new tunes, planning for future events, all of which will be
announced shortly. There'll be more at Tyntesfield (unfortunately
the early Concerts had to be cancelled because of estate renovation
works), there'll be a trip to the Small World Theatre in West
Wales in late May AND WE'RE VERY PROUD TO BE PROMOTING (in
partnership with Henry Shafto's "Discerning Ears"

"You
could talk about Jane in terms of the Star she has been, the
Stars she has collaborated with (Peter Gabriel, KD Lang, Joe
Jackson, Brian Eno - the list is endless), or the stars underneath
which she walks. For me the most important thing is that in
a world increasingly dominated by the X Factor, the mundane,
the instant, Jane has always been and continues to be a committed
Artist. She experiments, she runs sideways, she abandons,
she recreates, she dies and is reborn, she is enigmatic, she
is inspired, she is impossible to pin down, she is infuriating,
she is suprising, she is uncompromising, she takes magnificent
risks, she changes her name, she is spiritual, she is physical,
she is dangerous, she is intimidating, she is hilarious, she
writes the most awesomely beautiful songs, she has a voice
that can sing the angels, she is tranporting . . . . . . she
reminds us of how it is to be an Artist (and not a celebrity!).
If you do nothing else this year, get yourself along to this
intimate salon Concert. If you're a Songwriter, do yourself
a favour and get to her afternoon Workshop. Chances like this
don't come along every day"
Piers Partridge.
"To go to a Pindrop concert is
to set out on an adventure through an ever-changing acoustic
landscape of eccentric instruments and songs. This 9-piece
Bristol collective cut their own cloth, write their own songs
and, more unusually, make many of their own instruments. Expect
to hear the “Tinklele” (tin ukulele), “Tinvolin”
(tin violin), tin guitar, bizarre percussion, Celtic harp,
string bass, dobro, slide guitar, accordion, autoharp and
tin whistle, as well as beautiful multilayered harmonies.
These are serious musicians, but they never fail to send their
audiences home with a smile on their faces and a skip in their
step."
