SUMMARY:3 February: My Darling Clementine (see competition below)
DESCRIPTION:A labour of love on multiple levels\, My Darling Clementine – the sobriquet of spouses Michael Weston King and Lou Dalgleish – began as a homage to classic country duets of the 60’s and 70’s á la George & Tammy and Johnny & June. Their latest album is called “Country Darkness” – a collaboration with keyboard genius Steve Nieve (The Attractions / The Imposters)\, which sees them reinterpreting the country songs of Elvis Costello.  \nReleased in November 2020 it charted in both the UK and European Americana charts receiving unanimous praise along the way \nDuring the past 9 years they have played over 800 shows around the world\,  won numerous awards and have more than earned their own bona fides\, with their wry yet heart-on-sleeve song-craft spotlighting the vagaries of romance and the human condition\,  and their match-made-in-heaven harmonies \n “King and Dalgleish have earned their place in the role call of great country duettists” – UNCUT  \n “MDC mix country gloom with excellent musicianship and very fine songs.” The Guardian \n “King and Dalgleish have re-invented the country duet” – The mingling of these two voices is just heavenly”  Mojo \n “One of the most exquisitely pained country albums of the year comes from England” New York Daily News \nTheir career started with the 2011 debut “How Do You Plead?”\, produced by Neil Brockbank (Nick Lowe)and featuring some of London’s finest musicians from the 70’s pub rock era. \nReleased in 2011\, it was immediately acclaimed on both sides of the Atlantic. Country Music People called it; “The greatest British country record ever made” \nSuch praise led to a US record deal and invitations to appear at the Americana Music Association in Nashville and SXSW in Austin in 2013 \nThe follow-up\, “The Reconciliation\,” produced by Colin Elliot (Richard Hawley) and featuring guest appearances from Kinky Freidman and The Brodsky Quartet only enhanced the bands growing reputation and received a similar critical response with the New York Daily News choosing it as ‘album of the month’ while Popmatters put it in their Top 10 Country Albums of 2013. \nTheir next move was a slight departure as they the collaborated with best selling crime writer\, and avowed country music fan\, Mark Billingham on the story and song project The Other Half. \nBillingham wrote a dark\, nourish tale of murder\, lust and revenge around eight of King & Dalgleish songs. The Other Half became an album\, an audio book\, and a stage show and featured contributions from actor David Morrisey and singer songwriter Graham Parker \nAfter 18 months of touring The Other Half\, including a run at The Edinburgh Festival  Michael and Lou returned to the studio for album no. 4. \nRe-uniting with producer Neil Brockbank\,  Still Testifying was released in the summer 2017. Stylistically\, it was a further shifting away from classic country to embrace gospel and country soul and was widely acclaimed with many writers praising the new direction; \n“Where gospel\, country and Southern soul happily collide. It’s terrific.” UnCut\,   ‘this more Delaney & Bonnie than George & Tammy’ Record Collector     \nListen to them here: https://youtu.be/yFP6X5FKUw4?si=UdGxqSnPBK49MAO1 \nCOMPETITION – all advance ticket holders included in a draw to win one of two copies of the ‘How Do You Plead?’ album.

He is a wonderful guitar picker and has a lived in\, authentic vocal style\, having learnt first-hand from artists like Bill Munroe\, Doc Watson and Peter Rowan\, all of whom he has spent time with. \nGeorge Nixs is a flamboyant\, virtuoso lead guitar player and his playing lights up a lot of the material the band do. He used to do session work at Abbey Road Studios and counted Peter Green\, Eric Clapton and the Hollies among his musical friends. He played with future AC/DC frontman Brian Johnson\, in a band called Geordie in the 1970s. \nColin Boyd is well known locally as one of the best Bass players around and has a distinctive style all his own. In the past he has famously worked with the Kinks and Lou Reed! \nJeff Horsey played in Exeter based band Junkyard Angels and toured widely\, backing Louisiana Legend Tabby Thomas and playing alongside artists as diverse as Geno Washington\, Peter Green and even Screaming Lord Sutch. He gets to concentrate on his singing and Harmonica playing but also plays some Slide Guitar. \nTogether they perform funky versions of well-known blues covers\, lesser known songs you wished you had heard before and a few original numbers\, all blending into an exciting\, highly listenable gumbo with lots of harmony singing giving them a special edge. The music sweeps from almost Bluegrass acoustic numbers to full on Chicago style Blues\, touching base with Rock n’ Roll and even Skiffle on the way! \nLoud enough to dance to and quiet enough to listen! \n  \nListen to them here:https://youtu.be/W0Hayf5CZXc

