CHRIS T-T + MJ Hibbett + Anna Madeleine

Event information

Chris T-T makes a welcome return to Cambridge in support of his new 'Words Fail Me' EP.

Chris has released 7 studio albums, and is no stranger to Cambridge, having played here as a headliner in his own right as well as with the likes of Jim Bob, Frank Turner and The Broken Family Band.

James Walsh - Morning Star
..."One of the most consistently fascinating artists of the past decade. The album challenges through intimacy. Starkly majestic, the title track is sung with a simplicity and truth that would put the likes of Radiohead to shame. This is the stuff of a rare and enduring talent."

Steve Lamacq - Radio 2
"Chris T-T is a man that we would trust with our lives. If he was standing for Mayor of London, I'd vote for him."

Sunday Times
"British pop's street-poet laureate and unsung genius returns."

Support comes from M.J. Hibbett, who has not played Cambridge for far, far too long.

In their ten years together MJ Hibbett & The Validators have performed live on Radio One, had a Record Of The Year in Rolling Stone, an Album Of The Day on 6Music, released one of the first ever viral videos, toured up and down the UK, featured in an Edinburgh Fringe Festival show, and are currently recording a Rock Opera, all while maintaining their complete independence from outside record labels. They've had a bloody good time doing it too.

Also appearing will be Anna Madeleine - leftfield electronic musician, vocalist, songwriter, listmaker and collector of angels.

Anna released The Angel EP in 2010 and is the perfect introduction to Anna's breakbeat, electro, atmospheric, drum 'n' bass/hip hop world: a mesmeric and magical aural peek into her 'built at home' sound.

She is influenced by film, science fiction, comics, graffiti and other street art, children's literature, Welsh people, London.

She has worked as a session singer, collaborator and musical theatre/cabaret performer.

Midwinter Picnic: "Hard partying Hackney electro princess brings theatrical, stripped down beats and brilliant melodies on the back of her 'Angel' EP."

Blang: "Playful biotechfolkmusik that time-travels in a hollow tube between nursery room pianos, hologram vocals and warped atmospherics."
