BLACKHEATH HALLS VIDEO HIGHLIGHTS
The Blackheath Halls dates in April, May and June were a fabulous success and we'll definitely be back for more later this/early next year ! Over the coming weeks and months, we'll be featuring video highlights here.
The first of these is Ellen Miller performing "His Heart". Ellen hails from Warwickshire and is just 18, but is already building a reputation as a highly entertaining performer and songwriter with a maturity beyond her years. She has released a wonderful EP, "No Harbour", produced by ace producer Phil Harding (of Kylie, Liberty X, Boyzone fame).
The video was shot by Henry D.C. Williams, an excellent independent film maker from SE London who has taken a bit of a shine to the Icarus Club ! We're delighted that, when he's not working on documentaries, features and music vids, he comes and films the acts at the weekly shows at the Station Hotel as well as the ones he shot at Blackheath. For more of his work, go to his Youtube Channel, and his website, http://www.hdcw.co.uk.
Keep checking the blog section for video highlights of our weekly shows at the Station Hotel.
The Icarus Club is a place for high-quality, original songwriters and composers to perform their work in a conducive acoustic setting. It happens every Thursday at the Station Hotel in Hither Green, south-east London.
We exist solely to promote, encourage and generally enthuse about singer/songwriters and instrumentalists, providing them with a space for their music to be heard whether they be seasoned veterans trying out new material, newcomers just starting out, and all points in between ! Our shows consist of 5 or 6 acts each playing for around 25 minutes split into two halves of around 10-15 minutes each.
We'll be featuring/reviewing all the acts that appear at the Icarus on here - we won't judge as we leave it to you to make up your own mind, but we might pass the odd comment here and there ! Keep checking back regularly for updates to our featured songs section, reviews and news.
If you'd like to perform, or if you'd like to find out more, e-mail us at icarusclub@hotmail.co.uk.
