Queen's Head Music

SEAN TAYLOR and MIKE SEAL at THE QUEENS HEAD,BELPER. SEPTEMBER 21. 8.00pm. Support from Dave and Chris.

9/9/2019

Coming on like a latter day beat poet, Sean Taylor has established himself in the vanguard of young singer/ song writers.With unique material evocative of smoky bars and late night cafes, Sean covers the whole emotional range from the personal to social comment all delivered with a vocal intensity that has echoes of both Tom Waits and J.J Cale.
His new album 'The Path Into Blue' has already garnered rave reviews from sources as diverse as Mojo and The Morning Star. The Guardian tips him as 'a man to watch'.
On this occasion Sean's vocals and fiery guitar are perfectly complimented by the double bass of Mike Seal to form a duo that can only remind you of the halcyon days of John Martyn and Danny Thompson.
Support comes from Dave and Chris with their fusion of folk and blues from the Duffield Delta.
Tickets are £8 / £7 unwaged and available from the venue or by contacting mjones572@hotmail.co.uk.
But hurry as capacity is limited to 50.

Ma Polaine's Great Decline at The Queens Head,Belper.March 29th. 8.00pm. Support from Tony Stark and Nicolette Shae. £8.

7/3/2019

Hard to pigeon hole is probably an understatement when it comes to describing Ma Polaine's blend of blues roots and original writing although one critic imagined a young Billie Holiday gatecrashing Tom Waits in Swordfish Trombones mode.
The influences are there from blues to Nick Cave and Gillian Welch but the end product is defiantly original and different.
Tom Robinson loves them and they creep onto the menu of the more esoteric Radio 3 presenters while building an audience via the festival circuit and intimate venues like The Top Bar. If you're looking for something new and challenging ,they are definitely for you. As of course are the support act of Tony Stark and Nicolette Shae who broke the mould and a few rules when they last played here so a classic double bill for a Top Bar audience.
As always tickets are available at the venue or contact mjones572@hotmail.co.uk.
