About New Islington Festival 2008

New Islington Urban Folk Festival is back for 2008!

On Saturday September 6th New Islington will be turned into a playground for Urban Folk, in celebration of the heritage of the area and the brand new community thriving there.

We’ll be mixing up new urban and traditional folk artforms and getting creative in the park.

Here's the current line-up:

*****************************
Manchester's 1 Hit From 200 Years Ago... Remixed For 2008!

The Manchester Hornpipe originates from this very city and was the equivalent of a number one smash back hundreds of years ago.
For 2008 a brand new collaboration between folk music's The Boat Band and the stars of Unity Radio will be mixing beats with banjos to give the tune a 21 century flavour.

The Mekkits!	Dec 15 2009 1:01 AM Ahoy there! Check out our new EP The Inland Sea here - You can also listen and buy at www.theinlandsea.co.uk Enjoy xxx “A call to arms from the perilous waters of the Island. Kinfolk cower in their homes as wild squalls rage fury on us. A far cry from the glassy seas and towering swells from which we profited only a few days ago. Respite cruelly prized from our grasp, our hopes of reprieve in calmer seas lie tattered, at least for now. Scathed but not scarred, we persist through relentless gales and cloudbursts on the fringes of the ocean, passing the church in the bay where many a reveler and mourner has been left stranded at high tide. Through fortune and fortitude we reach the shore and are greeted by warm fires, zestful ales and hearty tales shared with our good friend, (sadly soon to depart us). For the storm has abated and the bow has settled. We wipe our blinkered eyes, ravaged and weary; the majestic scenes enveloped by the Island in a blind rage, ever imprinted in our minds”... The Inland Sea is inspired by the isle of Anglesey, a place that has always been close to The Mekkits’ hearts... It was recorded and produced at "Studio Los Mekkitos"... in Manchester, and will be followed next year with the ecclectic debut album! ..

Disco Urraca	Jan 22 2009 6:16 PM Los “10 made in México” del 2008 “El ClubCultura. com es una iniciativa de Fnac España, fue concebida como punto de encuentro en Internet de los autores más destacados de la cultura iberoamericana, y un escaparate de la literatura, el cine, la música, la fotografía y el humor gráfico más notables del ámbito internacional. Según un criterio basado en la trascendencia artística, la independencia de los caprichos comerciales, un especial énfasis en encontrar la virtud entre los autores clave de las diferentes expresiones artísticas y los nuevos talentos, y la diversidad cultural como estandarte”. Así lo cita la fuente. Este medio es uno de los más reconocidos en su campo a nivel internacional y en su evaluación de los mejores discos Anglo y en esta ocasión además propone a 10 producciones mexicanas como lo mejor del 2008 bajo. el título de “10 made in México” y de ellas me dá mucho gusto encontrar citadas a las siguientes dos Urraca / Alejandro Flores (Nosie Kontrol) A Alejandro Flores, sonero de cepa, lo conocemos por el trabajo que ha hecho junto a Café Tacuba. Jaranero y violinista, Flores lleva los sonidos de la huasteca morelense —su tierra natal—, de Veracruz y de la tierra caliente en las venas. Pero su acercamiento a estos trasciende lo convencional. En 18 tracks, Flores plantea en Urraca una de las renovaciones más logradas de la música tradicional mexicana, una donde los estilos ignoran sus señas de identidad con el fin de crear nuevos horizontes.

humble soul	May 14 2008 10:28 PM 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.
humble soul	Apr 30 2008 9:34 AM Aidan Smith and his Indulgent Friends play at The Art of Tea in Didsbury. A new album, Allotments, is due out soon and advance copies will be available at the show. Also playing are Brighton's The Miserable Rich, returning to Manchester just two weeks after their great show at Hedge for a more intimate set in this wonderful cafe. And this time they'll have vinyl copies of their debut single, Pisshead/Boat Song... The Art of Tea 47 Barlow Moor Road Didsbury M20 6TW

Selecter the Punisher	Oct 17 2007 3:48 PM The Legendary EDDIE BO (USA/NewOrleans) en concert exceptionnel a MARSEILLE au Cabaret Aléatoire le 20 OCTOBRE !!! Vous connaissez certainement Eddie Bo pour ses morceaux mixés sur le jouissif mix Brainfreeze de Dj Shadow et Cut Chemist ou plus récemment "Hook' n' sling" retenu sur la compilation Lifestyles de Laurent Garnier. Ce que l’on connait moins de cet homme, c’est son poids dans l'histoire de la musique populaire afro-américaine. Les protégés de keb Darge seront aussi de la party avec leur son puissant et groovy, THE NEW MASTERSOUNDS ne cessent depuis bientôt dix ans de faire des émules sur la scéne funk du monde entier. TOBIAS KIRMAYER (Dj Set - Tramp records / De) www.myspace.com/tobiaskirmayer SELECTER THE PUNISHER (Dj Set - Soul Cookers records - Piedenez Prod / Fr) www.myspace.com/selecterthepunisher BROTHER JUG and MISTER FLINT (Dj - Soul Cookers records / Fr) www.myspace.com/mrflint - www.soulcokers.com - wwwsaintpaul-souljazz.com
