This is a past event.
Headline Act: Jennifer Lee Ridley
Emotive songstress, Jennifer Lee Ridley passionately uses influences of a Romantic folk nature to create poignant and touching music. She has studied in depth the poetic nature of song and has a strong affinity with writers such as William Shakespeare, John Keats and William Blake. More recently she has combined these influences with her own song-writing to create more modern fusions whilst carefully retaining the purity of the lyrical content. Her dark warm vocals combined with her individual folk sound mirrors the poetic lyrics which explore the many facets of emotions.
This has had a profound effect on her own songs which she continues to develop and enhance through working with other composers, musicians and writers locally and in London. She feels strongly that collaborating is an important part of growing and building an understanding of the nature and the impact of poetry and prose on music.
She is currently working on and arranging an album which she is hopes to bring out in 2014.
Paul Monham
Paul Monham is a self taught guitarist and singer/songwriter from Kent. Although Paul has been a member of the alt. rock band The Lucky Andersons for several years, his solo material is relatively new. That said, Paul has had plenty of experience playing in a live enviroment having performed all over the south east of England and London. Inspiration for his songs is drawn from several different genres - from brit-pop to hip-hop - and he sometimes uses a loop pedal to give his live performance a fuller sound.
