Alien Left Hand -- What the critics say:

"At last a follow up to Janette Mason's sparkling debut as leader. Alien Left Hand ....was well worth the wait…” Production **** Performance**** -- BBC Music Magazine

“…an album fizzing with fresh ideas and delights, an exhilarating musical journey .. with brilliantly original writing and inspired playing…” -- Helen Mayhew

"Every track from the rhythmic ‘NY Cab Ride’ and restless ‘4 Wheel Drive’ to the brooding ‘Mae’s Song’ has a terrific hook but it’s the way Mason switches tempo and moods that makes ALH great fun.
"

Hello Alex! Hope you can make it to this:

Special offer for a special night...

Love Bowie's seminal albums Low and 'Heroes'? Then be excited, be very excited...

What: drummer Dylan Howe and The Subterraneans (feat. Portishead's Adrian Utley, Stranglers' Hugh Cornwell, sax star Gilad Atzmon,
the Solid Strings and a plethora of UK talent) perform a one-of reimagining of David Bowie's Low and 'Heroes' as part of the London Jazz Festival - and we want you to be there!

Where: Cargo, Shoreditch, London EC1

When: Sunday 25th November.

Plus, generous souls that we are, we have a special 'early bird' offer of £10 on advance tickets (instead of £12.50/£15 on the door on the night)

Email Joe.R@cantaloupegroup.co.uk - with your ticket requests - mentioning you're on the Dylan Howe mailing list and you'll get each ticket for £10. (Students £8 adv)

Don't miss this super-special night :)
