Upset The Rhythm presents
NALLE
+ The One Ensemble
+ Aum Sahib
Doors 8.00
£6 via WeGotTickets
Two tight-knit ensembles from Britain's hidden folk heritage, a tradition that extends from Robert Wyatt to Current 93, Richard Youngs and Volcano The Bear. A flowering of the strange and the beautiful from two bands who play free and dig deep.
Nalle are a Glasgow-based three piece featuring Hanna Tuulikki (vocals, kantele, flutes), Aby Vulliamy (viola) and Chris Hladowski (bouzouki, clarinet). The sound is one blissed out, expansive drone, comparable to Tuulikki's Finnish compatriots Lau Nau or Islaja, but with a distinctly Anglo-Scottish twist. Spellbinding beauty and childlike wonder from a band who have toured with A Hawk and A Hacksaw and have a well-received album entitled 'By Chance Upon Waking' out on Pickled Egg Records.
The One Ensemble are in fact four - Daniel Padden (guitar and vocals ), Chris Hladowski (bouzouki), Peter Nicholson (cello) and Aby Vulliamy (viola). Daniel is one third of Volcano The Bear, while Chris and Aby are members of Nalle and Glaswegian jazz-folk big band Scatter. Fusing Eastern European traditions, classical chamber music, mystical minimalism and free jazz into a heady brew, their music is otherworldly, magical and unmistakably beautiful.
Aum Sahib - the exotic collective of London based improvisers recently returned from a tour of Morocco - are first on. Think Sun City Girls meets Sunburned Hand. |