They play a wide range of Jazz standards and lively Latin rhythms\, adding some of their own compositions into the mix – all guaranteed to put a smile on your face and get those toes tapping! They have performed at numerous venues throughout south east Cornwall\, including more recently the Old Library at Bodmin\, Polperro music festival and Looe Weekender festival\, gaining a loyal following as they go. \nBoth Helen and Judy are classically trained musicians and were Heads of Music at Looe Academy and Liskeard Community College respectively\, inspiring numerous generations of students to play music.  Having not seen each other for a while\, they met a few years ago when they had both decided to leave teaching and become freelance musicians. A chance meeting at a jazz gig ended up with them on stage together\, and an idea was born! \nAs well as playing double bass\, piano and flute\, Judy has built a reputation as a composer in a wide range of genres. Her orchestral piece ‘Eclipse’\, commissioned by the Plymouth Symphony Orchestra for the 1999 Total Eclipse\, will be performed again by the PSO at the Tavistock Festival in April. \nDuring the pandemic\,  Helen decided to pursue a long held dream of unravelling the mysteries of jazz.

After impressing the ladies with his astonishing guitar playing he was invited to join the quartet. \nBunny\, the rhythm man of the quartet\, is well known in these parts as an experienced drummer and percussionist\, playing in various ensembles in and around Cornwall \n  \nJethro Pooley – Guitar \nBunny Warren- Cajon/Percussion \nJudy Whitlock – Vocals/Double Bass \nHelen White – Vocals/Soprano Saxophone/Violin

SUMMARY:16 December: The Wilderness Yet - The Festive / Mid Winter Tour!
DESCRIPTION:Nationally acclaimed folk trio The Wilderness Yet have established a growing reputation for their detailed arrangements and flawless close–knit harmony singing. They are bringing their Festive / Mid Winter tour to the Old Chapel to cheer up our winter blues. \nThe trio combines the clear\, charismatic vocals of former BBC Young Folk Award finalist Rosie Hodgson with the fine\, sensitive fiddling of Rowan Piggott and the deft guitar and flute playing of Philippe Barnes. Independently\, they have earned audiences’ esteem as consummate musicians; together\, they weave an eclectic tapestry of traditional and original songs and tunes\, from a cappella three–part harmonies to luscious instrumentalarrangements. \nThe band’s eponymous debut album was released in 2020 to critical acclaim\, and was closely followed by John O Dreams\, an EP of commissioned covers. Their latest studio album\, What Holds The World Together\, was released in July 2022\, with airplay on BBC Radio 2\, 3 and 6 and an entry in the Official Folk Albums Chart Top 40. \nLockdown saw the trio record Turn The Year Round\, a seasonal album featuring winter songs\, wassails\, and secular rewrites of classic carols. The album has quickly become a favourite\, with the band playing live on BBC Radio 3 on Christmas Day. Now\, it’s time for their first festive tour\, so come and help them deck the halls as they continue the age–old tradition of singing together at the turn of the year. \n“Beautiful musicianship & singing” – Ruth Smith\, RTÉ Radio 1“Simply exquisite” – Tom Robinson\, BBC Radio 6 Music \nFor more information see : – \nthewildernessyet.comfacebook.com/thewildernessyettwitter.com/wildernessyetinstagram.com/thewildernessyethttps://www.youtube.com/@TheWildernessYet

