She’s packed a lot of interesting stuff in, has JoFo (as no-one on Earth calls her). Kids songs, psych rock, ukelele tunes, German lieder – the idea of Foster’s next step being a stomping, dancing take on Lorca’s Spanish poetry is at once thrilling and completely logical. Salute free thinkers and dynamic spirits whenever you can. One more reason why we majorly dig QU Junktions on this poxy website. Intoxicate wildly.<\/div>\n

(Sat\u00a02nd\u00a0Oct\u00a02010\u00a0\/\u00a07.30pm\u00a0\/\u00a0\u00a39 adv)<\/div>\n
One of the most luminous and enlightening American singers of her time sings Federico Garcia Lorca\u2019s popular folk song collection \u201cLas Canciones Populares Espanolas\u201d with guitarist Victor Herroro and live band. Singing in Spanish, playing the castanets and dancing, Josephine brings to life these famous songs from one of Europe’s finest poets and dramatists.<\/div>\n

Josephine<\/a> describes the band \u201cas like a Andalusian jug band playing very energetic and animated music\u201d. Taking their cue from Lorca and La Argentinita\u2019s infectious 1931 recording of the songs, Josephine Foster<\/a> and her partner Spanish musician Victor Herrero have arranged the poetically rich collection for their new acoustic band, formed while living in the Grenadine Sierra.<\/p>\n

Josephine Foster is not only a captivating songwriter and performer (former Opera singer!) but she is also daring, amazingly versatile and irregular in her subject and form. She has covered Emily Dickerson (\u201cGraphic As A Star\u201d), sung German Art Songs (\u201cA Wolf In Sheeps Clothing\u201d) and released an album with The Cherry Blossoms among other projects. This current concept she handles with grace, charm and wit but she still retains that vitality, density and romance that a true poet bestows on their work.<\/p>\n

A deep well of Spanish popular folk histories is to be dived into as song, poetry and dance is staged in the former amateur dramatic theatre with Lorca, Josephine, Victor and band as our guides.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s a Grace Slick for the 21st Century – and that\u2019s all grace, no slick. An amazing combination of God-given ability and formal skill. You can hear Jefferson Airplane in her music, Quicksilver Messenger Service, Joan Baez\u2026 She\u2019s also the one, out of that whole scene, that has embraced the electric guitar, while at the same time being the most classical of them all.\u201d – Jay Babcock \/ Arthur<\/p>\n

Out of a tiny village in the rural north of Italy, staunch indie promoter and tour booker Tiziano Sgarbi becomes song hero Bob Corn<\/a>. Sketching with simple lines of guitar and voice, he conjures pretty\/anxious tracks concerning people and love, like early Adrian Orange or a bare-boned Bonnie Prince. “A great cat…beautiful tunes, very soulful” said Mike ‘Minutemen Watt’. “Oh Mother Mary, Bob Corn is a real shit!” said someone else (in Italian)…we’re certain this is a good thing.<\/p>\n

As a plus tonight we get SJ Esau<\/a>, a favoured son of Qu\/Bristol downing tools to play a rare interim show before his drooled-for brand new album drops next year (almost ready).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
