Our new track this week comes from Beija Flo, who returns with her new track Nude.
The Liverpool based artist is part of the Eggy Records label and has become widely known for her enthralling live sets which mix powerful prose with performance art.
“Life is a series of shifts. People visit. Some leave gifts behind. Some litter. Some decimate. The brain and the body has become a personal jungle; dangerous and eerie at night-time. Nudes is loneliness in limbo. Nudes is anguish. Nudes is trust. Nudes is doubt. Nudes is fear. Nudes is exhaustion. Nudes is therapy. Nudes is mine.”
Ten Years After’s Ric Lee
Finally, Ric Lee from 60s British Blues sensations Ten Years After promotes his autobiography with a Q&A show at 81 Renshaw this Saturday, September 21.
Ten Years After were one of the breakthrough acts of the legendary Woodstock Festival in 1969 and an essential part of the 60s Blues boom.
Their track I’m Going Home featured on the festival’s triple album and catapulted the band into the major league.
Guitarist Alvin Lee‘s incredible talent was captured on film and subsequently shown to an audience of millions. His skill on the fretboard earned him the legend of being ‘the fastest guitarist in the west‘ and he is considered a progenitor of modern rock guitar playing.
To promote his recent autobiography, From Headstocks To Woodstock, Drummer Ric Lee will be talking about his life in one of Britains classic rock bands at Liverpool’s 81 Renshaw.
The chance to hear first hand tales of Woodstock and the Isle of Wight festivals and life on the road in the 60s and 70s is not something to be missed. In the intimate confines of 81 Renshaw, this promises to be a very special event.
Need more tempting? Ok, it’s free!
Starting at 2.00 pm, this will be the perfect start to your Saturday, a drink or two in the presence of 60s rock royalty and some stories straight from the horse’s mouth.
See you there.
