Carpe Diem Presents Bad Brains Warm-up to the Leeds Fringe

A great night of female artists held at the Carpe Diem Hosted by Bad Brains as a Taster to the Leeds Fringe.
  the audience was Treated to a feast of  Explosive musical talent from a varied array of female musicians.

Opening this evenings event in fine style, Miranda Vs the Crock Who soon had the crowd whooping and cheering their handling of rock rythms. The group consists of Miranda Arieh (singer Song writer, lead guitar), Thom Mcgowan (drummer) and her brother Joe Arieh (guitar). From their performance you would not suspect that this group has only been together for just one year. This is a very busy month for Miranda who will be playing at various venues during the Leeds Fringe then onto the Limetree festival to play at the Acoustic tent.

During band change over the audience were entertained by burlesque performers, Gem de la Creme.

Next to hit the stage were Jesus and his Judgemental Father, an exiting group, consisting of Danny (peter Bikini) singing lead vocals, Liz (soup) playing  drums, Sof  on bass and  Donger on guitar. which was greeted warmley by the entheusiastic crowd who were soon jumping and dancing along to this heavy pulsating rock beat.





Yet another display of burlesque risque entertainment led us nicely into our headline act,



Monica and the Explosion.

Swedish performer, Monica Welander brought her talents to Leeds for the first time, accompanied by Paul Slack (formally of U.K. Subs) This duo have also been together for the past year.They give an extended performance which had the assembled fans of music crying out for more, thus rounding off the evening with cheers and whistles in appreciation of their rousing and electrifying performance.
The evening was admirably compared by Mick Shakhlevich, who made Yorkshire Gig Guide very welcome.

Crown of Lights, Heckmondwike rocked and jived for over nine hours...


Hi YorkshireGigGuide, Heckmondwike rocked and jived for over nine hours last Saturday in glorious sunshine as Green Park attracted the biggest crowd yet to the 9th Crown of Lights Free Music Festival. This year, for the first time, there were two stages so the organisers could fit in all nineteen bands and acoustic acts. Festival director and MC, Donal O'Driscoll, said, "It was literally non-stop music and everyone seemed to love how we were just switching stages as soon as an act had finished. It was exhausting for us but you could tell the crowd was loving it."
The event attracted many local families as the organisers make every effort to make the festivals child friendly. Co organiser Peter Earnshaw said, "We noticed a lot more families were staying for much longer this year. It always enhances the atmosphere when everyone can see how much the kids are enjoying themselves."
Due to a reduction in funding there will now be only one festival a year. However Donal was keen to stress, "If it wasn't for the financial support provided by Kirklees Council we wouldn't be able to put on any festival in Heckmondwike. I'm very grateful to them for the funding we've been assured for the next two years but we'd also love to have a sponsorship deal so everything isn't done on a shoestring."
A new season of music starts on 7th October at The Comrades Club on Regent St,the home of Crown of Lights. Visit www,crownoflights.org.uk or text 07533 466129 for more details.

All the best

Leeds Rocks at Milo

July saw a pre - Leeds Fringe event at Milo's hosted by Leeds Rocks in aid of People In Action. It certainly rocked to the sounds of Aron Boyer, Ally Jowett, Claire Cameron and a host of other local talent. The crowd enjoyed the gravelly voice of Aaron Boyer singer writer with syncopated rhythmic guitaring.
Ally Jowett Treated us to a melodious set of his own songs and covers. His influences are Leonard Cohen and Niel Young and he is a veteran of the music scene.
And looking as lovely as ever Claire Cameron played a solo set on the keyboard. Claire  gave an inspired performance vibrant and full of energy. Singing her own songs and covers Claire had the audience hushed and enthralled.
This event started early in the evening and was hosted by Hannah of Leeds Rocks in aid of People In Action an organization who support people with learning disabilities.

2011’s Hyde Park Unity Day will be shorter and more family-focussed than in recent years. We want everyone to have a peaceful day.

