El domingo 8 de enero mi querido Nathaniel Robin Mann y yo (Sef) cantaremos en Madrid por primera vez en dos años. Serán dos conciertos caseros: a las 13:00h (zona Marqués de Vadillo) para todos los públicos ¡con vino caliente! y a las 19:00h (zona Lavapiés) para un aforo más limitado (un poco más picante-melancólico-salvaje). Ambos serán eventos encantadores a precio libre y para asistir debéis enviar un mensaje a [email protected] indicando en el asunto la hora y zona que os interesa y cuántas personas seréis. Os responderé con las instrucciones y la dirección exacta. Quienes nos habéis visto sabéis que nuestra especialidad es el directo visceral aderezado con aventuras, por eso nos apetecía cantar en vuestras casas y dos anfitrionas se han animado a colaborar. ¡Gracias, Flavia y Jara! He preparado uno de mis flyers de último momento para la ocasión. Post: fotos y vídeos aquí.

Next Sunday, January 8th, my dear Nathaniel Robin Mann and I (Sef) will sing in Madrid for the first time in two years. It will be two domestic concerts: one at 1pm (Marqués de Vadillo area) for all audiences, and we’ll make mulled wine! and at 7pm (Lavapiés area) for a more limited crowd (and a bit more spicy-melancholic-savage). Both will be charming events at pay-what-you-can and to come you must send a message to [email protected] with the Subject being time and area and how many people wish to assist. Those who have heard us before know that our specialty is raw live music spiced with adventures, that’s why we wanted to sing in houses this time and two hosts have risen to collaborate. Thanks, Flavia and Jara! I’ve prepared one my last-minute flyers for the occasion. Post: photos and videos here.

Este domingo me reuniré de nuevo con mi otro hermano de barbas y lenguas, el inglés Nathaniel Robin Mann. Qué alegría ¡y qué ocasión! Daremos un concierto 100% acústico de esos que nos encantan sobre la tarima de Big South (calle Laurel 14, Madrid, Metro Embajadores/Acacias), una escuela de swing que descubrí paseando y se me antojó perfecta para la visita de Nathan. Precios populares como siempre: la entrada valdrá 5 euros y si venís con cojín, ¡4 euros! Ya me conocéis, me gusta testar las complicidades. Pero la última palabra es vuestra. Cantaremos recordando nuestros grandes éxitos de estos últimos años, de los espirituales y el folclore fagocitado al gangsta rap con ukuleles. He preparado este flyer animado para que os animéis a mover el esqueleto.

This Sunday I'll reunite with my other Beards & Tongues brother, Nathaniel Robin Mann. What a joy and what an occasion! We'll perform a 100% acoustic concert like we love to do, on the wooden floor of Big South (calle Laurel 14, Madrid, Metro Embajadores/Acacias), a swing school I stumbled upon casually and found perfect for Nathan's visit from England. Popular prices as always: door tickets cost 5 euros and if you come with a cushion, 4 euros! You know me, I like to test complicity. But the final decision is yours. We'll sing remembering our greatest hits from these past years, from spirituals and appropriated folclore to ukulele gangsta rap. Here's an animated flyer I've made for the occasion, come swing!

Tour Diary / June 2013 (3)

Wednesday the 19th of June 2013 I'm back in London for a concert at 33 Chatsworth Rd, an old dentist's place ripped out and now home to a great program of music most weeks. Haven't been to a dentist for about 10 years, guess that much is obvious.

Playing tonight are myself, Nathaniel Robin Mann and Áine O'Dwyer - an Irish harpist who I seem to share some old mutual friends with. There's plenty of people arriving very early and Nathan begins by standing on the telephone junction box outside and belting out a song about a lost dog.

He does all the good things and it's a lovely set. Áine sits at the massive, thoroughly confusing harp and sings epic song-poems whilst an invisible choir sing in the basement below. It's fairly special, yep.

Much later I play and rush through things - it's late and people are anxious about missing the last train so there's an urgency to things. Wonderful night though, and a brilliant space to find and play in.

Later we walk the 20 minutes back home past the fox and through the park and sleep happy.

Thursday the 20th of June 2013 I'm playing in Winchester this evening, so it's a case of train down to Southampton and head up there with some of the family folks. It's Ancient & Modern and there's a whole bunch of people playing - I'm on last so, as nice as the night is, it's a little tough to play after half the audience has gone and with only 20 minutes left on the clock. A wonderful night though and a great bunch running the thing - plus Provincials were super slow and dark which is the way I likes em.

Friday the 21st of June 2013 Day off. Not enough of this sort of thing.
