A gig held at The Old Duke on Thursday 11th April. The event starts at 20:00.
Ma Polaine's Great Decline take to the road for the first time, and are delighted to be playing at the long-standing and renowned Old Duke. 45 King Street, BS1 4ER
Taking inspiration from the 1940's jazz of Billie Holiday, the delta blues of Howlin' Wolf, the genre sidestepping of Tom Waits, and with some good old-fashioned life experience, Ma Polaine's Great Decline is a creative collection of songs that move from foot tapping abandon to subtle intensity.
The lyrics cover veiled tales of love, the joys & pains of the music world, and all told with melodic invention, and backed by gritty blues harp, a horn section from somewhere between Stax and vaudeville, accordion, guitar, piano, and double bass.
