A gig held at The Lanes on Saturday 30th June. The event starts at 19:30.
The Man and The Lake
Wild, poetic, uproarious and anthemic. The Man and The Lake is an Adriatic folk-rock band based in Bristol, UK. The band's eclectic sound is inspired by Italian, Romani and Balkan music and blended with American and British folk-rock. They bring fiery rhythms, dark notes and stories from far away. Their shows have been described as "a dance-off at a funeral", with diverse influences that will drive you ecstatically into a ritual Venetian dance.
The band is composed of Mattia Maragno, singer and guitarist; Jack Cookson, double-bassist and backing vocals; Nic Burn on the drums, Celeste Cantor-Stephens on the trumpet and Robbie Godwin on the violin.
Opening Act: Jack Cookson
"Captivating" - Emily Barker (Red Clay Halo/Applewood Road)
“Easy-going charm and fine songs” - Ralph McTell
“A dexterous and playful way with words which would challenge composers many times his age.” - Folk Radio UK”
"With all the depth, space and rawness of the moors on a tumultuous day, multi-instrumentalist Jack Cookson’s a truly authentic, cathartic and brilliant songwriter." - James Santer (BBC Introducing Devon)
"Under the dubious umbrella that is the modern music business, the pressure on young performers to be clones of someone else is huge - and then, once in a while, someone comes along and overturns that particularly cynical apple cart with panache, guts, and a performance so absolutely shot through with honesty and visceral excitement that it just cannot be ignored. I first heard Jack Cookson live at the Cambridge Radio 2 Ceilidh at Cambridge in 2016 - or rather, I first heard the audience hear him. The roar of applause was genuine, delighted and, it seemed, endless. I listened to the rest of his short set avidly. Clever songs, honest songs, excellent, forceful guitar playing, all married together into a performance that was self-assured and entirely to the point. This man knew exactly what he wanted to say and exactly how he wanted to say it. I think this guy is one of the most exciting new talents to hit the scene in years. A week after that initial performance, his voice was still buzzing round my head - and I know I’d go a long, long way to hear him again." - Brian McNeill
