The Amazing Kit Richardson wins the London Fringe Music Award 2009 Kit is an iron-lunged, piano-wielding songstress with a big heart and a list of grievances.She is currently in the process of completing her live band, trying to get a nice independent record deal, and playing around with the e-piano function on her Yamaha. myspace Thanks to Alice French and Jemma West for arranging it all, and Nolia for the venue. July 25 in music Don't miss the London Fringe Music Award, 8 great singers and their musicians, July 24, at Nolias Gallery @ St Thomas a Beckett pub Arranged by Alice French and Jemma West. Originally the brainchild of crooning minstrel Gregory Griffin; a californian transplanted to the blasted wastes of Manor House, Lofty Heights have since evolved into a band of mid-20's misfits peddling Colin Meloy style indie pop that plunges you into a strange world of lonesome ancient mariners and the perils of sharing the washing-up. Having honed their skills on pretty much any stage/floor/warehouse you can think of in the East London area, Lofty Heights' live shows are a whirling dervish of surf melodies, mustaches, charangos and absurd in-jokes. Pretty cool, huh? myspace Thee Single Spy write songs about drowning towns, lyrical Christian campfire traditions and the smoking of herbal anxiety medications. Once the spirit of older, cracklier times and rhymes, they now play rock music.www.myspace.com/theesinglespy Orlando is a songwriter, poet and actor. For the last two years he's been working on a raft of songs about love and salvation in supermarkets, the lost and found on the underground, and beautiful morons everywhere. Collaborating with Michael; a film composer and classical pianist, Dan; a cellist and Masters student at the Royal College, and Bob on bass, he has created a manic-depressive orchestra that goes from intimate to epic. www.myspace.com/orlandoseale The Anti-Rhythm Bandwagon are ready to cause a storm with their undeniably infectious folk/blues/rock foot-stomping show. With influence and comparisons drawn from Artists such as John Martyn, Radiohead, The Doves, The Band & Peter Green's Fleetwood Mac, they take the listener on an aural journey from their native Scotland, to Country central Nashville & back to the Blues depths of New Orleans in a single song see 'White Van'. myspace The Folk influenced observational tales of Sandy And The Bells never completely let's go of the indie music culture of it's surrounding London Town. Although avoiding a distinctly LDN vocal imprint, the band's roots are less explicit, leaving the listener to be drawn in by the lyrical content and at it's best, the audience is encapsulated by a voice laced with innocence matched with equally emotionally enriched instrumentation. myspace Nutyas Surya Gumilang, who goes by the initials NSG, first discovered he had a talent for music through the compositions he produced playing "Music," a cult music-creation suite available on the original Sony PlayStation. His debut album, Working Class Superstar, released on July 24 and available from iTunes, is a beautifully produced multi-genre album that effortlessly skips from hip-hop to acoustic rock to dance music; moreover, not a single one of its 10 tracks could be categorized as filler material, and several of the songs are outstanding. http://www.nsg-music.co.uk Belle is a dynamic young performer/singer songwriter who moves seamlessly through trip hop, soul and jazz. She has performed at festivals and venues across London including the Royal Court Theatre Bar, Jazz Cafe, Walthamstow festival, Oh bar, Purple Turtle, The Underbelly amongst others. Currently working on an ep with a producer from Universal and a live album and racking up some gigs, she is finding time to work with young homeless people in Newham on arts and community activities. She is also running the extremely successful night (of which she is a resident artist) Spotlight sessions with Music is Life. myspace Kit Richardson is an iron-lunged, piano-wielding songstress with a big heart and a list of grievances.She is currently in the process of completing her live band, trying to get a nice independent record deal, and playing around with the e-piano function on her Yamaha. myspace July 24 in music It's time to play. Join us at the London Fringe Music Award at Nolias Gallery @ St Thomas a Beckett pub, Friday July 24 ![]() London Fringe Music Award night to be held at the famous St Thomas a Beckett pub, Old Kent Road, SE1, where David Bowie wrote Ziggy Stardust in an upstairs room. more July 23 in music Join us at the London Fringe Music Award at Nolias Gallery @ St Thomas a Beckett pub, Friday July 24 Meet Nolia, the mother of all gallery owners "Nolia is the proud owner of two Art Galleries, the St Thomas a Beckett and Nolias Gallery. A stylish Malaysian woman with 61 years of REAL living, she is instantly recognizable and succinct in her 4ft 11". She defies her age by displaying the boundless energy that most people can only dream of.She is a mother figure for lots of young artists who are starting out, injecting them with life, and introducing them to the zest she bears by the moundful. I have my suspition that the secret of this energy lies is in her spicy cooking. Garlic, Chillie and Ginger are her blueprint for clean blood flow. Her dinner parties are filled with delicious food, entertainment, laughter and honest family sharing. As well as having three children of her own and two grand children she has the gift of song. At the St Thomas gallery she hosted a live music and art event for the London Bridge Festival. After she introduced the first act, there was a technical hitch. So, in true Nolia style, 'If one wants a job done, one must be able to do it oneself', she sang Summer Time acapella, with as much feeling and flare as the songs' songstress, Billy Holiday. It seems that her hard work, genuine love, care for detail and time for people are what makes her clock tick louder and brighter than most. A magnetic heart beat and an inspiration!" written by Helena Biggs, performance artist and creator.

Bluesy vocalist and guitarist Belle Greenwood, gifted with a distinctive, velvety voice, will perform a collection of original new songs. Ilaria Mare's singing has a lyrical and evocative quality. It is "expressive and luscious and gently floats between her mother-tongue Italian and English". Celebrated composer and singer songwriter Amelia Robinson, from New York, will perform a set of original quirky music. Her voice "exposes simple yet deeply passionate melodies while fingers evoke a twinkling light-hearted resonance of her instrument, the piano". July 07 in music |

| Times Saturday review: "It seems there is nothing not being attempted during the ambitious, two-week run of the first London Bridge Festival, a would-be attempt at the capital's version of the Edinburgh Fringe. Comedy, film, art, dance, music - you name it, it's happening. That might suggest that the quality control knob has been torn off and tossed into the Thames - happily, it hasn't. Drawing heavily on the historic locale, there will be plays at the Rose Theatre, Bankside (home to early works by Shakespeare and Marlowe), the Southwark Playhouse, and the wonderful Old Operating Theatre, a museum that does what it says on the tin, housing the oldest operating Theatre in London. It's well worth getting along to see something as well as the shows, the locations are a knockout. Various venues, London Bridge. " |
