   About The Garden City Project
..
From the kitchen of a small terraced house in the woody lanes of South Hackney village, a group of like minded individuals got together to form a musical collective in an attempt to play the kind of sounds that they wanted to hear. Moving on from these monthly kitchen jamborees, they have moved out of their village confines and are now haunting the concert halls and ale houses of this great smokey metropolis we call home. The Garden City Project have battled collective laziness, general inertia and the grind of our capitalist society to entertain their friends, themselves and other like minded individuals with a bitter sweet blend of folksy soul bossa nova psych. The past year has seen a grand number of performances and the establishment of a new monthly folk night and residency at MY AUTUMN ALMANAC at the Apple Tree public house in Mount Pleasant WC1; tired of waiting for promotors and the bovine taste of the powers that be, The GCP put on shows with bands they like for people they like, nothing more nothing less. "its like the good life ...applied to a band". !

Your music has got that certain something that makes you want to dance, smile and think.

Can't wait to see you play Folkatron in July!

Solid Earth and what? the folk present: beats, roots and leaves, an eight hour charity session of musical goodness at Manchester’s best pub in nearly the countryside: Jackson’s Boat in Sale Water Park. All proceeds to MSF in Darfur.
