ELAINE PALMER Featuring JOE WILKINS

Claypath Delicatessen · Durham

Hailing from an isolated village up on the North Yorkshire Moors, ELAINE PALMER has spent much of her life travelling back and forth to family in Phoenix, Arizona. Growing up in an old Watermill, she immersed herself in music, writing songs influenced by her surroundings both in the UK and USA. Elaine finely honed her distinctive voice and built a reputation as much for her emotive, mesmerising stage presence as for her fusion of British folk and American country styles. Touring extensively, sharing stages with the likes of Patty Griffin, Lilly Hiatt and Seasick Steve, her two most recent releases Half Moon Rising and Some Seek Silver, Some Seek Gold have seen her working with musician and producer Mike Butler (Phoebe Bridgers, Norah Jones, The White Buffalo) at his Half Moon Lodge studio high in the San Diego hills. 'Palmer's powerful expressive voice stands comparison with Emmylou Harris.' - RnR Magazine 'Carefully constructed, strong on melody, her best work yet.' ***** AmericanaUK ‘With a beautifully conversational voice, an unerring sense of melody and a bittersweet and wistful repertoire, Elaine Palmer is undoubtedly a talent.’ **** MOJO Appearing with Elaine will be inte...

BUBAMARA

Claypath Delicatessen · Durham

It seems only right that after the rigours of the Covid age we should welcome live music back to Claypath Deli with one of Durham’s finest bands - the mighty BUBAMARA who are sure to give the evening a right kick up the Balkans with their unique blend of Sicilian skiffle, Cossack ska, and songs plucked from the hash houses of Greece. Bubamara is truly a high energy Mediterranean infused extravaganza - the brainchild of Ivor Pop: a songwriter and performer with an effervescent, internationalist approach to music. Inspired by Pop’s time spent living in a kibbutz and his travels across Europe, Bubamara’s music incorporates klezmer, Anatolian grooves and pre-pop folk music. Expect to have fun in this menagerie of folk-punk exotica. ‘Bubamara are a true event, after listening to them songs will not remain the same in your music imaginary’ - Slavoj Zizek
