Event information

Kaparte Promotions presents:

Ship of Fools: GERTRUDE New Single Launch + Special Guests

Sunday 2 September at Bar & Co, Temple Pier

GERTRUDE
Gertrude weave the electric cello, melodica and clarinet with traditional rock instruments to create a unique melting pot of sound. Live, the band is energetic, rhythmic and intense - with comedy moments thrown in for good measure.

Their new single is called Nose Ring Piggy -a song about the ephemeral nature of love in a postmodern dystopia. A hypnotic 7/4 time signature trips out against beautiful clarinet melodies,a rolling bass line and cello moves.
Released for the Ship of Fools event on 2nd September.

NIGEL BURCH and the FLEA PIT ORCHESTRA featuring DYLAN BATES
Twisted skiffle, spit-and-sawdust vaudeville and
Cockney-Brechtian folk-punk cabaret from Burch, the banjulele-bashing bard and his musical misfits including Dylan Bates,
typsy gypsy fiddler extraodinaire, the Paganini of Penge.
Manic minstrel Burch delivers his dark and gritty bittersweet ditties with wit and a vitriolic fervour.
