February 19, 2010

Go as far east as you can without leaving this isle, you will find the Southwold coast. A picturesque seaside town with a small beach hut where you’ll often find songwriter Matthew P and his makeshift recording studio.

Wojtek Godzisz headlines new night!

January 28, 2010

Artree music presents a brand new night showcasing the best in local and national acoustic talent – ‘Introducing…’

Coming off the back of successful acoustic events at various venues around Bracknell, Artree Music are the team behind the hugely successful Folking Live gigs, currently a fixture in the South Hill Park Arts Centre schedules.

Not bound by specific genre, ‘Introducing….’ has been put together to provide a real taste of what is going on around the acoustic scene in the UK, and also gives artists who wouldn’t usually play acoustically the chance to try out some of their material in a more stripped down format. 

The events are taking place in the picturesque Three Mariners Public House, in Bagshot Surrey. A traditional 16th century pub that oozes character and has a newly refurbished function room where the shows will be performed, as well as a host of guest ales. 

Artree Music is proud to present for the opening night: 

Wojtek Godzisz – “An astute alchemist. A hint of early Queen, a pinch of Arcade Fire…sweeping elegance. ‘Wojtek Godzisz’ casts an absorbing spell.” – Clash (Album Review)

 ”An impressively off-kilter haze of dense psychedelia, folk-tinged melodies and a genre-bending sense of adventure”

Luke Jackson – One of the brightest folk talents on the circuit. Strong song writing and blistering vocal delivery for someone so young. Has shared the stage with such legendary roots performers as Martyn Joseph and Julie Felix.  

Hand To Mouth – Mixing acoustic guitar with rap vocals, there aren’t many acts around who can say they are similar in style. Hand to Mouth have something to say and will stop you in your tracks and make you want to listen. 

Damien Flynn – Bold singer/songwriter with influences and comparisons to John Martyn, Rory Gallagher and Lee Hazelwood.

Artists

All Things Considered - Scarecrow
Artree Music’s first release is ‘Scarecrow’, the debut album from UK roots band All Things Considered. Recorded over a period of 8 months between July 2008 and March 2009, it comprises 10 tracks that have become firm favourites at their increasingly popular live shows. The songs on the album all have at their heart the bands earthy, ethereal vibe; however the use of varied rhythmic styles, soaring violin, intricate guitar and a haunting vocal bring out the wide musical influences the band have become renowned for.

Something very special indeed, and for a debut album is a fine piece of work. If they are as good live as they are recorded, it won’t be long before this band are making people on the folk scene talk

–Steve Gibbons, Folk and Roots

Talented young folk act

–Steve Lamacq, BBC Radio 2

Only £6.99 (+ £1 p&p)


Scarecrow is also available from Amazon and all good MP3 download stores.
