C JOYNES
The contemporary Histon Giant, C Joynes, follows up his outstanding collaboration with Stephanie Hladowski, The Wild Wild Berry, with an EP previewing solo versions of material from an upcoming album recorded with long-time fellow travellers Dead Rat Orchestra. As is his wont, Joynes draws on source materials from field recordings and local cassettes gathered from around the world, and weaves this together with his Anglicised take on Primitivism. As The Dead C’s Bruce Russell puts it ““As much Conlon Nancarrow and Ali Farka Toure as Blind Lemon Jefferson, the compositional mind at work here can take apparently disparate threads of modernism and ethnic tradition and treat them as though they were all archaic blues styles learnt from dusty 78s.â€â€

NICK JONAH DAVIS
Nottingham-based Nick Jonah Davis is a formidable guitarist in the tradition of Bert Jansch, Nick Drake, etc. Though there’s a clear comparison to be made with the monolithic John Fahey, perhaps there’s a more British sensibility to his playing. Making use of modal tunings to create a resonating whole, Davis’s spindly melodies sometimes hither and thither on top, whilst at other times forthright lines are prominent.The effect is always a thoroughly rich and nourishing, highly spirited series of wordless tales. We celebrate the release of his new LP, House Of Dragons, on the excellent Lancashire & Somerset label.
