   About Horses Brawl
The feisty and experimental duo Horses Brawl draw listeners into a world where driving folk rhythms collide with the high and low musical cultures of ancient Europe and beyond. Improvising around phrases and fragments of music drawn from over eight centuries they transform them into their own mesmerising and spellbinding compositions. Crossing many genres including folk, baroque, renaissance and contemporary music, Horses Brawl are equally at home playing at folk clubs, concerts and festivals. Performing with an open and engaging stage manner they invite you into their vibrant and exciting musical world. Horses Brawl formed in 2003 when Laura Cannell - Fiddle/Recorders/Crumhorn and Adrian Lever - Guitar, came together for a short tour in East Anglia. They have since performed widely throughout the UK at festivals and concerts with their cutting-edge take on early and traditional music, and have been broadcast live on BBC Radio 3’s Late Junction, The Early Music Show and In Tune. Horses Brawl were recently awarded a grant a by The Arts Council of England to support the development of their unique approach to traditional and early music. They released their third album WILD LAMENT in June 2009 receiving excellent reviews in The Times, Bright Young Folk, Early Music Today and many more. WILD LAMENT is now available on iTunes follow this link Wild Lament

New Boe Weaver single out today.... As always a double A Monster Maker - Wailing psychedelic guitar versus smoked-out keys... man versus monster... the big final battle that sees blood shed on the desk, the eyeball to eyeball... amped up, beefed up sonic attack sees the victor stood cold sweats. Blooded, victorious and damned. I Think You Two Should Leave - Funk, as imagined by Tortoise taking on The James Gang... white boy distorted funk meets gonzoid electronics, all shot in Super 8 with Bruce Lee. its up on itunes now so click the link below to grab yourself a copy! http://itunes.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewAlbum?id=320634214&s=143444

"The Hand are Bristol-based musicians Rachael Dadd & Wig Smith. Together they share a love of folk, blues and world music and play an exotic array of instruments including Kora, Banjo, Ukulele, and Harmonium. They are touring the UK with Japanese solo artist Ichi, who takes the notion of a one-man band to new limits – combining steel drum with ping-pong balls, tape-loops, trumpet and xylophone.

Support comes from Norwich-based musicians Sam James Hill and Tenderlion plus Buffet Style DJ's playing music from the psyche's deli..."
