Introducing the unstoppable Chris Campion on bass. The infamous Arthur Lager (aka Nick Comb from The Scientists, Gallon Drunk) on drums and percussion and, on lead guitar, the tenacious tunesmith Huck Whitney (Flaming Stars).

“Super fine and sassy singer fusing a Tarrantino-esque sense of cool with a vocal style that imbibes both Peggy Lee and Edith Piaf with touches of jazz and rock ‘n’ roll. Her fine band includes guitarist/songwriter/film director Huck Whitney.” Time Out, Dec. 2010

Always watchable this effortlessly stylish London outfit perform tracks from their excellent new album Kiss of  Fire.  Yes it’s the blues though not as we know it – a blend of early American blues, r n b, and French Chanson with gypsy elements.

Reviews

Florence Joelle’s wonderfully fractured and totally unaffected emotive voice speaks of experience and of a life lived to the full. Florence Joelle is a very welcome antidote to the bland and airbrushed female vocals that currently infect the airwaves.”

Ian Johnston. www.soundblab.com

 “It’s her voice that smacks you around the head. It’s utterly unique. […]  Her own compositions are drenched in the American blues, but always stay true to her own inimitable sound”.  Ruth Barnes, BBC 6 Music ‘Pick Of The Week’

“The future’s retro, as Vic 20 once said. Florence Joelle’s songs are reminiscent of 40′s blues with a ‘subconscious colonised by vintage American tunes and things that go bump in the night’. Yet the music is also curiously contemporary. Enjoy!”  Scaledown – Resonance fm (Jul 2010)

With dj Salome Jackson spinning 1940s/50s rhythm n blues, jump jive, boogie woogie, doo wop and more.

 Fine down-home blues, jivers & rhythm n blues and more is to be had from a  fantastic  musician with the zap, energy and incredible stage presance of the early rock n roll performers, Conrad Di Ianni is a natural, his exuberant show is definitely one you will not want to miss.

Reviews

Hijaz are a Belgium-based seven-piece jazz fusion group with a warm melodic and distinctly cosmopolitan sound.  They have been carving out a name for themselves on the continent since the launch of their first album three years ago, and this is the first chance for UK audiences to catch the group in concert here.

Their original sound, built around the ‘oud and the piano, is a heady mix of musical influences drawn from the Maghreb, the Middle East and Europe. It reflects the origins of the group itself – comprising musicians from Tunisia, Morocco, Armenia and around Europe.  Hijaz will feature tracks from their excellent new album ‘Chemsi’, which follows up the success of their first (2008) album, ‘Dunes’.  One critic has described the feel of Chemsi as “tender and spicy, ethereal and profound”.

“Manchester meets the Mississippi Delta” The Times

Their story starts over four years ago, at Salford University, where four of them were studying music. Singer and guitarist Jon Kenzie had been a music fanatic since the age of 10. Keyboardist Justin Shearn had picked up his father’s love of the blues from an early age. Bassist Andy Brown realised, by his mid 20s, that blues inspired him and turned, almost instinctively, to the double bass.   Drummer Chris Butler is so passionate about drumming it’s all he’s ever done.  Learning from one another, building the most solid of foundations, they decided they were missing one key component.

Enter Rome Mosabbir a gifted percussionist, who has travelled the world via music, when he joined Beggar Joe, the band was complete.  After a hectic 2009, Beggar Joe continues to grow organically.

They have built up quite a local following, performing regularly on the live circuit in Manchester and, from time to time, even busking on the streets.
