| Margate based artist JAKL’s songs tackle love and loss with oceans of layered vocals, echoed guitars and piano accompaniment. Born into a family of musicians, his influences range from John Martyn and Jeff Buckley to the music of his opera singing father.
He burst onto the scene as one of Glastonbury’s emerging talents in 2016, and his ethereal and emotionally-charged music lead to several sold-out headline shows. He has secured national radio airplay from Huw Stephens, Steve Lamacq and Jo Good (XFM), BBC Introducing and BBC 6 Music. After releasing ‘Shadows’ in 2017 and touring Europe with Air Traffic, he recorded a live set at Hackney’s Paper Dress Vintage released in in May 2018. His upcoming single ‘Wounds’ comes out this summer. |
A great night of music in prospect with the return of four musicians who play together with a rare empathy. Phil Smith will be on alto, Paul Cheneour on flutes, Tony Hudd on guitar and Maurizio Borgna on double bass. As if this weren’t enough, the mighty My Sax Society will be making a rare appearance!
billy blond is a South London boy who escaped to the blustery beaches of Margate, swapping the grit of the city streets for a prolonged dirty seaside weekender that is yet to end.
Poet and storyteller Nancy Charley presents The Gospel of Trickster, a new poem that forms the basis of a monologue created by Charley and theatre director Tamar Saphra. Charley’s audacious antihero, Trickster, is a ‘sorcerer of shit, shape-shifter, who can become lion, whale, snake, bone-sifter, shadow-filler, master of taunt and tease, who dares persuade an angel wrong is right.’ And so he slips into the gospel stories to cause a bit of disruption and mayhem.
The performance is accompanied by a new book from Hercules Editions, which features the poem in full, essays by Charley and cultural commentator Sophia Deboick, and specially-commissioned drawings from artist Alison Gill inspired by children’s Bibles, gaming culture and fairy tales. The images and poem together stress the sometimes dark, sometimes playful nature of this retelling of the Gospel story for modern times.
