An evening of inspirational guitar playing, dark grit and ethereal folk music.
The Horse Loom is the solo project of Unit Ama’s Steve Malley, beautiful, articulate guitar playing reminiscent of the 60’s folk revivalists such as Bert Jansch and Davey Graham but imbued with a legacy of New Wave and post-rock guitar bands, this coupled with Steve’s powerful, warm voice and boundless humanity creates a very special, unique magic. This is first time The Horse Loom has played in Brighton for 6 years. Do not miss this!
"Northumberland's best kept secret" The Wire.
“His voice is deep and warm, his guitar playing flows like mercury, the whole thing easily the equal of his influences. ” Lee Fisher, NARC magazine
Sairie, deceptively stripped-back, other-worldy and beautiful. Ghosts, fairies and tragic love. The Brighton three piece of Emma Morton, Jon Griffin and Andy Thomas cast magic spells upon the room, their sets are like a séance; an enchanted visit to the inside of a hollow hill.
“...acoustically expansive, drone-deepened, acid-folk nuggets”- Stewart Lee, Idler Magazine
“retains the English folk tradition nurtured by Anne Briggs and Shirley Collins.” The Wire
Linden Pomeroy, 6 string, 12 string and acoustic lap-steel, From parlour to porch and back again the brilliance of Linden’s playing conjures the ghosts from the Delta through to Fahey’s front stoop. This isn’t dead mimicry though, this is living, breathing spirit stuff. The breath of the old river.
"What links Pomeroy to the American Primitive ideas is the disregard for orthodoxy. Plenty of off tunings, slack drone notes, very idiosyncratic time-keeping, etc. ...these are arrangements bulbous with care and attention" Freq
