Since singing from a young age and learning guitar in school (mostly "to get out of class") Elston spent most of her time day dreaming about being on stage and it wasn't long before she was on one. After touring around the UK with several bands beyond the bounds of school, she decided to go it alone and move to the pop capital – Liverpool. "After discovering second hand vinyl copies of bands like The Beatles & Beach Boys, my songwriting completely immersed itself in to that 60s sound. I didn't want my music to be about dancing in some club wearing hot pants, I wanted it to be raw, to mean something" and it didn't take long for others to notice Sammi stood out from the crowd. Her first solo single 'Don't Fall For Me' (recorded with Matt O'Grady – You Me At Six producer) got a lot of attention from radio play/news articles and a supporting slot with American star Nell Bryden on her UK tour. Elston is back with her brand new EP 'Welcome to Wonderland' and is set to make lasting impressions. A notion which would be daunting to most, however to be this young with such an arsenal of songs to draw from, Elston isn't panicking.

Welcome to the March edition of Slap. I was hoping to say ‘Spring is in the air’ but I’ve just seen the weather forecast and it’s far from Spring-like. It really feels like it’s been a long winter of discontent with news of more venue closures almost weekly. The latest to go at the end of February was the Pig and Drum in Worcester which has been prominent on the local music seen for a few years now. Thanks to the efforts of landlady Rachel Cale bands from out of town loved playing there. We don’t yet know the long term fate of the Boar’s Mar 2017 Head in Kidderminster since Sid & Sandra announced they’re moving on in the summer, But I don’t think it’ll be the last to go. With business rates rises due very soon and so many people feeling the pinch, these places are really suffering. There are SLAP MAGAZINE rumours of other venues around the counties who may also be Unit 3a, Lowesmoor Wharf, shutting their doors soon. And It’s not just the music scene that Worcester WR1 2RS suffers either, many of these spaces are now multi functional art Telephone: 01905 26660 spaces as well as platforms for comedy, spoken word and poetry.

  • Investigating the Health of the UK Folk Club Dr Stephen Henderson Senior
    Investigating the health of the UK folk club Dr Stephen Henderson Senior Lecturer Leeds Metropolitan University UK Centre for Events Management Room 216 Bronte Hall Headingley Campus Leeds LS6 3QS United Kingdom Telephone: 0113 812 5514 Email: [email protected] Abstract This research addresses the conflicting views of the health of folk music by way of interviewing artists, agents, and folk club organisers/promoters. Exploring the more homogenous formats of performance observed as singarounds (including sessions), ‘open mic’ and concert clubs, it is concluded that the concert club is struggling to survive whilst the other formats are still offering opportunities to folk artists. However, the latter are finding both the formal venues such as arts centres and the emergence of young promoters provides compensatory opportunities for performance. 1. Aim of Research For many years, folk clubs have provided places of congregation for those of like musical mind to discuss, perform, enjoy and share their music. This paper explores the state of health found within the UK folk club scene where the phrase ‘folk revival’ seems to be mentioned as often as concerns are raised about the future of the folk club. In considering the state of the folk club, this work concentrates on the business models represented by different folk club formats and their relative health as opposed to the complex ethnomusicology behind the folk music format. 2. Methodology In order to address the health of the folk club, the author has interviewed twelve individuals including the artists who play these clubs, agents who book out the artists across the many venues and organisers/promoters who book the artists into these venues.

  • Student Sample 1
    Student Sample 1 Paul Simon and Art Garfunkel were a duo from Queens, who performed folk rock from 1957 – 1070. They met in 4th grade when Simon saw Garfunkel at a talent show and hoped to befriend him as a ploy to attract girls. They eventually wrote their first song, “Girl for Me” in 1956 while at Forest Hill High School. The years went by and as their time for departure grew closer, their disagreements grew stronger, leading to the demise of the duo after the album, “Sounds of Silence”, was a commercial failure. Over the years they have reunited on occasions to play together, just as they did in the old days. Disturbed, originally titled, “Brawl”, Is a heavy metal band from Chicago, consisting of vocalist, David Draiman, Bassist, John Moyer, Guitarist, Dan Donegan, And drummer, Mike Wengren. Draiman was the second vocalist after, Erich Analf and was the ultimate decider of their new name. When asked about the name, Draiman replied, “It just seemed to symbolise everything we were feeling at the time”. Since Draiman’s joining, the band had released 5 albums before retiring to their side projects in 2011. The band re-joined in 2015 to release “Immortalised” which has sold over 400,000 copies in the U.S. The Sound of Silence was written by Paul Simon and recorded by Simon and Garfunkel in Columbia studios in 1964. Album was a commercial failure but after their producer heard it over the radio time and time again, he decided to remix the track, adding drums, bass, and electric guitar.
