13.12.2010: Sam Amidon, Hannah Peel, Oddfellows Casino, Cafe Oto, Ashwin Street, Dalston E8
An end of year show for our Sam who's gone from strength to strength this year and Hannah in support who's just strengthening up for a big 2011! This will be a cracking show!
Both of these would have been seen at the Embers show at The Forum early November at the request of the mighty Tunng.

Hannah Peel
Hannah at MySpace
To say Hannah Peel is very special would be to make a huge understatement. Her work as a session musician has seen her tour the world with all manner of the great and the good but it's the stuff she makes herself which we need to take notice of. Hand-made music boxes, hushed bits and bobs and musical niknaks. It's really dead dead good.

Oddfellows Casino
Oddfellows Casino at myspace
Oddfellows Casino showcase their brand new album, the Raven's Empire. An elegant blend of orchestration, electronics and David Bramwell's reedy voice, that sits somewhere between psychedelia, post-rock and traditional music, the album is packed with tales of hauntings, birds, alien landings in pious Welsh villages and spectral figures in woods...
"An English gem as whimsical and bittersweet as Robert Wyatt or Talk Talk, but with edgier, more epic production. And the song We Will Be Here is an anthem in waiting." - Marcus O'Dair