SUMMARY:8 December: Dale Storr Christmas Show
DESCRIPTION:What better way to kick-off the festive season than welcoming back one of Calstock Arts’ favourites. Described as “the piano man’s piano man” and “a national treasure” (Jazz Journal magazine)\, Dale’s musical journey has brought him recognition as the UK’s leading exponent of New Orleans-style boogie woogie and blues piano. Get ready for an emotional rollercoaster ride of the music and tales of the great New Orleans piano players\, inter-laced with some familiar Christmassy tunes given the New Orleans ‘treatment’. \nInspired by his parents’ collection of early Rhythm n’ Blues and Rock n’ Roll records\, the evocative music of New Orleans quickly became a passion for the young pianist\, immersing himself in the styles of such luminaries as Dr. John\, James Booker\, Professor Longhair and Fats Domino. Later\, while studying piano in Sheffield\, he established himself as a highly sought-after pianist backing many top blues stars from the U.K. and America. “A very\, very fine piano player indeed.” (Paul Jones\, musician & Radio 2 presenter). \n“Incredible\, never seen anybody play like that\, only James Booker.” \n(British Blues Legend – Victor Box) \nSince going solo in 2008 and presenting his now acclaimed ‘Sounds of New Orleans’ show\, Dale has wowed audiences across the UK and Europe\, mostly recently at Ronnie Scott’s Jazz Club\, with intoxicating piano mastery and vocals\, as well as sharing his encyclopaedic knowledge of the ‘Crescent City’.  Dale draws in the audience with the rich history behind the music\, telling the often risqué stories of his beloved piano heroes. \n“If there is a better New Orleans-style pianist in the UK than the outrageously talented Dale Storr\, please point me in his or her direction because he or she must be very\, very special.” (Blues In Britain) \nHaven’t heard Dale play before? https://youtu.be/OW3st6887m0

SUMMARY:30 November: Guy Singh-Watson (Riverford) @ 1930
DESCRIPTION:Self-confessed veg nerd\, Guy Singh-Watson has over the last 30 years taken Riverford from one man and a wheelbarrow delivering homegrown organic veg to friends\, to a national veg box scheme delivering to around 50\,000 customers a week. Guy will talk to us about ‘35 Years of Trying to be Useful – whatever that means for a farmer\, cook and parent in 2023” \nGuy is an inspirational\, passionate\, opinionated and admired figure in the world of organic farming\, who still spends more time in the fields than in the boardroom. Twice awarded BBC Radio 4 Farmer of the Year\, Guy is passionate about sharing with others the organic farming and business knowledge he has accumulated over the last three decades. His video rants have provided a powerful platform to do this\, with a video on pesticides going viral on Facebook to reach 5.6 million views and 91\,000 shares. His weekly veg box newsletters connect customers to the farm with refreshingly honest accounts of the trials and tribulations of producing organic food\, and the occasional rant about farming\, ethical and business issues he feels strongly about. \nGuy has always believed that organic food should not be elitist\, but accessible for everyone. He has built Riverford to give a fair deal to all – growers\, staff\, customers and the planet. All of this was recognised in 2015 when Riverford veg boxes were awarded Ethical Product of the Decade at the Observer Ethical Awards \n

