http://www.poguetraders.co.ukWith
support from RELIG
ORAN“Relig Oran mix the sounds of the African Kalimba, driving
percussion, fiddle and bouzouki with the traditional music of England, Ireland
and Brittany. With innovation and dynamics they give the music a contemporary
and exciting twist, while tipping their battered caps to the long journey from
the 60’s and 70’s psychedelic rock / acid folk... Yet at the same time Relig
Oran keep the spirit, drive and depth of the music. A respect for the tradition
is always at the very heart of Relig Oran’s music, and though there are some
exciting detours on the journey, the Relig Oran sound is always based on a deep
love of traditional European music. Relig Oran also has a website at
http:///www.religoran.co.uk
with loads more stuff.”
Hope to see you all there for that one, will be
great
fun....some real highs towards the end of last year,

UPCOMING GIGS AT ORANGE STREET-
WEDS 24TH FEBRUARY
EMILY PORTMAN
'From the first moment I heard Emily sing, I
knew that she was special. She is beautiful and charming, and with her love of
the tradition and her well-chosen songs, she graces the English folk scene.'
Shirley Collins
Emily Portman is a singer, writer and concertina player with a
passion for traditional narratives. Best known for her interpretations of
English folk ballads, Emily is one of the brightest young stars on the British
folk scene, having worked with Waterson:Carthy, Shirley Collins and making
regular appearances on BBC Radio 2 and Late Junction on Radio 3.
One time member of harmony
trio (and BBC folk-award nominees!) The Devil's Interval, Emily is now a member
of Rubus who were featured on fRoots playlist, and she has gained plaudits for
her duo with Lauren McCormick (recently appearing at Saddlers Wells, The
Roundhouse and The South Bank centre). She was also featured as a soloist on the
BBC's latest adaptation of 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles'.
Less well known are her
original compositions: these visceral visions of a darker, more brutal Albion,
have more in common with PJ Harvey than they do with many on the folk circuit,
and are shot through with hints of Alasdair Roberts, Tom Waits and Bjork. Even
before their official release Emily’s new songs are selling out venues in the
Northeast and swiftly creating a stir beyond the folk scene.
EMILY PORTMAN will be performing
with RACHAEL
NEWTON, harpist and singer with
Folk award nominees The Shee, and LUCY FARRELL, who will
soon be touring with The
Unthanks.
