Dear Friends and New
Subscribers....
welcome to the two-magpie-thing-a-me-homa mailing
list!
We'd like to bring your attention to
a fine show tonight (Wednesday 27th January) at The Old Queen's Head.
We have performing Mundo Jazz who will be
extolling the pitfalls of environmental degradation and entertaining us
with musings on capitalism, consumerism and the dangers of indoor firework
displays. You'll just have to witness.
We've also added a last
minute act to the bill because she is that good and surely destined for
big things - Josephine (details below) - a young, soulful
and powerful singer with a real authentic voice - think Dionne Warwick or
Etta James.
Join us tonight for a great selection of "open mic"
floor spots, a host of young and emerging talents, and a headline show
from the inimitable Mundo Jazz - perfect January fair.
Other news: it's the gruelling folk
calender! Celtic
Connections Festival this weekend and then folk awards on Monday 1st.
We're then back with two great shows in the second week of February.... so
you'll not hear from us til then :)

"She's remarkable. An old soul singer in a
beautiful young girl" - Guy Garvey
(Elbow)
"Josephine is unlike any singer I've ever worked
with, her talent is in equal measure as high as the heavens and as deep as
the Mariana trench. It astounds me." - Ed Harcourt
Mundo
Jazz
What can one say about a band
whose songs convey the dangers of environmental degradation, the
importance of racial harmony and the inherent evils of capitalism with
subtlety and intelligence? One can say they are called Neil Young and
Crazy Horse. Mundo Jazz, however, preach peace, love and understanding
with all the subtlety of a brick hitting butter, through their
ridiculously catchy songs, awful dancing and thunderously crass
philosophizing.
