The Waiting Room
Newsletter - Tuesday 20 May 2008
In this week's mail out:
- An incredible event this Sunday May 25th
- June's line up
- An invitation to a Slow Food banquet this Friday
This Bank Holiday Sunday Evening May 25th, from 7pm
The Waiting Room presents a stunning line up in the shape of
David Thomas Broughton, 7 Hertz, and Men Diamler
This is an amazing line up of shape-shifting, boundary warping alt. folk artistes. David Thomas Broughton layers and layers haunting refrains and harmonic strains of soulful folksong with his voice, guitar and sampler, 7 Hertz with who Broughton has previously recorded are a kind of punk chamber orchestra improvising around rehearsed themes and new ideas, and Men Diamler from a far flung corner of this isle, brings his own brand of woozy operatic folk sound to the mix.
You'd be a fool to miss it! The cover charge is a measly £6. Award winning food and splendid organic wines always available.
