SUMMARY:New Work by Jamie Oldham
DESCRIPTION:Jamie grew up in Cumbria and after living near Bath and exhibiting regularly in many London galleries he decided in 2022 to return to Cumbria and live near the Solway coast.He loves the work of the landscapists Fred Cumming and Kurt Jackson\, but his greatest influence (and greatest teacher) has been his late father\, Tom. Upfront had the pleasure of holding a memorable exhibition many years ago which included Jamie\, his father Tom Oldham and David William Morris.Jamie enjoys working in several genres – landscape\, still life and bird portraits – with multiple media including acrylics\, oils and cold wax. \n\n\n\nThe work in this exhibition is en plein air or studio work of West Cumbria\, the North Lakes and the Solway coast area.

SUMMARY:The Brothers Gillespie
DESCRIPTION:Described by Folk Radio UK as ‘weaving an especially compelling magic’\, and ‘showing British acoustic music in its best possible light’\, Northumbrian duo The Brothers Gillespie make music that is animated by lyrical songwriting\, fine fingerstyle guitar playing\, multi-instrumental musicianship and ‘the glorious tones of their blood harmony’ (Sam Lee). \n\n\n\nBrothers James and Sam Gillespie found their sound growing up in the fells and valleys of Northumberland\, their songs often describing relationships with wild places and the experience of finding oneself in a world alive with soul. The music comes to them most strongly when walking in the borderlands with their packs and instruments which remains a regular practice for them. This spirit is channeled into their live performances which have a rare and intimate energy\, both ethereal and earthy\, romantic and radical. The brothers have travelled far and wide with their music and have played at Cambridge and Sidmouth Folk Festivals and opened for Lankum and Sam Lee. In 2021 they featured in the English Heritage ‘Songs of England’ recording series that appeared on BBC Radio 4. The release of their new album ‘The Merciful Road’ (‘pure magic’\, Living Tradition) in Spring 2022 saw them embark on their most extensive national tour to date.‘The Merciful Road’ was recorded in a cottage by the banks of the river Tweed and like their previous album ‘The Fell’\, it blends rootsy\, acoustic elements to create a rich warm sound with a touch of vintage magic. In some ways it is an album about finding the thread of love and belonging in a world that seems to be nonetheless unravelling. \n\n\n\nThe brothers emerge from the time of lockdowns with a yet greater reverence for the joy and privilege of being with an audience in real time and space.‘Our music is inspired by the still wild soul of the land in which we live\, a land alive with presences\, not owned by anyone. It is about seeing with the eye of the heart and recovering our imaginations. It is about finding home\, belonging and each other in a world which is singing to us as we sing to it’. \n\n\n\n“Anyone who has seen the brothers live will surely attest that it is an experience that will stay with you. There is a feeling of warmth that exudes from them and affects everyone in the room” – Folk London \n\n\n\n“Not since the minimal chamber folk of Simon And Garfunkel has two voices and an acoustic guitar sounded so absolutely perfect.” FATEA \n\n\n\nStunning songs beautifully sung and played. Without doubt a classic in the making from a duo potent with potential.” – Northern Sky \n\n\n\n“Uncluttered\, simply but intoxicatingly arranged and adorned by their magical harmonies\, musically steeped in the earth\, grass and leaves that mark the pathways\, this is a road you really need to travel.” – Bright Young Folk \n\n\n\n“Warning to all folk fest and club orgs. book these lads while you still can because I have a feeling that they aren’t going to be short of work. – Mike Harding \n\n\n\n“The stars of the show were The Brother’s Gillespie – more than an hour of fantastic musicianship. Imagine the guitar work of the early Nic Jones\, the close harmony work of the Dransfields and the commitment and honesty of Bob Davenport rolled into two brothers and you’ll get some idea.” Mike Harding \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nPre concert supper available from 6pm (Booking essential phone 01768484538) \n\n\n\n\n\nTickets £14 each.