SUMMARY:24 November: Angeline Morrison with support from Kezia Warwood
DESCRIPTION:Angeline Morrison is a singer\, multi-instrumentalist and songwriter who explores traditional song with a deep love\, respect and curiosity. She is supported by Kezia Warwood. \nAngeline mostly makes music in the genres of wyrd folk and psych folk\, her work infused with elements of soul music\, literature\, ‘60s beat pop sounds\, folklore\, myth and the supernatural. In July 2022\, Angeline was announced as the fourth winner of the prestigious Christian Raphael Prize at Cambridge Folk Festival\, which generously supports the development of emerging talent in the folk genre. \nThe Sorrow Songs: Folk Songs of Black British Experience (released October 2022\, Topic Records) is a work of re-storying. The historic Black presence in the UK dates back to at least Roman times\, yet is often hidden\, forgotten or unacknowledged. \nThe populations of enslaved African people and their descendants in the USA have their bodies of folk song\, which are vitally important for containing histories\, expressing feelings\, giving voice and claiming presence… but the Black ancestors of the UK have no equivalent body of song. The Sorrow Songs begins to address this. \nIt is a gift to the forgotten Black ancestors of these islands\, and to the folk community here today. The album uses history and imagination to tell stories of UK Black ancestors in the sonic style of UK traditional and folk music \nAngeline’s debut for Topic Records\, it has been described as “a gift and landmark folk album\,” by Folkradio.co.uk. \n“Angeline Morrison paves the way and offers an authentic\, brave folk voice of black British experience. In doing so\, she presents us with a collection of songs that feel incredibly overdue. Long may they be sung out and loud.” – Tradfolk.co \nWatch her performance on Later with Jools Holland here: \nRead her Guardian interview here:

SUMMARY:9 November: Martin Rowson - Giving the Gift of Offence

SUMMARY:22 October WARD KNUTUR TOWNES
DESCRIPTION:Ward Knutur Townes found their sound when the world fell silent. In 2020\, these three singer-songwriters\, (Lucy Ward\, Svavar Knutur and Adyn Townes) were selected to take part in a virtual global music sharing experiment called Global Music Match. Teamed up together\, they spent several lockdowns turning their stories into soft harmonies and intricate melodies. This year\, they cashed in their stagnant travel points and recorded their debut album in Iceland. It will be released in October 2023 and accompanied by an extensive UK tour.  \nThe album is an evocative and seamless blend of these three critically acclaimed artists signature styles; it is heartfelt and powerful\, with songs that take in the breadth of the human condition. It is an album that masterfully explores love\, mystery\, folklore and longing\, each track united by having great story telling at its heart. \nOn stage\, the rapport between Ward Knutur Townes is effervescent. Each one of them is skilled in holding an audience alone\, so there is an utter magic to watching their joyful\, authentic camaraderie unfold. Audiences are welcomed as friends and leave a WKT show having laughed and cried; feeling truly uplifted by their epic stage presence and\, undoubtedly\, moved by their music. \nLucy Ward (Derbyshire\, UK) is an acclaimed singer-songwriter and powerhouse performer with a unique ability to inhabit the heart of each song she sings. A BBC Radio 2 Folk Award winner\, her songs are a mixture of evocative imagery\, quiet beauty\, passion\, protest and tradition all rolled into one. \nSvavar Knutur (Iceland) is a gentle but coarse and decadent troubadour. His roots lie in the eastern and northern fjords of Iceland\, known for their respective melancholic poetry and rugged gruffness. Knutur is a humorous storyteller and avid diver into the murky waters of the human condition\, always seeking a mixture of art\, philosophy and entertainment. \nAdyn Townes (New Brunswick\, Canada) is an award-winning alternative folk artist who uses self-deprecating banter and heartfelt lyrics to disarm any audience. A five times International Songwriting Competition finalist\, Townes’ unique voice and honest songwriting set the stage for a show that is high energy yet intimate\, beautiful yet clever. \n\n\n\n\nwardknuturtownes.com \n\n\n\nListen to them here

