Daria Kulesh & Dariush Kanani

Ye Olde Rose and Crown Theatre Pub · London

An enchanting new collaboration between “one of the finest fingerstyle guitarists of his generation” Dariush Kanani and “the voice of fairytales” Daria Kulesh – an evening of pure escapism into the music of Anne Briggs, Sandy Denny, Bert Jansch, and other folk greats. Dariush “captures the spirit of the great players like Bert Jansch and John Renbourn and makes it his own” (Gordon Giltrap) while Daria is “one of the finest voices on the present folk scene” (Mike Harding), and has been compared to both Sandy Denny and Loreena McKennitt. Join two accomplished artists – with intriguing foreign roots and a deep love of British folk – on a stirring and hypnotic musical odyssey of rare beauty.

Hannah James and Toby Kuhn

Ye Olde Rose and Crown Theatre Pub · London

In a journey through sound, texture, emotion and rhythm, Hannah and Toby navigate the paths of growth, discovery, darkness and light, exploring the dialog of cello, voice, accordion and foot percussion in new and unexpected ways. Effortlessly blending, the pair play and dance through a series thoughtful tunes, soulful songs and joyful set-pieces in which Hannah’s vocal mastery is underpinned by Toby’s unorthodox delivery, weaving intricate layers of harmony and melody together to the beat and swish of percussive dance. Ever curious, always exploring their connection to the worlds around them, this duo offers an entirely novel, delicate, grounded and powerful performance.

Holly Golightly And Her Band

Leytonstone Social Club · London

Holly Golightly started her musical career as a founder member of all girl garage band Thee Headcoatees, a Billy Childish / Thee Headcoats splinter group in 1991. After four years as a Headcoatee she also found time to release a debut solo record, The Good Things, in 1995. Where the Headcoatees sound was a blend of girl group sounds and three-chord garage-rock with all the original songs coming from the pen of Billy Childish, Holly’s solo sound is more a blend of pre-rock electric blues, folk rock, and less frantic rock & roll. In addition to Holly’s original songs, she’s also covered a wide range of artists including Willie Dixon, Ike Turner, Lee Hazelwood, Wreckless Eric, and Bill Withers. She is one of the most interesting and diverse artists to come out of the Billy Childish school and is certainly one of the better singer/songwriters of the post-grunge era who seems to get better with every album. Over the years Holly has been guest vocalist on various other band projects, including live with Mudhoney, on a couple of Greenhornes releases, and on a couple of Rocket From The Crypt tracks including their hit single ‘Lipstick’. After relocating to USA in the early 2010s...
