish / flamenco instrumentation, used with a British twist, creates an original and powerful 'wall of sound', whilst still creating a strong sense of melody and groove.
********************************************************
All way from Lisbon, Portugal comes Rita Braga. This charming and beautiful Ukulele queen with a voice of velvet plays a brilliant mishmash of sound. Combining Julee Cruise esque Lounge with a strange mix of folk ranging from Serbian, Hawaiian, and Appalachian Mountain music, Rita Braga’s sound is truly unique and refreshing