Unity Day is coming up soon, but as usual we can't publish the date online- trying to keep it small enough for the police to allow it again. If you could find room to publish any or all of the details below, we'd be very grateful.

HYDE PARK UNITY DAY finishes at 7pm this year
2011’s Hyde Park Unity Day will be shorter and more family-focussed than in recent years. We want everyone to have a peaceful day.
It’s 16 years since the community festival was set up in response to local riots and bad press. Since then the day has gone from strength to strength, becoming so popular that the organisers have decided to calm it down.
Every year a group of volunteers from Hyde Park and around get together to raise funds and plan the day, aiming to bring local residents together to celebrate all that the area has to offer- music, arts, food, dance, sport, info about groups, activities and local business. Just some of the new activities this year are hula hooping, netball, and Lishi (google it!)
This year it’s family time 12-3pm, with the volume turned down, activities for all ages, hopefully culminating in a parade. Then 3-7pm it’s party time- several sound systems will be offering local bands and DJs for your entertainment.
At 7pm the park event will finish, with afterparties elsewhere for people who want to carry on. The big one will be at the Uni- with live bands, DJs and the Iration Steppas.
Volunteers are still needed, especially stewards unitystewards@gmail.com  . Or go to www.unityday.org or email janeunityday@hotmail.co.uk if you want to get involved. Or come to a public meeting- every Wed from 1st June at Wrangthorn Church Hall 7.30pm. Unity Day is for everyone who wants to be involved.
The date is a closely kept secret to keep numbers down at the request of the police. LS6 locals know the date, but please KEEP IT OFF THE NET. This is a local community event.

This is a list of fundraisers, if you have room for any or all of them:
12 June- 20th July Break the World Record for longest Bunting- fb details here, also at CAKE on 25th June, and Mothership Tent on Unity Day.

9th July Riot Grrill alldayer @ Chemic 2pm-2am. With Woolf, Cows on Parade, Awesome Wells, Claire Mooney & more + Food. FREE in- donations please.

“MY YORKSHIRE ROAD” by EDUARDO NIEBLA
A stunning collection of pieces by Eduardo Niebla celebrating North Yorkshire’s landscape, culture & heritage

CONCERT PREMIERES
Sat 23rd July 2011  7.30pm             Holy Trinity Church, Kirkby Road, Ripon HG4 2EY  Tickets £12  - 01765 640338 & from Alan Matthews & Hays Travel Ripon
Sun 24th July 2011 3pm                  The Ryedale Festival Joan of Arc Hall Botton, near Whitby YO21 2BJ  Tickets: £12 - 01751 475777  www.ryedalefestival.co.uk

Eduardo Niebla, virtuoso flamenco jazz guitarist and composer, has come a long way from his birthplace in Tangiers and childhood in Girona Spain to reach North Yorkshire, his adopted home for the last 10 years.  And it is this incredible international life, as well as the very heartfelt quality of his compositions, that makes Eduardo’s new commission “MY YORKSHIRE ROAD”, a piece celebrating North Yorkshire’s landscape, culture and heritage, especially vibrant.

Included in the composition are a great line-up of musicians from Yorkshire and beyond:
·         Ripon City Brass Band
·         Men of Staithes (choir, formally known as the Staithes Fishermen’s Choir)
·         Rock Up and Sing! (choir based in Harrogate)
·         Bryony Griffith & Will Hampson (folk fiddle / vocals & melodeon)
·         Lyn Geddes (folk singer & guitarist)
·         as well as Eduardo Niebla (guitar & composition) and Carl Herring (guitar accompaniment) & Roberto Ares (drums / percussion)
·         Ian McMillan (Yorkshire poet & writer), who worked with Eduardo on a film at the Yorkshire Planetarium and a piece for the Ripon International Festival, is writing the lyrics
·         and the piece is being conducted by David Lancaster.

