His wonderful Tower of Songs - stripped back, desolate, naked and sensual Enigmatic, mysterious and sub textural, songwriter Leonard Cohen was an unflinching character, with an exact sense of prose, a wry humour and courage to wrestle with the unspoken, forgiving human frailty with the stroke of each line. The chilling announcement of Leonard's passing marked the end of an era. His music befriended an entire generation. Within every line of his writing, he has been challenging us to listen more carefully, speak more thoughtfully, think more deeply and recognize our own fragility. A Man of Grace. This World will miss him very much! With a lifetime reputation of performing in this exact way and an undying love of the ‘pure song’ Keith James gives you a concert of Cohen’s amazing material in the most intimate and sensitive way imaginable, exposing the solitary inner strength of his greatest songs in their original perfect form. Keith has performed an extensive tour of this concert in Theatres and Arts Centres across the UK, giving almost 400 concerts to over 100,000 people. This has proved to be one of the greatest honours in Keith James’ 40 year career in music. Keith lives in Powys, Wales and Andalucia, Spain Amongst a concert of such songs as; Famous Blue Raincoat, Sisters of Mercy, Suzanne and Hallelujah, are also Poems by Lorca that Keith has set to music; Cohen’s greatest influence. There will also be songs from ‘You want it Darker’ released only weeks before his death – produced by his Son, Adam. ‘Some of the most atmospheric and emotive music you will ever hear’ The Independent ‘Keith James has become a pillar of trust. A sublimely intimate and engaging voice’ Sunday Times ‘an elegant and beautifully crafted reinterpretation of a great Artist’s words’ BBC Radio Scotland ‘certainly the UK’s most celebrated and evocative interpreter of golden music’ The Guardian ‘All the tears of time are shed in a few brief lines’ Times Literary Supplement ‘a sensitive and pleasingly understated delivery, all the better that the songs might speak for themselves’ Acoustic Magazine |

The evening is a concert version of the campfire nights which the roots music promoter, The Nest Collective, has been running at nightingale sites in south east England since 2015 and which are happening again this Spring in Kent and Sussex. For the Exeter event Sam Lee will be joined by two SW-based musicians - Chartwell Dutiro, a vocalist and mbira maestro, and by the internationally touring multi-instrumentalists Francesca Simmons - and also via a live link to one of the UK's last remaining strongholds of the bird widely believed possess one of Nature's finest voices. Sam Lee says: "The song of the nightingale has been captivating human hearts and imaginations since ancient times but the numbers visiting Britain are in decline, and it is very rare to hear them now even in the countryside. The aim of our events is to let more people experience the timeless magic of nightingale song and make them part of one of the rarest of concerts a human/bird duet. The event is one of only seven being staged in the UK this Spring and is a companion to a series of campfire events taking place every weekend from April 20 to May 26 in Kent and Sussex.

![]() Another one of Calstock's favourite bands! First in Calstock there was Po'Girl with Alli Russell and Awna Texeira in 2010. Then Jt & The Clouds in Feb 2011 followed by PoGirl with JT in the band in Sep 2011. In 2013 Birds of Chicago (Alli & JT) played at Cotehele now they are back with a four piece band Stark, elemental imagery that feels like scripture, or a lost folk song recovered; the Birds draw heavily on the gospel tradition and the music feels like a new, secular gospel of sorts. For Birds of Chicago, every word counts. Every note counts. No gold-dusting, no filler. Music is the good news and Real Midnight, the band’s poignant 2016 Joe Henry produced album, throbbed with an urgency that felt quietly seismic. Music this raw and soul-rich demands to be experienced live, and Birds of Chicago have developed a fervent following, touring 200 nights a year since their formation in late 2012. For these Birds, singing for a room full of new people, hearts wide open, keeps off the cold and chases off the shadows. In 2018 the Birds will be bringing American Flowers and Love in Wartime to a town near you. Rock and Roll will save our souls. Or, it’s got as good a chance as anything. |

Lankum - Tavistock Wharf, Canal Road, Tavistock, Devon, PL19 8AT - 7.30pm Tickets £13.00 - £10.00 Wharf Music Club - seated - Box office 01822 611166 - Visit website for more information and tickets. Named after the the child-murdering villain from the classic ballad, Lankum are a four-piece traditional folk group from Dublin, Ireland, who combine distinctive four-part vocal harmonies with arrangements of uilleann pipes, concertina, Russian accordion, fiddle and guitar. Their repertoire spans humorous Dublin music-hall ditties and street-songs, classic ballads from the Traveller tradition, traditional Irish and American dance tunes, and their own original material. Having spent the last number of years performing as Lynched, the band decided that they would no longer continue with the name due to the unavoidable implications that it has in regards to acts of racist violence. Their new name comes from the ballad ‘False Lankum’, as sung by the Irish Traveller John Reilly Jr. The band was originally formed as an experimental-psychedelic-folk-punk-duo by brothers Ian and Daragh Lynch in the early 2,000’s, and has since progressed through a number of incarnations, culminating in the four piece group playing today (along with Cormac MacDiarmada and Radie Peat who joined in 2012). They have gained somewhat of a reputation after the realease of their album ‘Cold Old Fire’ and an appearance on Later… with Jools Holland as well as three nominations at the 2016 BBC Radio 2 Folk Awards. Although an acoustic group whose repertoire is fundamentally based on traditional song, influenced by legends such as Frank Harte, Planxty, The Dubliners and the Watersons, subtle traces of the group’s collective influences can be detected, from American old-timey music, krautrock, ambient techno and psychedelic folk, to black metal, drone, punk and rock n’ roll. Their new album ‘Between the Earth and Sky’ will be available on Rough Trade Records on October 27th, ahead of a string of tour dates to promote the album. |
