Weekly
News
Quiz Night // The Desert Turkeys // Pass The Cat
// Vlad Miller & Notes From The Underground
Good afternoon to you all! We bring news from the
revolving doors of The Lighthouse.
Now I wanted to give a little advance notice on a monster of a show
coming to the stage in two weeks. Its a ticketed one, so here are the
details ...
Diabel Cissokho (Full Band Show!)
Thursday 23rd April
Tickets ?9 in advance, available behind the bar
and online HERE.
(Tickets ?11 on the door, subject to availability)
Senegalese musician Diabel Cissokho is part of the great line of
Cissokho griots. Growing up in Dakar, surrounded by a rich musical
heritage and a family of musicians, Diabel began playing a number of
traditional instruments. However, Diabel's affinity with the kora was
clear from an early age.
Diabel's musical pedigree is exceptional. International tours with
his family's band Bannaya led to a long stint as Baaba Maal's kora
player, as well as with acclaimed musicians such as Kandia Kouyate,
Pee Wee Ellis, Nuru Kane, Daby Balde, Omar Pene and Abdou Diop. Now
well established in the UK, Diabel's virtuosic talent, his "resonant
voice and rocking kora style" (Songlines), have been welcomed
everywhere from WOMAD and Glastonbury to London's Barbican, where he
performed alongside Femi Kuti, Cheikh Lo and Manu Dibango.
Diabel's success with bluesman Ramon Goose cemented his reputation as
a versatile musician, able to effortlessly cross cultures. Their
album Mansana Blues was lauded as:
"a flavoursome
mix of slide guitar, mellow kora and undulating Mandinka rhythms"
(fRoots) which "delivers moments of steamy pleasure"
(Songlines).

This Saturday we host two events! Our 'Jazz & Pies'
afternoon session and the amazing Pass The Cat in the evening!
Saturday
11th April
Pass The Cat
Live music
from 8:30pm
FREE ENTRY
The collective continue to build on their reputation as a premier
groove band. The super solid rhythm section of Liam, Nana &
Colin underpins Steve's vocals and acoustic guitar, and the whole
thing is topped off with the delicious electric guitar work of
Richard Blasco. The music, mainly original material, but including
some carefully chosen covers, defies categorization, although the
band refer to it as "Rhythm Suction". Check it out for yourself and
see why.
Jazz & Pies
Pub open
from 12pm // Live music from 1pm
FREE ENTRY
Saturday welcomes back the monthly ?Jazz & Pies' afternoon
session, consisting of The Lighthouse house band featuring bass,
drums and keys. Horn players, singers and guitarists are welcome to
sit in with our resident rhythm section. This session has fast
become a popular date in The Lighthouse calendar. A pie meal plus a
pint of cask ale or small glass of house wine can be purchased for
?10.

Friday 10th April
The
Desert Turkeys
Pub open
from 5pm // Dolly from 8:30pm
FREE ENTRY
The band has gained a local following for their songs of love and
nocturnal intrigue. Imagine early Tom Waits compositions, which
forego the piano in favour of the six-string nylon acoustic guitar.
The trio's intentions are to deliver music that is spirited
and lyrical. Their playing is measured by a certain gritty,
restrained melancholy - the music aims for a dynamic that is filmic
and atmospheric.

Sunday 12th April
'Sunday
Service' feat. Vlad Miller & Notes From The
Underground
Pub open
from 12pm // Music from 4pm
FREE
ENTRY
Vlad
Miller & Notes From The Underground
They perform original compositions by the pianist Vladimir Miller
whose writing is largely stimulated by jazz, Eastern European and
Russian music traditions. Strong melodies weave into jazz
improvisation influenced by composers such as Igor Stavinsky, Steve
Reich and Paul Bley. Their live performances are engaging, exciting
and often unexpected.
Plus ?. We are pleased to
announce the inclusion of the Reggae Roast! Delicious
tastes of the Caribbean mixed with the traditional English roast dinner,
at an incredible price of ?7.50! Chef Tyrone will be serving you
from 12pm. Relax and eat while enjoying some reggae tunes at a
volume that is proven to aid digestion and stimulate taste buds.
This is to be a regular fixture as part of our
weekly ?Sunday Service'. Leave the cooking to Tyrone and join us
here!
Due to
popular demand, booking a table is very much recommended.
