Hi Res Heart at The  Samuel Worth Chapel
HI RES HEART Charlotte Keeffe - trumpet and flugelhornMartin Archer - saxophonesMichael Bardon - double bassMartin Pyne - drums, percussion, vibraphone With Melanie Little dance Nick Shelton - video Hi Res Heart is an improvising jazz group where spaciousness and fire co-exist. Even when the music is at its most abstract, the spirit of the blues is never too far away. The horns are direct and melodic in an open ended flow which reacts to the moment, while the unusual percussion set up of drum set, hand percussion and vibraphone provides an ever changing textural and rhythmic counterpoint. For this performance at Sam Worth the group is joined by a solo dancer, and we will be taking full advantage of the interior of the chapel to project specially created video making the show a full scale multimedia performance. The chemistry is magical, the musicianship is second to none, and the interchange between all seeps in like fast blood as spectacular. Lee Henderson, BIG BEAUTIFUL NOISE Cherish these sounds, for their creators indeed make them sing. - Darren Bergstein, Downtown Music Gallery, New York A circus of sounds where even the riot is riotous fun, the ridiculous made into gravitas, improvisation turned into chamber music. Beauty on the edge of horizon. Steve Day, 2022 See more about the group at: https://hiresheart.org/ Listen to the album at: https://discusmusic.bandcamp.com/album/hi-res-heart-108cd-2021 SATURDAY 18TH OCTOBER 2025 Doors 7.00 PM Tickets 15 plus fees 16+ IDs will be checked Tickets for this event are non-refundable.

Their distinct vocal harmonies emerge from a rich sound world of soaring strings, the exuberant lyricism of the bass clarinet and sensitive percussion abound with groove. Delving into generations-old European traditions for inspiration, particularly the work of 12th century pioneering female composers, iyatraQuartet re-imagine songs and stories through their unique contemporary twist. Taking their name after the Hindi word for travel or pilgrimage, the band embraces this sense of journey through place and time in their music. Their debut album, This World Alone (2015), was praised by violinist Nigel Kennedy as beautiful full of space and truth. In 2019, iyatraQuartet were recipients of the inaugural Kennedy-Kolodziejski Award and PRS Foundations Open Fund. Released in lockdown, their 2nd album, Break the Dawn (2020), received critical international acclaim, including from Cerys Matthews, Folk Radio UK and Max Reinhardt. This concert is part of a tour for the release of iyatraQuartets 3rd album, Wild Green. Wild Green traces the cycle of the year celebrating the natural world in all its beauty and wildness. Many of the tracks were devised outdoors, encompassing stormy seas, the vivid greenness of late spring, a full strawberry moon, midsummer energy and a yuletide lullaby.

Joe Harvey-Whyte & Bobby Lee Last Ride  Album Launch And Brown Fang
JOE HARVEY-WHYTE & BOBBY LEE LAST RIDE Album Launch And Brown Fang A new project between ambient pedal steel explorer Joe Harvey-Whyte and psych-country guitarist Bobby Lee, Last Ride takes in Paris, Texas-esque dusty instrumentals, west coast canyon-rock, brit-folk pastoralism, kosmische choogle and new-age mellowness. The UK pair bonded over their broad church approach to cosmic country, where Eno and Arthur Russell stand shoulder to shoulder with Gram and JJ Cale. Individually, theyre both rare torch bearers of ambient americana on their side of the Atlantic. Released on Californias Curation Records (Beachwood Sparks, Triptides, Silver Synthetic), Last Ride features cover artwork by legendary airbrush artist Jeff Wack, and a guest appearance from Swimming Bell on Smoke Signals. First single Flatbed Alfalfa Run To Pueblo, Colorado, Fall 1972 opens with a phased guitar chug riding a loping groove, before a laid back Sneaky Pete-style fuzz-steel carries it off down the highway. Wispy cirrus clouds of Fender Rhodes hug the skyline, whilst the primordial drum machine marks every passing telegraph pole, like some motorik Marshall Tucker Band. Plainsong utilises a guitar previously owned by fellow British country rock lifer Iain Matthews, which was gifted to Joe after he backed up the former Fairport Convention/Matthews Southern Comfort legend on some live shows. The Babalon Working, named for early rocket scientist/occultist Jack Parsons Mojave Desert sex magick rituals, is the Joe Meek-produced surf/spaghetti western soundtrack you always dreamed of. Smoke Signals is equal parts Jefferson Airplane kozmic folk and Rhythm Ace-fuelled balearic headnodder. Joe is one of the UKs most in demand pedal steel guitar players, known for his session work with artists as diverse as Alabama 3, Billy Bragg and Susanne Sundfr, and his wildly experimental soundtrack/installation compositions which push the boundaries of the instrument. Bobby has released three critically acclaimed records via American Primitive stalwarts Tompkins Square Records, described as a word of mouth sensation amongst discerning heads by Mojo Magazine editor John Mulvey. They first met in 2017 when Bobby was moonlighting in Californian power-pop/country rock band Gospelbeach on their first UK tour and Joes previous band The Hanging Stars were supporting. Staying in touch ever since, theyve crossed paths at festivals and traded bargain bin zoners, western shirts and rural ambient recs. In 2023, the pair brought together the Cosmic Country Revue, also featuring fellow drum machine/twang addict Jeffrey Silverstein (Portland, OR) for two sold out UK tours and an increasingly mythic residency at Irelands Kilkenny Roots Fest. It was during the first installment of the CCR that the idea of this collaboration was worked up. Brown Fang are a Post Modern Electronic Music group from Nottingham, formed by John Thompson and Henry Claude AKA Never Ending Birthdays.. Specialising in soundscapes for neon wildernesses and lonely robots, Brown Fang provide a unique sense of minimalism and haunting melodies that result in both hypnotic live shows and recordings. With influences as broad as Gary Numan, The Blue Nile, Durruti Column, Kraftwerk, Spiritualized and Robert Fripp, both Thompson and Claude are acclaimed musicians in their own right. Thompson has performed with Bent, Attraktors, JIM, Crazy P, The Selecter, Nectarine No.9 & Idris Elba amongst others and Claude as Fang Jr. & as electric guitarist with Torn Sail & Davoli. Brown Fangs first album Sherwood Pines(NuNorthern Soul 2021) was described as a masterpiece capturing everything that is heavenly about music by Magazine60. Following recently remixes for Nottingham friends JIM and Torn Sail, theyve featured on Delia Recordings recent label sampler The Horizon Is On The Horizon winning praise from Chris Coco, Phil Cooper, and Colleen Cosmo Murphy Sunday June 1st.
