I see the debut London performance of her folk opera 'Hadestown' will be at The Union Chapel in Islington on 25th January - with special guests Martin Carthy, Jim Moray and others still to be announced. I imagine most on the list will have heard of Martin Carthy (of Steeleye Span, The Albion Band, and more recently Waterson:Carthy - famed for teaching Dylan and Paul Simon a song or two) who'll be playing Hades (sung by Greg Brown on the album). The role of Orpheus (sung by Justin Vernon aka Bon Iver on the album) will be played by 23 year old English folk singer Jim Moray - love his version of Bella Hardy's song 'Three Black Feathers' - http://blip.fm/~zf7ch Not sure yet who'll be playing the Ani DiFranco role as Persephone best to all PaulC NP Flowers (Eurydice's Song) by Anais Mitchell (from Hadestown) - - http://blip.fm/~zfo97 ------------------------------ Date: Wed, 8 Dec 2010 13:05:56 +0000 From: Paul Castle Subject: Re: Subject: RE: For Emma, Forever Ago (NJC) Clive Sax wrote >If you like Bon Iver, Lieve you may want to explore the likes of: Alexi >Murdoch, Gregory Alan Isakov, Neil Halstead, The Autumn Defence, The >Guggenheim Grotto, William Fitzsimmons and finally Sun kil Moon. >To name a few.

Happy Discovering:0) Thanks Clive - few new to me here - already really like Alexi Murdoch (who sounds so like a cross between very early John Martyn and Nick Drake) - love his song 'All My Days' - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_R5IQoIYvTM Also have a couple of albums by William Fitzsimmons - he does a lovely cover of James Taylor's 'You Can Close Your Eyes' - http://blip.fm/~zfqnv Love just about everything Mark Kozelek (Sun Kil Moon) does - his version of Will Oldham's (Bonnie Prince Billy) 'New Partner' has special memories - I was listening to it on my iPod one evening on a walk by the sea in Turkey. A skydiver was coming into land on the sea front when suddenly the guys on the ground realized that it was going to miss its landing spot and all started running and shouting in panic - fortunately they managed to catch it safely - and everyone, including the young girl skydiving, were just screaming with delight and relief, leaving me, watching, listening to this song with tears streaming down my face - http://blip.fm/~zfr75 very best PaulC NP 'Open Up' by Jonnie Murphy - a young guy I'm currently recording in my studio - http://blip.fm/~zfrjh ------------------------------ End of JMDL Digest V2010 #366 ***************************** ------- To post messages to the list, send to joni@smoe.org.
