MONTHLY RESIDENCY FOR HACKNEY'S FINEST BLUEGRASSY FOLKSTERS.
If you haven't already caught them at their regular Sunday morning busking spot on Columbia Road then catch them here the last Wednesday of the month. "one of those rare acts that, rather than seek fame and fortune by any means necessary, are content to achieve simply on the back of good songs and hard work ... gentle harmony-led songs call to mind early Simon & Garfunkel and even The Everly Brothers. And while Faulkner's superb harp playing conjures images of freight train-hopping Americana, the unadorned, strictly English-and-so-what vocal delivery sets them apart from the crowd and only adds to their charm - as it did with The Go-betweens thirty years earlier ... impossible to dislike. - Gerry Ranson, Rock n Reel, Sept/Oct '09 8:00PM UPSTAIRS
"Easy-flowing harmonies and melodies swim along like early Jayhawks, the lyrics smiling in the face of life and love's travails". Andy Fyfe, Q Magazine, Nov '09

"THE BOOK OF APERTURES" ...
A NEW PUBLICATION BY THE DYLAN THOMAS PRIZE NOMINATED ARTS COLLECTIVE. Lazy Gramophone's 4th publication exploring those unexplainable elements of life that at one time or another affect us all. As children particularly, we have all used our imaginations to conjure up explanations for the things that we didn’t quite understand, and so, in creating this book, the writers and artists were asked little more than to develop this idea. At the launch you will find a selection of the book’s artwork hung from canvases while extracts from the book will decorate the walls. Many of the book’s writers and artists will be on hand to discuss their work. All of this will be accompanied by the sounds emanating from our DJs Cuckoo Pan, EMBLAK & Tugnut. NO CHARGE TO ENTER THE BETSEY TROTWOOD ... HOWEVER ACCESS TO THE SPECIAL "ROOM OF APERTURES" WILL COST £9.99 TO INCLUDE A FREE COPY OF THE BOOK (RRP£14.99) from 1pm to 10pm / SUNDAY LUNCH 12 - 4.00pm
An independent publishing company and arts collective focused on supporting young, emergent writers and artists and aiming to offer them real opportunities for publication. By encouraging artists and writers to work together and support each other, Lazy Gramophone Press hopes to establish a sustainable platform from which to create original material and reach a wider audience.
THE BOOK OF APERTURES
With an emphasis upon collaboration, containing 15 short stories and 9 poems by 14 different writers, exhibiting 41 pieces of original artwork by 9 different artists, The Book of Apertures represents a series of explorations into the enigmatic nature of life, as viewed through each contributor’s personal aperture.
