Music Mondays: April 22, 2024
Niteworks, Rachel Sermanni, Flo Perlin, Ben Walker, Mohan Evans, Frankie Archer, Jelephant, Public Service Broadcasting and Tide Lines feature in today's newsletter.
🎹 Niteworks bring out An Toll Dubh feat. Sian on Friday, in what has been billed as their final release as a band. They also announced a series of tour dates for their farewell year.
🗣Flo Perlin’s latest track Mother Tongue is out now, free to download with pre orders of their album Clay on VINYL (12”) and CD (4 Panel).
🎸Thursday May 9 sees Ben Walker playing at Sneaky Pete’s in Edinburgh. I’ve been hearing very good things about this artist, who has also earned an appearance at this year’s TRNSMT in Glasgow.
🎵 One of my favourites, Rachel Sermanni, has announced a first batch of tour dates with an extraordinary offer to play unusual places. She writes:
“Arms, ears and heart open to invites; if you know a strange, lovely, liminal place you’d like me to come sing then email [email protected] My thinking is that I want this year to be gentle, joyful & adventurous…baby and big girl friendly, family road trip vibes…will surely take you along for the ride (virtually speaking) Come if you can! Grateful ever grateful for this wild good fortune”
🎻 One to watch Frankie Archer’s genre shaking for of electrofolk is headed for Edinburgh Trad Fest on May 7 in Traverse 2 at 6.30pm.
🎸 Mohan Evans will be supporting the fabulous Elina for her sold out show in London. If you haven’t come across his music yet, its well worth pulling your headphones on and getting lost in his performances.
📣 Am really curious to learn more about Jelephant Folk Band who are playing at The Wee Red Bar in Edinburgh on Saturday.
🚀 It’s all systems go for a raft of gigs landing for Public Service Broadcasting including in Glasgow and Aberdeen.
🤩 And huge congratulations to Tide Lines for being inducted into the Barrowland Hall of Fame alongside the the likes of David Bowie, Iggy Pop, The Ramones, Paul Weller, Noel Gallagher, Simple Minds, Runrig and many more.