SUMMARY:21 October: Elizabeth-Jane Baldry
DESCRIPTION:“She is a great artist and consummate performer. She can draw more tone colours out of the instrument than any other harpist living in the world today.”  \n\nDavid Watkins\, Professor of Harp\, Guildhall School of Music\n\nElizabeth-Jane Baldry fell in love with the harp as a little girl whilst reading fairytales in which the harp possessed magical powers! She grew up to study at Exeter University and the Royal College of Music and has been a full-time professional musician for almost thirty years\, performing internationally. \nAs a recitalist\, she is well-known for her warm and approachable presentation style. The Bath Chronicle said of her: “It is hard to say just which was more pleasurable – the exquisite playing or the often deliciously outrageous stories of composers’ lives that Elizabeth Jane recounted in between the music.” \nShe is the only specialist silent movie harpist in the world\, playing live to cinema screenings of early film\, and has won multiple awards for her silent film accompaniments and compositions. Her uniquely rich tone on the harp has graced film and TV soundtracks screened in over thirty countries including America\, Canada\, Iceland\, Kenya\, Iran\, South Africa\, Poland and Cyprus. Her compositions have been used by ITV\, the BBC and by Irish\, Japanese\, Danish and Canadian film\, radio and television. \nA life-long lover of nature\, Elizabeth-Jane lives in the Dartmoor National Park where she is currently creating a little woodland theatre. She hopes it will become a magical place for people to gather together under the trees and share food\, friendship\, and art. \nListen to Elizabeth-Jane here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XgcPT3ZR2JM

SUMMARY:7 October: Leveret - a collaboration of ANDY CUTTING • SAM SWEENEY • ROB HARBRON
DESCRIPTION:Leveret is a unique collaboration between three of England’s finest folk musicians.  Andy Cutting (button accordion)\, Sam Sweeney (fiddle) and Rob Harbron (concertina) are each regarded as exceptional performers and masters of their instruments.  Together their performances combine consummate musicianship\, compelling delivery and captivating spontaneity. \nLeveret’s music is not arranged in the conventional sense and the trio rely on mutual trust and musical interaction to create new settings of their repertoire in the moment\, with no two performances alike. Their playing is relaxed and natural\, drawing audiences in and inviting them to share in music making that is truly spontaneous and yet deeply timeless. \nFiddler Sam Sweeney was the 2015 BBC Folk Awards Musician of the Year and the inaugural Artistic Director of the National Youth Folk Ensemble.  He is known for his work in Bellowhead and The Full English\, and his solo recordings including 2022’s Escape That. \nBox player Andy Cutting\, a three-time BBC Folk Awards Musician of the year\, is a compelling solo performer and works with Blowzabella\, Topette\, Anne Niepold\, and Roger Daltrey. \nConcertina wizard Rob Harbron leads the English Acoustic Collective Summer School\, released his own solo album Meanders in 2019\, and is known for his work with Emily Portman\, The Full English and Emma Reid. \nLeveret will celebrate 10 years on the road in 2023 with Forms\, a new album featuring new and traditional tunes played with the band’s trademark interaction and inventiveness.  Leveret’s music is firmly rooted in the English tradition but sounds fresh and new and over the years their intimate presentation style has charmed countless audiences\, helping the trio build a loyal following and demonstrating the enduring appeal and endless potential of the folk tune.  Listeners new and old can expect incredible musicianship and compelling presentation from a band at the top of their game. \n“What was remarkable was the delicacy and quality of their playing and the empathy between the three men\, watching each other intently as they progressed from repeated melody lines to subtle\, spontaneous variations. It was a magical set.” Robin Denselow\, The Guardian **** \n“This is all about the joy of playing and the intoxicating thrill of three masters of their craft … the empathy between them as the music ebbs and flows is exceptional; you can also see the smiles and winks between them. The feel-good warmth they generate is palpable.” Colin Irwin\, fROOTS \n“Classy players … their intuitive way with tunes is glorious” Mojo \n“You won’t find English folk music played better than this” R2 \n“Inspiringly good” fRoots \n“In folk music you need to hear the human. Leveret have got that trance-like thing – I’ve taken people to Leveret concerts who don’t necessarily have an interest in folk and they’ve totally got it.  There’s so much in those tunes and it takes real skill to see it and bring it out.  There’s a variation there between the three of them that goes on constantly.  Even if you don’t appreciate what traditional music is you can still be blown away by it…”  Verity Sharp [BBC Radio 3 Late Junction] \n“The intimacy and the intensity of this in the round experience was unlike anything I had heard all year. In folk\, it’s the sound of what’s to come” TheArtsDesk.com \n“Music of a rich\, sinewy immersion\, guided by a mutual sense of exploration\, space and a very English kind of swing.  It’s an intimate\, contemporary reinvention of the source material” The Guardian \n“This glimmering set of instrumentals cuts unfailingly elegant lines” The Sunday Times

