Folk and passionate Soul
Folk and passionate Soul
I'm very excited about this gig, as we
have my lovely friends Kidnap Alice
coming to play at this cosy venue whilst on their 2012 UK tour.
I spent many a weekend with these guys
in 2011, running sound and festival stages, traveling the length and breadth of
the country causing havoc and folk music! This is going to be their very first visit to
an Owlsworld show ;-)
Kidnap
Alice are based in
London but hail from the South West and South East of England. They mix up classic Bluegrass and 'Old Time'
tunes with a modern twist and give their own original songs the Bluegrass
treatment with fiery mandolin, blistering banjo and slapped bass. With soulful vocals and tight arrangements
from a classic acoustic string band line up, the band bridge the gap between
vintage Rhythm & Blues and Appalachian mountain music.
The band made their début festival
performance at Glastonbury 2010, opening the Club Da Da stage for the legendary
Thursday Night HoeDown. Then, in true
Glastonbury spirit, they busked another 6 shows around the site, including a
super rowdy gig in the dug-out Piano Bar late on Sunday night to close the
weekend! Since then the band have
performed at numerous festivals and events including Camp Bestival, The Big
Chill, Green Man, Bestival, Secret Garden Party, The Alternative Village Fête at the National Theatre and Shakespeare's Globe amongst many others.

Support Act:
Catherine Burke
Catherine plays guitar and writes light-hearted songs. Her lyrics are open and honest but generally written with a twist of humour thrown in. She is heavily influenced by her love of Bluegrass and American music – although there are influences from all around the world. In live performance she is good fun, easy to understand and always delivers her songs with a big smile and a wink. She has just finished recording her long awaited debut album “Exes, Losers and Other Men (song that make my Dad’s eyes roll)” and you can hear some sneak previews at:
