Laish is an old word meaning Dan. Laish is also the given name for Daniel Green and company’s musical outlet. Green is generally making himself useful amongst the Willkommen Collective, Brighton and London's alternative folk scene. He plays drums and sings with the progressive folk behemoth, Sons of Noel and Adrian, as well as occasionally lending his talents to Laura Marling, Alessi's Ark, The Leisure Society, The Climbers, Shoreline, OCDC, Curly Hair, Redwood Red, Rowan Coupland and Kopek.

When he's not being useful, he's writing and recording lyrically humble and deadpan songs that have an inventive fingerpicking style, a distinctive and honest vocal delivery and violins, melodica, bass and drums. Laish Quartet is the band that has sprung forth. Featuring Ben Gregory and Mike Miles from Curly Hair on rhythm section, violin by folk singer Jo Burke and vocals by Cathy Cardin from Sons of Noel and Adrian and Redwood Red.

An album has been completed with 10 songs and we are looking forward very much to releasing it on Willkommen Records later on in 2010.

******************************************************************

A few nice words from people with pens:

Best Live Band Seen This Week....electro-folk innovators....Daniel Green's sublime vocals...honest soulful and gimmick free (NME)

Pure people music for the soul...folk of the kind that raises heart rates and quickens pulses. (Source Magazine)

We're very much looking forward to it as well - glad you agreed to play, it'll be lovely to have you.

Just glanced at your available tour dates - you should contact our manager Lauren via lauren@jigsawhouse.co.uk, she can probably sort you with a Norwich date.

Willkommen Records,Willkommen Collective,Noiserv,Woodpecker Wooliams,Redwood Red,Coachwerks,Brighton

The first Willkommen Records event at Coachwerks in
Brighton. Located just off Lewes Road, on Hollingdean Terrace, this is
a beautifully converted industrial space and now an inspiring and
spacious venue (plus they have a very cheap bar!)


Noiserv is the name given for Portugeuse musical mastermind,
David Santos. Compared to Juana Molina, David Thomas Broughton and Jose
Gonzalez, he creates a hypnotising and emotionally engaging atmosphere,
looping the sounds of the room, xylophone, guitar, melodica, harmonica
and keyboards.


Woodpecker Wooliams is a charming one woman experimentalist. With an extraordinary
bag of tricks, employing vocals, kora, celtic harp, clarinet,
harmonium, glockenspiels and whistles, she conjures bewitching freeform
lo-fi chants and sings folk songs of mystery and secrecy.


Redwood Red is Cathy Cardin. She is the feminine touch to
Willkommen favourites Sons of Noel and Adrian and Laish Quartet. With
her grounded and pure vocal delivery, she interweaves a unique
fingerpicking guitar style with double bass and flute. This is a rare
live outing for Redwood Red and one not to be missed.

Nick Hemmings band THE LEISURE SOCIETY, famously nominated for an Ivor Novello award this year for their song "THE LAST OF THE MELTING SNOW",will be playing live in Canterbury as part of the CANTERBURY FESTIVAL. The band are also on the same label as, and share members with THE SONS OF NOEL AND ADRIAN who were so well recieved at the club earlier this year-this will be a rare oppurtunity to catch this rapidly upcoming band in a small venue.....

 In the words of the critics....

"Beautifully pastoral debut."
MOJO

"Wonderful"
Observer Music Monthly
****
"An autumnal mist of British Bank Holiday ennui surrounds Nick Hemming's literate meditations."
The Times
****
"Music to cuddle up to, music to clutch yourself to, music that is, as Jimmy Webb might say, necessary. This is a band that could well be the sound of 2009."
Maverick Magazine
****
"A lovingly crafted, tender folk record that will secure them as a named brand on the shelves of pop. The love affair begins."

Whalebone Polly is a duo made up of Kate Staples of This is the Kit and Rachael Dadd of The Hand and their music has much in common with those groups - rippling banjos, warm harmonies and odd percussive interludes.

Rozi Plain has played with Francois and the Atlas Mountains and has had records released by the Fence Collective. Her songs are sumptuous and charming.

Rowan Coupland amassed a mini-choir for his last Willkommen show at the Sanctuary - who knows what he’s got in store for us next?
