John Murry – The Stars are God’s Bullet Holes – UK Tour Dates November 2021

29 October 2021Mark

John Murry was adopted at birth into the family of William Faulkner. Some have speculated that the Faulkner blood might also run in his veins, but that should be left for a Southern Gothic novel yet to be written (or perhaps re-written). Raised in Tupelo, Mississippi, in the shadow of Elvis, his undiagnosed autism led to troubles at an early age that led to prescribed medication, which led to un-prescribed medication, which led to being institutionalised for addiction and mental health issues at a too young age. Eventually, discarded onto the streets of Memphis, he found music, which became the one constant positive force in his life. Memphis led to San…

23 June 2021Mark

Church of Burn in collaboration with The Cockpit present: CoB's Festival of Money Most money events are as dull as dishwater. There's even one that's actually called 'The Boring Money Conference'. These events are usually sponsored by some corporation, accountancy firm or bank. And they're mostly for folks like venture capitalists, payment gurus, financial advisors and the movers and shakers in Fintech; all big earners who then get to set the agenda for the rest of us. CoB's Festival of Money is different. A whole lot different. If a normal money conference is like karaoke, ours is more Jimi Hendrix at Monterey. First up, there's the venue. The Cockpit is a legendary fringe theatre not a bland conference…

Review: Transglobal Underground: Walls Have Ears — as glorious as ever.

12 May 2020Mark

With swaggering reggae beats to modern Maghrebi, the near-original line-up reunites for a new studio album. Transglobal Underground were ahead of their time. Thirty years ago they rose from the ashes of the underrated indie band Furniture as a fusion of dance and world music, the furrow they have ploughed ever since. A revolving cast of characters have come and gone — the Egyptian-British singer Natacha Atlas, whose subsequent solo albums have ranged from Cairene strings to Arabic jazz; Nick Page, known in his TGU incarnation as Count Dubulah, who went on to Syriana, Xaos and most notably Dub Colossus; Johnny Kalsi of the Dhol Foundation and Imagined Village. TGU were…

Natacha Atlas – It’s A Man’s World – Music Video – From the album Strange Days (Whirlwind Recordings, 2019)

3 May 2020Mark

Natacha’s revisit of the much-loved classic “It’s A Man’s World” was prompted by a belief that its message is ever more poignant in the context of today’s world. For all the apparent progress made since this song was penned in 1966, there remains a huge disparity between society’s valuation of women vs men within the current socio-economic structure. Released on May 3 2020 in joint celebration of James Brown‘s birthday and women everywhere. Directed by Riffy Ahmed https://www.natachaatlasofficial.com https://www.whirlwindrecordings.com Natacha Atlas - Voice Alcyona Mick - Piano Andy Hamill - Double Bass Vasilis Sarikis - Percussion Samy Bishai, Emma Smith, Oli Langford, Stephen Hussey - Violin I JennyMay Logan, Gillon Cameron,…
