Alternation Music is based in Cambridge, UK and run by James Alternation and DJ Kickwit. We used to run the infamous Alternation clubnight but this has now ended (our choice!) so that we can take a break from DJing and reclaim some missing weekends ;-).
We are promoting a few gigs around Cambridge to keep ourselves busy, the next gig is...
Alternation Music Presents Michael J Sheehy & The Hired Mourners @ The Portland Arms, Cambridge
Friday 11th May 2007
Tickets £5
Michael J Sheehy was the frontman with the exquisite Dream City Film Club who did 3 albums on Beggars Banquet before splitting, he then did 3 solo albums for Beggars before leaving a couple of years ago.
Now he is back, rejuvenated with an incredibly accomplished new album... some quotes about that..
"A work of commendable character and craft.. Michael J Sheehy taps into a
rich vein of emotional brutality". The Independent
"If Elvis and Nick Cave sired a composite offspring, Michael J Sheehy would be the result". The Guardian
Support comes from Mary Epworth & The Jubilee Band and Ellie Walker.
Mary Epworth has a strong Cambridge connection having sung with The Broken Family Band in the past and having performed many times in the City in her own right.
Ellie Walker is surely one of Cambridge's hottest talents, an amazing voice backed up with quality songs that are sure to become much bigger in the coming months.
