Ryde Arts Festival promises more live music this coming weekend.
As well as live jazz on Friday night from Jim and Loren Thorn, Nick Page, Jon Thorne and Ken Black, there’ll be something for those who prefer their music a little more folky.
People in the Basement
The wonderful Depozitory in Nelson Street will be playing host to an evening of live music from some of the loveliest voices on the Isle of Wight on Saturday night.
Entry is by donation and the event kicks off at 7pm.
Blue Moss
Hailing from Yarmouth, Blue Moss has an affinity with the sea, and sees coastal erosion as a metaphor for an unrequited love through a fictional reincarnation of two lovers doomed to be to opposite to connect for thousands of years, until their sins are forgiven for the past lives they led.
Swan Levitt
Simple, soulful, lyrically driven songs – Swan Levitt carries the listener through an intricate yet cinematic journey that is both emotionally charged and rhythmically satisfying. Josh Woodford is a Folk Singer Songwriter from the Isle of Wight. He created Swan Levitt in February 2016, co-writing with Sam Woodford. He started recording his debut EP under Indie Label Organ Records in April, releasing a full album later in the year.
Puzzle Muteson
Puzzle Muteson is the musical project of enigmatic songwriter Terry Magson from the Isle of Wight, rendering his music in a tremulous tenor over a delicate web of fingerpicked guitar. Born in London, Isle of Dogs, the southern English Island provided unexpected shelter for the transformation into Puzzle Muteson.
His grade-school music teacher was first to recognize his unrivalled vibrato, and a little while later a parade of chance and coincidence led him to inhabit Puzzle Muteson, and start shaping a body of calming, yet unsettling songs.
Hester Chambers
A hopeless romantic writes about ghosts and rain, whilst playing guitar.
We’re really looking forward to it.
