Thu 2nd Thursday 2 February musicOMH.com presents JOHN HOWARD + Eileen Rose + Richard Ings - Doors 7.30, £8.50 advance via WeGotTickets & Rough Trade [Covent Garden: 020 7240 0105 and Talbot Road: 020 7229 8541] Lancashire-born John Howard trained as a classical pianist from the age of seven. In 1975 he released an album called 'Kid in a Big World'. The release was featured in the book 'In Search of the Lost Record' some 30 years later, and amid internet buzz, the great lost album was found by RPM Records and re-released at the end of 2003. It received huge acclaim and five-star reviews. In short order the shelved 1970's follow-ups, 'Technicolour Biography' and 'Can You Hear Me OK'? were released. John's music career has been reignited 30 years on and completely new album - 'As I Was Saying' ? appears in January 2006. Acclaimed singer-songwriter Eileen Rose released her third album, 'Come The Storm', in 2005 on Banana Records. Eileen was born in Saugus, a tough suburb of Boston MA, and brought up in her close-knit Italian-Irish American family, the youngest of five sisters and three brothers. She studied criminal law but disappointed her parents by running away to England to become a rock star. Following a couple of false starts with bands, she got a solo career under way and hasn't looked back since. Her first album, 2000's Shine Like It Does (Rough Trade) was called "sensational" by the Sunday Times and "a gem" by The Guardian. The 2002 follow-up, Long Shot Novena (Rough Trade) was "a mighty, powerful work" according to Time Out. Opening the evening will be Richard Ings. RSS |
