Individually,Hitiro have been around for quite a while playing a diverse range of music before returning to their original love of jazz and jazz inflected rock. Since the halcyon days of Weather Report and Chick Corea,rock and jazz have entertained a long flirtation but in the case of Hitiro it is a consummate love affair which fuses a range of influences into a heady and eclectic mix.
This is their first live performance and has been a long time coming so a gig not to be missed. Incidentally,the name was originally meant to be hetero as in diverse but a typo resulted in Hitiro which is the title of a classic Japanese movie. Not a lot of people know that.
Tickets are available at the venue or to reserve contact mjones572@hotmail.co.uk.

Award winning trio Harp And A Monkey return to Belper on September 15. Since their last appearance,they have scooped the folking.com award for band of the year. and received accolades from sources as diverse as Mike Harding and Clare Balding.
Suffice it to say that The Observer review of 'bold and brilliant' does fair justice to their brand of electro-folk storytelling with traditional roots and historical themes seamlessly blended with their unique blend of instrumentation and electronic embellishment.
Whether on the festival stage or the intimate club environment, Harp and a Monkey never fail to deliver a performance guaranteed to  bring tremors to the petrified forest of traditional folk.

INTARSIA at THE QUEENS HEAD,BELPER.JUNE 22nd. £6. Doors at 8.00pm.

11/6/2018

Intarsia are of course Jo May and Sarah Matthews so a clear case of folk roots,new routes.
Sarah is no stranger to Derbyshire audiences with a long career of fruitful collaborations including the excellent Cupola and surely it can't be that long ago when I saw them backing a young Lucy Ward.
Jo is also no stranger to local audiences and if you were lucky enough to catch her at The Top Bar last autumn as one half of Against The Grain,you will appreciate just how much her percussion playing adds to material. And yes,she is probably the finest lead spoons player to have played this venue.
Expect an evening of more or less traditional material but not the way you've ever heard it before.
Tickets available at the venue or contact mjones572@hotmail.co.uk.

Seventy years old but is it in safe hands? With Babington Hospital under threat and a national shortage of beds, the writing is clearly on the wall. Come along to celebrate our greatest national institution and help to raise cash to fight for its future.
Robb Johnson is no stranger to Belper audiences. Our foremost political songwriter returns along with local heroes Chris Butler and Graham 'Cookie' Cooke for an evening of song and merriment. A welcome antidote for those who associate campaigning with handing out soggy leaflets on rain swept streets.
Let's do some good and have fun at the same time.
