CIRCULUS

‘British band Circulus have almost single handedly reinvented English Psychedelic Folk Rock for the 21st Century. This, their long awaited third album, brings you more of the bands Twisted Mushroom Pixie Rock. Circulus first made their mark on British music in 2005 with the release of The Lick on the Tip of an Envelope yet to be Sent which appeared in the top fifty albums of the year in Mojo, The Observer and NME. Circulus have heralded the recent acid folk craze - alongside other protagonists of the genre such as Espers and Tunng - yet their sound is totally unique coming across like a mixture of medieval English Folk, Fairport Convention and Ozric Tentacles! This new album takes the band into melodic pop territory with some beautiful multi-part harmonies alongside the usual bucolic mayhem!’              Richard Allen, Freak Emporium

‘This band just leave you wanting more, playing a wonderful mix of psychedelicised folk whilst hankering to a more pastoral time, but always feel uncomfortably bang up to date. The songs are a fantastic mix of heady summer jigs & ballads, sung with a crystal clear Englishness that can make you come over all unnecessary. This is prog/folk spot on in every way, and probably the only band around who use a Crumhorn, Cittern & Rausch pfiffer????......the audience is sent home happy. Seeking medieval inspiration is not in itself new – Gryphon and Amazing Blondel spring to mind – but Circulus marry this with vintage 70’s space-rock a la Hawkwind/Gong’.
Power to the Pixies!

 SYD ARTHUR


Syd Arthur are an exciting new band from the South East of the country, at the forefront of the young musical explorers whose unique sound has been making waves far beyond their native Canterbury. Their highly eclectic sound encompasses folk, world, psychedelic, jazz, prog and rock music, showcasing original song writing, inter-weaved with instrumental freak-outs.

UPCOMING GIG NEWS-
So, here is the  news you need to know...
the MARTIN CARTHY/OWL SERVICE gig is approaching sell out stage-the rest of the tickets will be on a first to pay up gets them basis-those who have reserved tickets already are obviously still in the front of the queue, but out of fairness to others, please pay for you tickets by THE END OF THE MONTH, or they will go back on sale. You can pay at the venue, or over the phone (01227 760801), or tickets can still be found at Canterbury indoor market, or from me, Jason, at Canterbury Wholefoods (01227 464623/07777 673738).
Now, onto the LEISURE SOCIETY GIG-support will be from the wonderful JON WOODE  http://www.myspace.com/jonwoode        -the gig will start at 2.00, with doors opening at 1.00pm-this unusual time is because it was the only slot to fit in with the Canterbury "Fringe" Festival..but I cant think of a better way of spending a lazy Sunday afternoon-oh, and there will be a special wine promo too...
We are also trying to rebook the  KIM THOMPSETT band again, for a special December gig, date will hopefully be announced soon.

The band are also on the same label, and share members with THE SONS OF NOEL AND ADRIAN who were so well received at the club earlier this year-this will be a rare opportunity to catch this rapidly upcoming band in a small venue.....

 In the words of the critics....

"Beautifully pastoral debut."
MOJO
****
"Wonderful"
Observer Music Monthly
****
"An autumnal mist of British Bank Holiday ennui surrounds Nick Hemming's literate meditations."
The Times
****
"Music to cuddle up to, music to clutch yourself to, music that is, as Jimmy Webb might say, necessary. This is a band that could well be the sound of 2009."
Maverick Magazine
****
"A lovingly crafted, tender folk record that will secure them as a named brand on the shelves of pop. The love affair begins."
Ragged Words
"Magical... shimmers with loveliness"
Word Magazine
"This is a record of extraordinary depth that stays with you long after the final notes have faded."
Notion
"Fragile, beautifully orchestrated and restrained."
The Guardian
"Unflinching clarity and a sense of longing...a uniquely British take on Americana; almost as if Scott Walker or Nick Drake had 'gone country', making music for coalminers rather than cowboys."
The Independent On Sunday
9/10
"As moving as Elbow, as stirring as The Delgados, it's wholly magical."
Teletext
8/10
"Genuinely beautiful... timeless."
Fact Magazine
"Album of the day : 24.03.09"
BBC 6 Music
"Album of the week : If it doesn't get a Mercury nomination then I'm a monkey's uncle"
Tuna The Day.com
"Album of the week : A perfect and timeless album of wintry romanticism that will warm your soul."
Rough Trade..
