Artists Presenting
George Goring- The one man band! Harmonica, Guitar and Singing!
George Goring is a singer-songwriter brought up in the tradition of the folk revivalists and protest singers of the 1960’s. Strong influences include Tom Paxton, Bob Dylan and Simon and Garfunkel. In his
music you can find influences from punk, African, soul and country. Most of his songs are grounded in personal experience, usually about love. He covers this topic from different angles including emotional, spiritual and political ones. Starting writing his songs from the late teens gives him a large repertoire to draw on. It is only recently that he has taken up performing solo. He strums and picks an acoustic guitar and sucks and blows a harmonica to accompany the singing.
Tagma Tilegrafiton ("The Telegraph Brigade") : A london based Rebetiko band
Tagma Tilegrafiton derive their repertoire from the old masters of Greek popular music, and aim to relive the directness, purity and excitement of the classic age of the rebetiko song. Their sound relies on the driving beat of acoustic guitar underpinning the bright, natural tone of the bouzoukis leaving a modern recreation of the underground music of Athens and Piraeus.
Born of hard lives lived in troubled times, the rebetiko song is one of the world's great roots musics. Once the cult secret of a streetwise minority, it has become the most-loved social music of all Greece. Tagma Tilegrafiton believe it is time for rebetiko to win the affections of people everywhere: newly discovered but strangely familiar. Come and enjoy the music: we will.
