Sat 21st Club Ugly presents SOUTHERN TENANT FOLK UNION + The Epstein + The Zetland Players
This one is going to be epic. The mother of all all folk unions, and Britain's premier folk outfit, the Southern Tenant Folk Union play their first Club Ugly night in over a year and anyone who was there in January 2007 will know that these guys can really bring the house down. They are of course touring to promote the launch of their ungodly album 'Revivals, Rituals and Union Songs' which, though you ain't going to find it on Drowned in Sound, is one of those releases that makes a year memorable. These guys are true masters of their craft taking audiences from euphoric hights to trembling lows in a few short heartbeats. The Union are joined by a raucous bandwagon of melancholic minstrels by the name of The Epstein. Fresh from conquering the Germanic hordes these guys are better than they have ever been before and well worth catching at their prime. Finally no night would be complete without the ubiquitous Zetland Players and lead singer Tobias has promised that he's going to mix things up for this one so look forward to some of the Player's famous cover versions. A widely appreciated fixture on the left wing of the London folk scene, and Club Ugly nights, The Zetland Players pen classic rock and roll songs struck with a fervour that is nothing if not engaging. No Saturday night would be complete without Ugly Nephew Record's finest DJs, so expect the In Your Bass crew and Jack from Tuckshop Radio to keep asses grinding until the wee small hours.
Praise for the Southern Tenant Folk Union's new album 'Revivals, Rituals and Union Songs'...
The Epstein's new album 'Last of the Charanguistas' was recently Huw Stephen's album of the week on BBC Radio 1.
"The Zetland Players do something with music that other bands are finding harder and harder to do. They make you dream and move to the music." - Music-News.com |
