Sound of the Sirens

Chapel Arts Centre · Bath

Sound of the Sirens are a singer-songwriting duo based in Exeter, Devon comprising of Abbe Martin & Hannah Wood. Honing their craft over the past decade, Martin & Wood have cemented themselves as firm favourites as “one of the UK’s finest folk acts” not only on the Westcountry scene, but nationally, and internationally too.

Jaz Delorean, travelling songwriter, pianist and voice of Tankus, loves to unravel the big stage performance and revisit how songs were originally sketched out, in the solitude of the riverboat he lives on, around a campfire or on a found piano in the recesses of a theatre somewhere on the road. His sound incapsulates a life of movement and obsession with mid-century music & literature, stride piano and balladic storytelling. For years, Delorean has gathered eccentric and captivating musicians and set out on the road to bring the original Tankus sound to countries across the world, playing in cities from New Orleans, to Tirana, and most places in between. A regular fixture at Glastonbury Festival, they have also appeared at Montreux Jazz Festival, Boomtown Fair, Stuttgart and Modena Jazz Open, and WOMAD, to name just a few.

The Kate Bush Song Book

Chapel Arts Centre · Bath

Since embarking on their musical journey back in 2012, Cloudbusting have been touring theatres and music venues across the UK and Europe, exploring the intricacies and nuance of Kate’s stunning albums. Along the way, many of those complex and at times powerful arrangements have demanded every ounce of musicality and virtuosity that the band could muster - but at more reflective moments, the true essence of Kate’s imaginative concepts have come to life with simply the voice and piano. It’s these jewels of the song-writing craft that the ‘Song Book’ ensemble now performs - with Matt Bowers at the piano and Dave Roberts on bass backing the hauntingly beautiful vocals of Mandy Watson. The Song Book repertoire features stunning arrangements of some lesser-known tracks as well as many of the hits - including Wuthering Heights, Babooshka, Hounds of Love and Cloudbusting. But it’s perhaps the clarity of those piano-based tracks such as This Woman’s Work, Moments of Pleasure and The Man with the Child in His Eyes that dazzle most with their sheer complexity and pure lyrical invention. ‘Mandy’s vocals were so good, I could have been listening to Kate herself!’ Preston Hey...

Kat Abel Band (formerly Alma Twist Band)

Chapel Arts Centre · Bath

Alma Twist make music that grooves first and hits the heart second. Their new collection of songs grew out of late-night jams, DIY home-studio moments, and a short but intense writing trip to the English countryside. It’s music shaped by real life, real friendship, and a lot of playing together. If you’re new to them: think the soulful warmth of Olivia Dean, the playful, poetic songwriting of Nectar Wood, and the colourful, harmony-rich world of Hiatus Kaiyote — but with their own twist. The new songs are joyous and groovy, with lyrics that stay honest about real-life struggles and the messy bits in between. At the centre is Kat, a powerhouse vocalist and writer who isn’t afraid to say something real. These songs dig into what it means to chase something you love, even when it’s messy, uncertain, or scary. They’ve been tested live on festival stages across the UK at Glastonbury, Boomtown, Secret Garden Party, Isle of Wight, so by the time they hit the studio, the tunes already had a story and a heartbeat. The new EP also reunites Kat with long-time collaborator Leo Nathan, fresh off his own headline tour. Their chemistry is the kind you can’t fake — they share a rhy...

Django Chutney Jazz Trio

Chapel Arts Centre · Bath

Brighton based gypsy-jazz trio Django Chutney have been blowing away audiences since October 2021. A chance meeting of great minds and kindred spirits led to an instantaneous connection and a first gig that went on for over 6 hours (and only finished because it was closing time) An infectious love of performing – whether its jazz, blues, folk or Black Sabbath – has helped propel this trio into a non-stop run of shows around the festivals, pubs and jazz clubs of the UK. Their combination of 3 part vocal harmonies, huge repertoire that draws from so many eras and genres of the 20th century, virtuosic guitar show-offery, and ridiculous sense of fun and musical adventure has helped them secure fans not only from the sometimes staid jazz-world, but from across the spectrum – all ages, and all musical tastes will find something to enjoy in Django Chutneys hugely entertaining and energetic performances. https://www.instagram.com/django.chutney https://www.youtube.com/@djangochutney https://www.facebook.com/djangochutneyband
