A
gig
on Sunday 4th October. The event starts at 20:00.
A rare chance to catch some of Elliot's more alternative and intense songs, his back catalogue and the songs that gave him his rave reviews and a personal message from an NME journalist claiming'this is the best collection of songs i've ever had to review'. The 5-7 Sunday slot is perfect for that post-roast slump...pull up a chair, pull up a pint and listen to a master of words and melody. A post-punk, alt-country, almost-Cash in his later years... with whisky soaked husky growl and'gut wrenchingly fearless' lyrics.
"Remember the very first time you heard Tom Waits and you thought: "No
way"? It's like that with Elliot Hall of Bristol. All is shot through
with a rare honesty - never do the subject matter or lyrics feel phony. Hall
is what Ray LaMontagne pretends to be. He is heroic and compelling". venue magazine
"A rough, gruff and tumble voice that pulls away at lyrics this good is
the kind of daydream we need in England to reignite a spark for credible
new songwriters. Fans of folk, poetry and rock'n' roll should pay
attention to this wholly earnest and breathtakingly awe inspiring rogue"
