What's On Friday 2nd February in Bristol

Events on Friday 2nd February

“At only 23, Edd Hedges has an incredibly endearing stage presence and a natural affinity with an audience making him appear older and wiser than his years. Since winning So You Think You’re Funny in 2013 he has also been a runner-up in subsequent finals of Leicester Square New Comedian of the Year and Piccadilly Comedy Club New Comedian of the Year and featured in Montreal’s Just For Laughs Comedy Festival. Edd was also chosen by Sofie Hagen to be her support for a recent UK tour.”

“Flamenco guitarist and singer from Extremadura, now settled in Bristol, Jose Solo brings a tangy Iberian style of guitar playing and a touch of Latin spice to his original material, as well as a cracking voice that speaks of Spanish nights, Cuban cafés and warm summer breezes. www.facebook.com/josesolomusic”

“Born in Miami and based in Nashville, The Mavericks have always been hard to define. Combining country and rockabilly with a “Latin-tinged party sound” (Rolling Stone), “Tex-Mex horns” (Paste) and lead singer Raul Malo’s distinctive croon, the Grammy-winning band shot to global fame in the nineties when Dance the Night Away spent 18 weeks in the charts. Back with a new album, and celebrating 20 years since the release of Trampoline, The Mavericks are set to bring the ultimate party to Colston Hall in an evening of old favourites and new tracks.”

“On her fourth (and tellingly self-titled) album as The Weather Station, Toronto based Tamara Lindeman reinvents, and more deeply roots, her extraordinary, acclaimed songcraft, framing her precisely detailed, exquisitely wrought prose-poem narratives in bolder and more cinematic musical settings. The result is her most sonically direct and emotionally candid statement to date, a work of profound urgency and artistic generosity.”

“SALTINGS is a pastoral-horror-soundscape project, founded by Irish-born composer Andrew Cooke. Working by himself or collaborating with others, Andrew draws on the unsettling literary influences of authors like M.R. James and W.G. Sebald to tentatively create audio-worlds of controlled darkness; hushed plateaux of eerie tranquility and black horizons full of whispering, half-dreamed creatures... which are also liable to veer into cascading noise and unrepentant drone. Andrew uses of a combination of live instruments, loops, pedals and processing, and has two solo albums under his belt with more to come in 2018.”
