SUMMARY:Jason McNiff £15 (BYOB)
DESCRIPTION:Born in Bradford\, following studying in Nottingham for his first degree\, where he developed an interest in the folk and blues guitar playing of the likes of Wizz Jones and Davey Graham; from 1995 Jason lived for some 20-odd years in London\, where\, as has been well-documented\, his finger-picking apprenticeship was honed thanks to regular exposure to Bert Jansch at Soho’s 12 Bar Club\, together with also undertaking support slots for the guitar maestro. Since moving to Hastings in 2019\, where he has established regular Friday Sundowner Sessions at The Jenny Lind pub\, he has continued to play live extensively\, including shows with ‘poetry in music’ paying homage to another of his significant influences\, Leonard Cohen. \nJason is described as Americana/Folk\, but he does something with the Americana side a lot of other artists would do well to follow; he doesn’t pretend he’s American.  He’s taken the style but moved it back across the pond. \n

SUMMARY:David Ian Roberts  & Henry Parker
DESCRIPTION:Henry Parker & David Ian Roberts – Chasing Light [2024]\nYorkshire and Cardiff based guitarists Henry Parker and David Ian Roberts met in 2019 when their respective folk-influenced albums ‘Silent Spring’ and ‘Travelling Bright’ were finding their way to new audiences via a series of co-headline tours across England and Wales. A shared appreciation of Nick Drake\, Ryley Walker\, Genesis and John Martyn naturally led the pair of musicians to sit down\, guitars in hand\, to improvise and compose during their free time on the road. The result of this collaboration is an album of all-original\, steel-string instrumentals which blur the lines between traditional folk\, psychedelia\, and progressive music\, bound by the beautiful simplicity of two acoustic guitars\, panned left [Roberts] and right [Parker] in the stereo field. \n‘Chasing Light’ was largely written and was entirely recorded in the Dales village of Malham\, North Yorkshire over the course of three weekend sessions in 2023. These intense periods of creativity produced eleven focussed compositions which reflect David’s long journeys north in the winter\, Chasing Light\, the limestone landscapes of rural Craven\, Wedber Wood\, and the nature themed artwork of the Pre-Raphaelite period\, The English Dreamers. The album was self-recorded\,over three long days\, utilising two microphones and requiring no overdubs; the energy of these freshly written songs being deservedly laid down in a pure\, simplistic form. \nWith Mark Radcliffe of the Radio 2 Folk Show calling Robert’s 2020 solo album ‘From The Harbour’ “a quiet masterpiece” and Prog Magazine describing Parker’s 2021 ‘Lammas Fair’ recordas “an immersive and mellifluous world” it is surely the case that ‘Chasing Light’ will capture the imaginations of folk and progressive music fans long into the future. \nHenry Parker & David Ian Roberts –\nInfluenced by the acoustic guitar artistry of the 1960’s and 70’s\, Henry Parker and David Ian Roberts play a style of folk-guitar music originally pioneered by artists such as Bert Jansch & John Renbourn and more recently Ryley Walker & Bill MacKay. Established singer-songwriters in their own right; the pair of musicians now present intricate instrumental duets from their highly anticipated debut album alongside original\, lyrical song-writing. \nHenry Parker –\n“Channelling the ghosts of Jansch and Renbourn through his fingertips\, the fluid playing and emotive singing of Yorkshire-born Henry Parker evokes the spirit of the early-60’s folk revival as ifit were yesterday.”RnR★★★★★“ \nOriginal material and traditional songs create an immersive and mellifluous world in which both the peace and isolation of nature are unfurled evoked through subtle arrangements” Prog Magazine \nDavid Ian Roberts –\n“A contemplative and understated classic already…I recommend this record to you unreservedly”. MARK RADCLIFFE – BBC Radio 2 \n“An intimate performance of astounding artistry. Lyrically his songs draw a line from Dylan Thomas to Elliott Smith\, with hypnotic melodies and guitar patterns that match even the legacies of a Nick Drake or Sufjan Stevens.” -RnR
