April, 20 Fri 8:00pm
Martin Carthy – vocals, guitar
John Kirkpatrick – vocals, button accordion
Martin Brinsford – mouth organ, percussion
Roger Williams – bass trombone, euphonium
Paul Archibald – trumpet
No-one sounds like BRASS MONKEY! Their 2009 album ‘Head of Steam’ heralded another chapter in the life of a band that has thrilled the live music scene in various incarnations since their debut in 1980. Martin Carthy and John Kirkpatrick naturally lock into one another‘s playing with an ease and precision that can only come of playing together for over thirty years. Sharing the vocals, and sometimes singing together in unison, they bring the fruits of years of experience to this band with an explosive freshness that is clearly driven by the excitement they all feel by playing together.
It’s a rare treat to see five masters of their art combine with such openhearted enthusiasm to reach such tremendous heights. Feel the power!
