Loop Ellington was born underground, while sat on a tube train, listening to Duke Ellington mp3’s. His big band were dropping sleazy brass riffs inducing life from the old chugging train. The screeching breaks and hissing doors defined a moment. A cultural memory resonated from the trans-continental express trains that Ellington’s band rode, to the cut up electronic laptop sound of today’s musical innovators.

Loop Ellington are based around 2 laptops, trumpet and a table full of electronics to produce an evolving pattern of sound and loops, always re-inventing itself. Their sound is improvised, never prearranged; every performance being based around the space and the audience which makes each performance unique. They are inspired by the Dukes ability to mess with the head as well as the feet, having crossed through experimental jazz clubs to the dance floor.

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS ABOUT WINTER ...

    "WINTER is the time for COMFORT,

    for GOOD FOOD and WARMTH,

    for the TOUCH of a friendly hand
     
    and for a TALK beside the fire:

    it is the TIME FOR HOME.”

    ~ Edith Sitwell

    ONE KIND WORD CAN WARM THREE WINTER MONTHS!

    Have a Laugh On Me Loop!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS FROM RODNEY DANGERFIELD ...

    > When I was born, the doctor said to my father, " I'm sorry, we did everything we could, but he still pulled thru".

    > I stuck my head out the window and got arrested for mooning.

    > I'm so ugly, my old man, he carries around the picture of the kid that came with the wallet.

    > I've stayed at some rough hotels - Boy what a hotel that was, why they stole my towel.

    > This morning when I put on my underwear I could hear the FRUIT-OF-THE-LOOM guys laughing at me.

    > My wife was so ugly that the last time I saw a mouth like that it had a hook in it.

    > One night I asked a cab driver to take me where the action is, he took me to my house.

    > My wife has to be the worst cook. I've got the only dog who begs for alka-seltzer.

    A DAY WITHOUT LAUGHTER IS A DAY WASTED!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    MY NEW CD "LOVE'S SWEET SONG" HAS JUST BEEN RELEASED AND IS AVAILABLE @ www.RichardHarrisLive.com

    Merry Christmas Loop!

     

    TODAY'S THOUGHT IS FROM "IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE" ...

    Potter, the banker, has given a speech to the Board of the Building and Loan, referring to the working people of Bedford Falls as a "DISCONTENTED LAZY RABBLE."

    George Bailey responds, defending his late father, Peter Bailey, and the working people whom he championed.

    "... he did help a few people get out of your slums, Mr. Potter. And what's wrong with that? ... You...you said...What'd you say just a minute ago?...They had to wait and save their money before they even ought to think of a decent home. Wait! Wait for what? Until their children grow up and leave them? Until they're so old and broken-down that they...Do you know how long it takes a working man to save five thousand dollars?

    Just remember this, Mr. Potter, that THIS RABBLE YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT ... THEY DO MOST OF THE WORKING AND PAYING AND LIVING AND DYING IN THIS COMMUNITY. Well, is it too much to have them work and pay and live and die in a couple of decent rooms and a bath? Anyway, my father didn't think so. PEOPLE WERE HUMAN BEINGS TO HIM, BUT TO YOU, A WARPED FRUSTRATED OLD MAN, THEY'RE CATTLE.  Well, in my book HE DIED A MUCH RICHER MAN THAN YOU'LL EVER BE!"

    ALWAYS REMEMBER, NO MAN IS A FAILURE WHO HAS FRIENDS!

    With LOVE, RESPECT, and PEACE my friend,

    Richard

    22 Ashwin Street, Dalston, London E8 3DL
    Tickets available at:

    BENJAMIN BRUNEL:
    Brunel attacks each song as a lavish mini-cabaret, archness kept in check by a touching gauche naivety: the result is too many laugh-out loud funny moments to mention. He also invents the rather nifty word “metrosexueloquence”. Fine and deliciously dandy." ***** Venue. 

    SEAMING TRIO:
    "Seaming's vocals soar & dip as they twist & turn, weaving their way
    around racing drum machines & over the edge heartbroken strings.  I can honestly say Seaming To is in a class of her own."  *****
    Dean Thatcher (DJ/producer)

    JACK SHIRT:
    "a fantastic collage of everything in the artist's head, all tumbling out and wired-up wrong. This is an album steeped in the experimentalism of Krautrock and really f*cked-up folksike, the sort of thing that would get a release in the mid-70s, leaving everyone completely confused, later to become something of a cult classic" Electric Roulette.
