SUMMARY:Horse Loom / E.M. (Empress Maud)\, Gris Marguerite\, Matthew Hedley Stoppard
DESCRIPTION:Having had a 6 year hiatus\, The Unit Ama guitarist Steve Malley is taking tentative steps to playing solo again with Horse Loom. With incredible and intricate guitar playing and a deep\, warm voice\, Malley weaves dark folk tales hewn out of the coal face and lives blighted by struggle. With a mixture of traditional folk songs and some of his own doing\, his playing is described as ‘beautiful\, stark and heartfelt’\, and is a must for fans of Bert Jansch\, Davey Graham and John Fahey.\n‘Northumberland’s best kept secret’ The Wire\n‘Unique marriage between British folk music\, avant garde guitar-playing and punk rock spirit’ Supersonic Festival\n\nIntroducing Horse Loom is Matthew Hedley Stoppard with a selection of his own poems which focuses on ancestral hurt\, birds\, weeds and stones. His first collection – A Family behind Glass – (Valley press) was a Guardian readers’ Book of the Year. His poems have appeared in Butcher’s Dog\, Iota\, Magma\, and Shearsman\, and he has appeared on programs for BBC radio 3\, 4 and 6. His second collection of poetry – The Garland King – (Valley Press) explores the traditional customs and rituals of working /labouring classes.\n\nA reincarnation of Empress Maud\, E.M. is a solo project from Kathy Gray (Nape Neck/Gullet Obvs/Mia La Metta). Semi-improvised\, E.M will perform archaic incantations using percussive instruments and vocal chanting. Straddling the medieval and the futuristic\, E.M’s performance will engage you\, stimulate you and challenge you.\n\nMulti instrumentalisation and spliced sounds Gris Marguerite conjure an immersive and ominous experience featuring a malevolent triangular portal to the darkest depths. Utilising the big screen and a macabre and ambiguous sense of theatre\, Sarah Mc Watt (sound/physical horrors) and Wesley Loveday (film/editing) also use processed assorted woodwind\, a tuned bicycle wheel\, vocals and percussion\, smoke\, jelly\, foil\, feathers\, body parts and the grotesque to create a brooding and unsettling modern day gothic fairy tale. You might need a stiff drink after this!\n\nEntry £5 >>>£8>>>£10
