Power Down is upon us again, at it’s old haunt, the old converted church hall in the Islington Arts Factory, on Saturday, October 17th, 2009. The full line-up is now confirmed as below:
A soulful blues troubadour, fresh from playing a gorgeous set at the Treehouse Gallery last month, back with his band that will no doubt make use of the piano and the acoustics in the hall.
Zhanna Tonaganyan
A young Russian virtuoso violinist I had the great honour of discovering at one of the free lunchtime concerts at Lincoln’s Inn Chapel last year. She will be playing with an accompanying pianist, a couple of dark and romantic classical pieces of her choice.
A charming bossa nova guitarist and singer all the way from Naples in Italy, though now a resident of London. Seb played the first every Power Down, and it’s with much warmth that we welcome him back again.
North London female duo backed by a sinister orchestra, employing strange harps and bandions, a sound that would make even Nick Cave’s hairs stand on end.
Doors will be at 8pm, first act on at 8.30pm. Here’s the usual blurb about Power Down, in case you don’t know what the night is about:
Power Down is an irregular night of eclectic musical entertainment that is not powered by conventional sources. The performers are completely unamplified and the audience is silent out of necessity. The lighting is provided by donated candles and a type of candle that we make ourselves using recycled vegetable oil from the local fish and chip shop. Food and beverages are served which are either organic or locally produced. The nights are held together by the host Marmaduke Dando, and are generally held at the Islington Arts Factory in Holloway, north London.
