Gig Guide: Sun 7th Mar

 

Sun 7th Mar 20:00 SPARTACUS LIVE :: FLOORS AND WALLS :: HEART SHAPED THINGS :: MIKE DAWES & AMY TURK :: RORY GILMORE

Floors and Walls are a melting pot of hard rock, MCing, melodic guitars and soulful, yet hard hitting lyrics, Floors and Walls are on the cutting edge of a new sound rising from the streets of Brighton. They recently won the Global Battle of the Bands 2008, beating 26 other bands from all over the world. It’s a brave band who dare combine sovereign-ring wearing, Carling-downing English urbanism with such funky riffs and weighty grooves. A highly original collision of disparate styles which given time to mature, could be genuinely exciting. Irritatingly good fun. KKK! Kerrang! Magazine

Heart Shaped Things
From broken hearts to cups of teas...these two heart warmers charm the audience with their pretty lyrics and cheeky presence. This playful acoustic-pop duo bring originality and excitement to their sets with poetic stories and catchy melodies. Harmonies so sweet mixed simply with acoustic guitar, hand percussion and a little friend called 'Gok'.

Mike Dawes & Amy Turk are an Acoustic Guitar and Concert Harp duo from the South of England. This double act produce a pallet of intricately delicate sounds that have been stunning audiences throughout the country. With a combined 53 strings, several feet of wood and multiple effect units, 'Mike Dawes & Amy Turk' are a truly unique duo gaining a snowballing reputation.

Rory Gilmore as been writing music for 6 years since he was 12. Whilst his music covers a broad spectrum of acoustic styles and approaches, it probably most closely ticks the “alt folk” box. It’s hard to be specific, because there are all kinds of influences on his writing.
