Emma Tricca / Pete Greenwood

Event information

A welcome return of the wonderful Emma Tricca who captivated us in August with her gorgeous songs, voice and guitar-playing.

Emma Tricca

Championed by John Renbourn and Odetta at the start of her career, and subsequently encouraged by Jane Weaver and Andy Votel who would release her first two records (Minor White and Relic) songwriter/guitarist Emma Tricca's unique style has often been compared to a meld of Greenwich Village icons Nico and Patti Smith.
For her most recent collection Aspirin Sun, Emma teamed up again with Jason Victor (The Dream Syndicate) and Steve Shelley (Sonic Youth) to conjure an alluringly psychedelic sound redolent of 70’s folk-rock yet totally distinctive.
She’s toured extensively with Jane Weaver, Nick Mason (Saucerful of Secrets band), and Robyn Hitchcock, and notably collaborated with Judy Collins, Bridget St John, Jesse Chandler (Mercury Rev, Midlake) among others. BBC6 presenters Guy Garvey and Gideon Coe have been loyal supporters alongside USA stations - WFMU and WFUV - and print media such as Mojo, Uncut, Record Collector, Shindig, The Guardian, and The Times.
Judy Collins' Quote re Collaboration with Emma Tricca
“Emma Tricca has a unique voice and vision. It was an honour for her to use Albatross in Solomon Said! We'll be hearing from this creative visionary for a long time”.

Aspirin Sun Press Quotes
“With a voice that lands somewhere between Anohni and Beth Orton, a new found kosmisce influence permeates throughout. Take ‘Rubens’ House’, which blends Mazzy Star with the propulsive power of Neu!, while ‘Autumn’s Fiery Tongue’ is a slice of dreamy psych-folk; ‘Space and Time’ is simply achingly beautiful. This is near as dammit a masterpiece.” Shindig – 5 stars *****

Also playing:
Pete Greenwood gained his reputation as a guitarist during his university studies, and an extensive period of gigging in South London. The hours put in and the experience gained landed him tours in The UK, Europe and North America as an in-demand session guitarist. Upon returning to London after a trip to Japan/US with Mojave 3, he found himself with a record contract and an album’s worth of original solo material. 2008 saw the release of his debut album “Sirens”. Met with critical acclaim, he then juggled projects with The Loose Salute, The See See, and session work for Starsailor, with tours alongside The Magic numbers, Goldfrapp, The Raconteurs and The Brian Jonestown Massacre to name a few. Again, the second album “Beauceron” was written in a similar vein and released after his return to Yorkshire and a break from touring in 2015. Pete followed this with “Radio Slow”, recorded with The Dark Stars in a flurry of pre-covid activity and released in 2020.

Two solo sets plus a few songs together!
