"...a tentative sitar drone and plucked minimalism pick their respective paths across a yawning chasm of O'Malleyesque fug" PlanB magazine "...combines the best parts of the British folk-rock boom with a sense of occult psychedelia that's never overbearing" Uncut magazine "Icy female vocals and crystalline electric guitars thread through sinister traditional tunes, recalling Trees' 1970 classic 'On the Shore' and Fairport Convention's 'Liege & Lief'" Stewart Lee, Sunday Times "British spooky/avant folksters whose muse is slightly more medieval than post-modern, but recalls Black Mountain and Lightning Dust as well as Vashti Bunyan and Steeleye Span" Time Out "...we highly recommend checking out the finest “traditional folk” album we’ve heard all year" Foxy Digitalis "...the result sounds like a lost album of '70s UK folk ...female singers who have that quality to provoke a world of a cultivated sensitivity ...all tracks flow beautifully from one perfect mood to the next" Psyche Homestead "...pure genius" DJ Magazine "A deeply intoxicating and alluring listening spectacle."

REVIEWS OF SHARRON KRAUS
M.J. Fine, Philadelphia Citipaper: Best Local CDs of 2004 Recorded in her native Oxford, the second album from Fishtown transplant Sharron Kraus is a dark-folk gem. Listening to her high, clear voice cut through melodies woven from acoustic guitar, banjo and hurdy-gurdy, you may struggle to remember which late-'60s traditionalists beat her to the material. But with one small exception, these murder ballads and forest laments all come from Kraus' pen. Here's one folklore expert whose originals feel both authentic and alive. Thom Jurek, All Music Guide * * * * Byron Coley & Thurston Moore, Arthur Magazine Exquisite second album by this wonderful singer. She conjures up visions of Karen Dalton, Shirley Collins, Judy Dyble and even early Joni. Live she was fantastic too. Rough Trade The second album from Oxford's fabulous Sharron Kraus is a wonderful follow-up to the haunting debut 'Beautiful Twisted'. … this moves from traditional folk (in a Shirley Collins, Anne Briggs style) to her own songs and enchants all the way. An immaculate album from a major new singer. The Big Takeover With a voice like a younger Joan Baez, Sharron Kraus' second album begins with a hop and a skip up a "Gallow's Hill" and perhaps a murder between lovers. ... a delicate record that grows in depth with each listen. Play at night by yourself at your own risk. Simon Lewis, Ptolemaic Terrascope Like the dusty book of fairy tales that so enchanted me as a child this al

TWENTY ONE SEVEN PROMOTIONS PRESENT… ATTILA THE STOCKBROKER
LIVE @ ORANGE STREET MUSIC CLUB FRIDAY 16TH MAY 8.00PM FIVE POUNDS ON THE DOOR Sharp tongued, high energy, social surrealist rebel poet and songwriter. His themes are topical, his words hard-hitting, his politics unashamedly radical. Inspired by the spirit and the ‘Do It Yourself’ ethos of punk rock, and above all by The Clash and their overtly radical, political stance, he started as a punk bass player in 1977 and took the name Attila the Stockbroker in 1980, blagging spots for his poems and songs in between bands at punk gigs. He quickly got a couple of John Peel radio sessions, a deal with London independent label Cherry Red Records and before very long was on the cover of the UK music magazine ‘Melody Maker’. He hasn’t looked back since!
Attila has done about 100 gigs a year since 1982, over 2700 in total, visiting 19 countries, and has published 4 books of poems and over 20 LPs/CDs. In the UK and other English speaking countries he mainly performs solo poems and songs, in mainland Europe mostly with his band Barnstormer, which combines his hard hitting lyrics and what he calls ‘Renaissancecore’ – a melodic punk sound with added violin, mandola and recorders, somewhere between a 16th century peasant band and The Clash!
EAST KENT HUNT SABOTEURS PRESENT-a screening of the ANIMAL LIBERATION FRONT movie "BEHIND THE MASK", along with the new SEA SHEPHERD anti whaling direct action film...also, ALF activist KEITH MANN will present his book "FROM DUSK TIL DAWN".