DESCRIPTION:  \nAs part of a UK-wide tour\, we welcome back Dave Manington’s Riff Raff who last played here in 2018. Bassist and composer Dave Manington is one of the mainstays of the London contemporary music scene. He has played with many of the pre-eminent jazz musicians in the UK and Europe and with various ensembles from South America to the Balkans. In 2005 he co-founded the Loop Collective to pool creative resources with other like-minded musicians and is a founder member of the highly acclaimed Yazz Ahmed Quartet and Tori Freestone’s Solstice. In 2022 he was nominated for an Ivor Novello award for best jazz composition. \n“[the music] grooves like hell with some thick mercurial riffs\, full of stops\, starts and turns yet rocking in the grip of a savage momentum.” \nJAZZWISE \nDave Manington’s Riff Raff is his main ongoing project. This London-based super group is a dynamic ensemble of amongst the most creative musicians working in contemporary jazz\, featuring: softly surefooted vocalist Brigitte Beraha\, award-winning pianist Ivo Neame\,  the articulate Tomas Challenger on tenor\, John Scofield-like guitarist Rob Updegraff and cutting-edge  drummer Tim Giles. Their music is intimate and creative\, with a delicate interplay forged from many years performing together. Compositionally\, the music draws on a wide range of styles with traditional folk\, electronica and contemporary classical influences added to the mix with complex jazz harmonies and syncopated rhythms to create a soundscape that is quirky but engaging\, individualistic\, distinctly contemporary but always accessible. Several of their compositions feature lyrics from Brigitte\, while in others she sings wordless vocals\, often harmonizing with the sax line to great effect. \n“Riff Raff mix the leader’s clever composing with a formidable lineup\,…the soundscape embraces a 21st century sax-led cool school sound\, raw guitar-fusion\, diffident Wayne Shorteresque lyricism\, and vocals that showcase Beraha’s eloquent lyrics and inventiveness as a wordless improviser.”  \nThe Guardian \nListen to music from their critically acclaimed 3rd album ‘Deep Challenger’: \nhttps://davemanington.bandcamp.com/track/free-spirit \nhttps://youtu.be/tNo43ZKbCjA \n

SUMMARY:28 September: The Oil Machine (film)
DESCRIPTION:Continuing our series of environmental themed films and talks\, Calstock Arts is pleased to show the thought provoking The Oil Machine. The distributors have not charged for the film hence the free admission and the film will be followed by a discussion on the themes raised. \nOil has been an invisible machine at the core of our economy and society. It now faces an uncertain future as activists and investors demand change. Is this the end of oil? \nBy highlighting the complexities of how oil is embedded in our society – from high finance to cheap consumer goods – The Oil Machine brings together a wide range of voices from oil\, company\, executives\, economists\, young activists\, workers\, scientists\, and pension fund managers. It considers how this machine can be tamed\, dismantled\, or repurposed. \nWe have 5 to 10 years to control our oil addiction\, and yet the licensing of new oilfields continues in direct contradiction with the Paris climate agreement. This documentary looks at how the drama of global climate action is playing out in the fight over North Sea oil. \nOil companies are convinced that they can continue to keep drilling while keeping to Net Zero ambitions through adopting new technologies\, such as carbon capture But climate scientists are deeply sceptical of the Net Zero concept and the time it would take for these technologies to be effective. \nThe Oil Machine explores the complexities of transitioning away from oil and gas as a society and considers how quickly we can do it. \nDirected by Emma Davie\, produced by Sonja Henrici \nRating PG
