With a programme of summer/autumn shows featuring EILEN JEWELL,
BOWERBIRDS, HAYES CARLL and
THE SADIES amongst others, we hardly need to tell you that we've
got some real quality coming to Brighton in the next few months. Things
are looking pretty nifty for the winter (Nocv/Dec) too - keep checking
back for news...
If you enjoyed our recent LAURA GIBSON show (spelllbinding is the word
that keeps coming to mind), do check out her interview and session on
the current Gilded Palace radio show (links to this and other stuff below).
Note: In the
absence of any official notice (that I can find) regarding the Shearwater
tour, I can only apologise. If you bought a ticket. You are welcome to
use it at the Caramel Jack show (same day/place: see below) and we'll
refund the £2 difference. If you choose not to attend that show,
you should contact your point of purchase for a full refund. Again, our
apologies: all of it beyond our control...

CARAMEL
JACK get the headline slot they deserve based (for starters) on their
stunning recent album, 1900. Reviewers have described it as "headspinning"
and "bewildering", and it's clear that the band felt they had
to surpass even the diversity of the acclaimed "Songs From Low Story".
Comparions seem almost futile, but inflences range from early REM to TOM
WAITS in full-on vaudeville mode, from a uber-eclectic THE BLUE NILE to
THE TRIFFIDS at their embittered, heartbreaking best.
Main support for this evening comes from PAUL HANDYSIDE. Regular listeners
to the Gilded Palace radio show will have heard some songs from Paul's
most recent album 2007's "Futures Dream"; if you haven't, you
are missing out on epic piano-led balladry to rank with the best. Even
being familiar with the quality of Paul's work with previous bands (Hurrah!
and Bronze) we were knocked sideways when we first heard it. Hopeful,
celebratory, the songs sound like hymns for the dispossessed, national
anthems for countries yet to be born.
Opener
JOE KIRBY until recently performed under the name JOEL MARSHALL. Don't
check that on myspace (you just did, didn't you...?) That's not him....
this is him:http://www.healthyconcerts.com/artists/Joel_Edwards/
Very promising, lyrically-sussed, nice tunes, we'd get in early if we
were you. Joe's on stage at 8:00pm

There was never any doubt that we would welcome back Eilen Jewel and her band for this their second visit of 2008. Their show in April was a true GPOS belter - and they received raving responses wherever they went in the UK. You may already have heard BOB HARRIS lose it when they visited his show, listen out for their session on MARK LAMMAR's show (recorded in April, but due to broadcast in August) and hear a (normally hard-to-impress) DJ respond like a kid given the keys to the sweet shop.
And, still talking of truly great Brighton bands, look no further than SALTER CANE. They have a new EP released around the time of this show, and you can probably pick up a copy at the show.
