Event information

Brickwork Lizards will perform at The Fantastic Slaughtered Lamb as part of their UK album launch tour, promoting material from their new release 'Haneen'.

Haneen is Brickwork Lizards second long-player, following the success of Zaman {2011}. In Arabic, Haneen describes a feeling of nostalgic yearning, and bygone times and places haunt every song on this remarkable album. The band's radical re-imaginings of traditional material from courtly dances of the Ottoman Sultans to ancient English hanging songs evoke centuries of history, and showcase a band adept at crossing borders and taking bold musical risks.

"It’s a genre-defying sound that never fails to have audiences on their feet."
Tim Hughes, Oxford Times

Oxford Maqam has been devoted to Nahda era song since the group came together in 2009. Its pioneering recreations of
Egyptian and Levantine songs dating from the 19th century to the early days of cinema have beguiled audiences across
England, Europe and the Middle East. Very little is known about how this world of recorded song took shape, but following
years of careful research, Oxford Maqam has mapped out new approaches to understanding and performing the music of the
Nahda era.
