Hedge presents Timbreland Recordings

I Am Your Autopilot, Dan Haywood's New Hawks, The Winter Journey, Sally Murray

plus We Mythical Kings DJs
Friday 18th July 2008, 8pm
The Carlton Club, 113 Carlton Road, Whalley Range, Manchester M16 8BE

Not before time, Hedge welcomes the opportunity to present a special night curated by our good friends at the wonderful Timbreland label.

Timbreland is run by Pete, Helene and Raz from Starless and Bible Black and was responsible for the first release from Hedge favourite Nancy Elizabeth Cunliffe, Wheel Turning King (from back in the heady days when she was still using her full name!) - they have been involved with many of the artists who have played Hedge over the last two years or so, and continue to provide a home to some great new music from the North West.

I AM YOUR AUTOPILOT
The three main studio dudes Ben, Graeme and Jasper will be joined by an additional three players and added visuals to make their performance a one-off cosmic multi-dimensional mix of choral folk and Kraftwerk style mechanics.

DAN HAYWOOD’S NEW HAWKS
Dan Haywood is an intrepid ornithologist, songwriter and country guitarist based in Lancashire. His expressive voice is genuinely idiosyncratic and his band are all part of the New Hawks sound - guitars, drums, violin, cello, bongos and gongs. While there are elements of folk rock, this is no laid back excursion to rural life but an inconstant tempo of almost vaudevillian drama as the words draw us in and the volume swoops up, then down and then up again.

THE WINTER JOURNEY
The husband and wife duo of Anthony Braithwaite and Suzy Mangion (from Manchester band George). Expect some gorgeous acoustic music, perfect male-female harmonies, tap dancing, innocent vandalism and the odd tiff – all part of their entertaining live show. Their album will be freshly available on the night before going into the shops.

SALLY MURRAY
Sally is a solo singer and songwriter with an amazing voice that reminds us of an early Polly Harvey but with a guitar sound that has more in common with Bert Jansch. Her debut EP will be released just before the show.

SAT 28TH JUNE!!!
MINDTRAIN THIS MONTH PROUDLY PRESENTS...

BEHAR'S Inspiration comes from traditional Bosnian folk music (Sevdah) - often described as ‘The Balkan Blues’. Behar are a newly formed group in the North-West and aim to bring this amazing music to new audiences. their music is passionate, soulful and poetic with stories to tell through unusual rhythms and beautiful eastern harmonies.

imagine Broadcast scoring the BBC ghost stories for christmas and you may be somewhere close to the splendour of DAVID A JAYCOCK...

Gal Costa / Secos e Molhados / Os Mutantes source!

weather permitting we'll be having a barbecue early doors, CHEAP bevvies, tropicalia djs, nudie 70's czech flicks...all on your doorstep!! (if you live in west didsbury...)

The Art of Tea





Jun 3 2008 8:37 AM


THE FAMILY ELAN at the Art Of Tea, didsbury,tuesday 10th june.
dramatic, sensual, hypnotic & hauntingly beautiful devotional songs of autumn leaves and nights of fire and wine.

Elan derives much inspiration from devotional and folk music traditions. The tanbur playing of the Kurdish Sufi mystic Ostad Elahi and Âshyq songs of the Azerbaijani sâz master Edalat Nasibov spring immediately to mind, alongside the rawer, more percussive sounds of the Yayla musicians of the Eastern Black Sea region – who fashion reed instruments from young pine saplings - like Hasan Yïldïrïm (who plays the violin like a drum) and Hayri Dev. The music of the Rebetes of early twentieth century Greece is an obvious benchmark, alongside more recent European folk revivalists like the Hungarian band Muzsikás. Other signposts might include the bouzouki inventions of Anne Briggs and the musical tapestries of the Incredible String Band. There is also a ‘pop’ sensibility lurking in there somewhere, though it is nigh on impossible to pin down in the conventional sense.

The Family Elan is Chris Hladowski - bouzouki, vocals, guitar, baglamas, fiddle, gimbri, clarinet, thigh slapping, and an unknown Chinese Lute – and Hanna Tuulikki - metal flute, wooden flute, wooden recorder, plastic recorder, voice. Both players have been involved in critical groups such as A Hawk And A Hacksaw, Scatter, Nalle and One Ensemble, they release their debut album on Chicago’s Locust Records in late 2007.

This is an unmissable show! After the rave reviews of Sam Amidon's last show in Manchester, where, in league with Red Deer Club, we arranged for Sam to play at the Unitarian Chapel with a string quartet, we couldn't wait for the opportunity to bring him back. Since that time, his album All is Well has been critically lauded and the media have finally caught on to the New Yorker's immense talent.


Incredibly, the opportunity that has arisen includes a touring party from Sam's Icelandic label, Bedroom Community. Sam will be performing with a six-piece band, including legendary producer and Bedroom Community chief, Valgeir Sigurðsson.


And if that isn't enough for you, Valgeir will also be performing tracks from his own album, Ekvílibríum, a critically lauded masterpiece of electronica-laced folk.


To cap it all, the night will be kicked off by support from Manchester's own acoustic-electronica maestro, Denis Jones; having waited two years to play in this wonderful venue, he will be playing his fourth show here inside two months, after support for Jack Rose, Phosphorescent and Chris Corsano.
