THIS TIME
AT THE SOUTH MILL ARTS
Featuring
JO ASH and
LUKE JAMES WILLIAMS
|
Hello Acoustic Clubbers After our trip to the Belgian Brewer last time, we return to
the South Mill Arts Centre for a delightful Double Showcase Headline Evening
with 2 fantastic Headline Acts, both are brilliant and highly individual
songwriters and performers in their own right. It would be fair to say that
they are at opposite ends of the musical spectrum, but united by a common
thread – each has a unique and singular style and delivery. |

|
JO ASH is a phenomenon. It is official! Jo
writes beautiful music, often intricately combined as in the case of two
albums she released simultaneously a couple of years ago “Matinee” and “After
Dark”, but always with a central purpose and theme. Her music ranges from simple
melodies to complex and often intricate musical adventures on a grand scale.
Her keyboard work is, at times, reminiscent of those great Victorian Gothic
Classics but in the very next song revert to a simpler, melody laid almost
bare. Jo will be accompanied by her long term collaborator Mike
Wheatley who has just a natural ability to complete the music. |

LUKE JAMES WILLIAMS
falls into the classic genre of guitar playing singer/songwriter but with one
huge difference. Both his music and writing are a very high cut above the
normal. His most recent Album “Our Blood Is Red” is one of the standout
offerings that has been released over the past couple of years. Luke has been a regular visitor to the Club over the recent
years and both his song writing and performance have moved forward in leaps
and bounds in terms of the sheer quality and listenability. This has been
recognised by the music loving public by sharing their enthusiasm with
others. |
