BRE4TH: The Smell of the Crowd:
Friday 26 February 2010         7 – 8.45pm

Members of the Grand Union Orchestra are playing and illustrating the art of circular breathing on Friday
night – get an insight into the physics and chemistry behind this amazing technique at an evening featuring
live music and new software offering real-time visualisations of the musicians’ exhalations.

There are many advantages to being able to breathe out in this way. But are our lungs getting a shot at
exchanging gases with our blood, or is this way of breathing bypassing them completely? Can this technique
help artistry?

Composer and director Tony Haynes and musicians Claude Deppa, Andy Grappy and Gerry Hunt present a
lively demonstration, discussion and performance event about breathing out for extraordinarily long periods
of time. Try it yourself in this participatory show, and be prepared to get a bit wet!

The evening concludes with a fantastic and unique improvisation with live circular-breathed music for your
pleasure!

Musicians:
Tony Haynes, Composer and Director, Grand Union Orchestra
Claude Deppa, Grand Union Orchestra
Andy Grappy, Grand Union Orchestra
Gerry Hunt, Grand Union Orchestra

Facilitators:
Gabi Braun, Bee Arts CIC
Terry Braun, Bee Arts CIC

Glenn Patrik

The Blues Room is proud to present the first ever UK gig by the esteemed US bluesman Glenn Patrik (www.glennpatrik.com), he comes to St. Albans the UK’s premier music with a pedigree that links back to some of  the biggest names in Blues & Rock ‘n’ Roll, Albert King, Albert Collins and many more. Backed by St. Albans favourites Elephant Shelf with whom Glenn is recording – a red-hot grooving night is ensured.

18th Feb – From the USA Glenn Patrik with Elephant Shelf.

Glenn Patrick
Glenn Patrick

Glenn Patrick. is from Kansas City USA and I had the good pleasure to meet him recently when I interviewed him for Blues Matters Magazine. Glenn has been acquainted with some of great names of American music including Albert Collins, Albert King, Duane Eddy and many more. He has a band full of great musicians who’ve also played with some mega names – Marshall Tucker Band,  Sister Sledge and many more. Glenn has a superb album ‘Nuthin’ but a Thang’ out on Shakehouse records. It’s an album that captures all that is best is in American music; true swing and great ensemble playing; so there’s an introduction. Tonight Glenn will be playing with Elephant Shelf as his band so expect something a little different :)

Think as a musician you may be the victim of a closed shop?
Done a really good show at  a good London venue and find that you can’t get your band booked again?
You are not alone…. Is there a closed inner circle?

Dave Blues Smith thinks there is.

Lord Clement-Jones’ live music bill will have its 3rd Reading in the House of Lords next Tuesday, 9th February:
 
If enacted the bill would exempt a range of venues up to 200 capacity from entertainment licensing for live music between 8am and midnight, and allow up to two musicians to perform anywhere unamplified or minimally amplified.  The bill is supported by UK Music, the original Live Music Forum, the National Campaign for the Arts, Equity and the Musicians Union.
 
The Bill passed the Lords Committee stage on Monday 1st February without amendment or opposition:
 
If progress continues unobstructed, it will go to the Commons.  Its success there is dependent on the government.  In reality, it is unlikely that the Bill will receive Commons debate as the Government will be unwilling to find time before the general election for a Bill they do not support.
 
But as The Publican reported yesterday: ‘Although the bill is a private members’ bill and is unlikely to become law, it could help to effect the government’s final plans over live music licensing’:
 
Meanwhile the police have been making friendlier noises about live music.  The original Live Music Forum, founded by campaigner Phil Little in the 1990s, has published a correspondence with the police in which they state:
 
‘The vast majority of live music events serve to provide considerable pleasure and social benefit without implication for policing or public safety. In a very small number of cases there is clear evidence of association of criminality with events or acts and that obviously needs to be dealt with as the intelligence and circumstances indicate, however, this is clearly the exception and not the norm.’
[Letter to Phil Little from Commander Paul Minton, Chief of Staff, Association of Chief Police Officers, received 13/01/2010
See: http://www.livemusicforum.co.uk/ and follow the link]
 
On 21 January Phil Little wrote back asking whether or not the police will support the exemptions in the live music bill and the government’s own consultation.  A reply is expected soon.

The Delta LadiesThe Delta Ladies

Delta Ladies

Imagine the high lonesome sound of a mountain fiddle and bluegrass guitar, the knife edge of Delta slide guitar, the fluid jazz violin of Stephan Grapelli, the songs of Hendrix & Dylan with the addition of Gypsy violin and flamenco tinged guitar, using guitars, fiddles, mandolin and the unique chromatic dulcimer…Imagine music that contains all of these magical elements, great songs like Hey Joe, but with Gypsy violin, Night and Day with dark passion…songs about the railway, about the devil and about life…Imagine all of this, then the added spice of startling original tunes..

From Delta blues to Jazz,
From Gershwin to grunge,
From Vaudeville to Voodoo child..