Eduardo wanted to include musicians who are traditionally associated with Yorkshire and to create new music directly inspired by its amazing landscape, its sea, its powerful elements and the lives of people within it: he’s been travelling from the tops of Twistleton Scar near Ingleton (see photo above) across the Dales and Moors to Staithes, recording and working with the musicians, whilst all the time making an inward and very personal journey:  “This is a wonderful occasion to bring musicians together from all over Yorkshire with so many talents to share some music and some wonderful lyrics by Ian McMillan and to celebrate the region.”

The result is a wonderfully alive musical celebration which will be premiered on Saturday 23rd July 2011, 7.30pm at Holy Trinity Church Ripon and on Sunday 24th July at The Ryedale Festival, 3pm Joan of Arc Hall Botton near Whitby.
The commission is generously supported by the Dales LEADER programme, Business Link Legacy Fund, Arts Council England, North Yorkshire County Council and Creative North Yorkshire.

ABOUT EDUARDO NIEBLA
This commission follows the launch of Eduardo’s 23rd album “MY GYPSY WALTZ” to acclaim at Celtic Connections Glasgow and the Queen Elizabeth Hall London earlier in the year, part of a distinguished recording and performing career over the last 4 decades which has seen Eduardo appear at the Tbilisi International Jazz Festival Georgia, the Jaipur Festival India, the Odessa Jazz Carnival Ukraine, the San Isidro Fiesta Madrid, the Olympic Games Greece, Glastonbury and the Brecon International Jazz Festival, as well as concert tours to South Africa, Jordan, Lebanon, Switzerland, Austria, Germany, Italy, Hungary, Spain & Ireland.
Since his move to Britain in 1978 Eduardo has collaborated with major artists across the globe including Nishat Khan (sitar), Wajahat Khan (sarod), Adel Salameh (oud), Lol Coxhill (saxophone), Deepak Ram (bamboo flute), Paban Das Baul (gypsy singer & percussionist), George Michael, Craig David and recently Ben Watkins of Juno Reactor (composer of the music for the Matrix films).  He was introduced to recording by Tom Newman and has written music for films, documentaries and plays, including for the BBC, and composed music alongside poets Fran Landesman, Mike Horovitz and how more recently Ian McMillan.
Eduardo’s career started from very humble beginnings – born in Tangiers Morocco to Andalucian parents in 1955, the 7th of 11 children and mythically the 7th son of the 7th child.  In 1960 after political tensions the family became refugees and settled in Girona, Spain where Eduardo grew up.  At 18 he formed the cult symphonic rock band “Atila”, whose albums are now serious collectors’ items, and was rated alongside Paco de Lucia as one of the best guitarists in the Hispanic Peninsula.  In 1975 he moved to Paris, where he performed in several exhibitions of conceptual art with the painter Jaume Xifra. In 1978 he reached London, initially as a stepping stone to fly to America, but never left and has since been regarded as one of the outstanding guitarists of his generation.  He currently lives in North Yorkshire where he has his recording studio.
  • Eduardo is also currently working on a new commission by the Dante String Quartet:  a piece for guitar and string quartet which they will premiere at the Dante Festival Cornwall on 15th July 2011.
“A display of supernatural talent….and a spellbinding mixture of flamenco and modern jazz, bursting with passion & verve.” (The Spectator)
“Niebla proves his mastery & composing genius with every touch.” (Die Rheinpfalz)
“No recording can do full justice to the thunderstorm of this musician in full flow – deep booming chords interspersed with lightning percussive effects… his language is full of hot, dark, Mediterranean passion.”  (Scotsman)
“Eduardo – virtuoso?  Inventive improviser?  Yes and yes.  And creative composer too.  Writer of beautiful melodies, great grooves… he cast a deep engrossing spell over the audience which transported them to other places, to the distant past, to India, Arabia, North Africa, Spain – tracing the link between modern Flamenco and the ancient music of India.  And then on to the New World, to South and Central America for the rumba.  At the end of the concert he thanked the audience for having been present while the band “searched for those deep places in the music.”  Believe me they found them.  (Rodd Fogg, London Jazz 2010)
