Event information

February 2010 will see the release of the much awaited Tursa/Kaparte compilation ‘With Friends Like These’, distributed by Cold Spring.
While the exact date of the release is still to be confirmed officially, we will be having a launch party on Sunday 7 February as part of the new program of Ship of Fools Club.
It will take place on our favourite boat on the Thames, Bar & Co, Temple Piers on Victoria Embankment, where there will be short live sets by some very special guests.

‘With Friends Like These’ is a double CD featuring 39 tracks by worldwide artists.

This compilation is a group effort produced to enhance the quality of the work of musicians who are linked together by a passion for experimenting with new sounds and exploring the boundaries across various genres.
Ranging from traditional and dark folk, electronica, ambient, neo-classical and post-punk, but first of all, beyond classification.

Tony Wakeford (Tursa) and Klarita Pandolfi (Kaparte Promotions) began their collaboration in March 2009 with the production of the successful live events of Ship of Fools Club, music on a boat on the Thames.
The idea of promoting bands and musicians outside the usual London ‘alternative’ and ‘recycled’ scene naturally extended with the concept of creating a product aimed to testify and push further what was already happening during the live events. Not all the acts featuring in this compilation are part of the Ship of Fools program, but most of them are and others will be in the future.

Partly because of the increasingly fractured and ‘dog eat dog’ nature of modern music, we have and hope to continue to bring together artists from different genres to work and help each other with regard to concerts, promotion and recording.

We are absolutely proud and consider ourselves very lucky to have ‘friends like these’.

The compilation CD will available at a special price for those attending the launch.

Live sets from:
Naevus, Tony Wakeford (Sol Invictus), Andrew King, Susan Matthews & Clutter, Will O’Connor (Vultures), Eva Eden
