Stoke Newington Music Festival 2018

Stoke Newington Music festival

Beaucatcher is happy to be participating once again in the Stoke Newington Music Festival.  Over the weekend of 20-21 October 2018 we will have a series of musical performances during the day and early evening in the salon, to support local musicians and raise money for North London Action for the Homeless.

Appointments that weekend will be even more entertaining than usual; we will have various guest singers, bands and other happenings on Saturday 20 and Sunday 21 October, mostly during our regular work hours. This means that we will be working and seeing clients right the way through, but we are happy to have other guests popping in and out to see what music they are interested in.

The lineup for the weekend is:
Saturday 20 October

  • 4pm – Contemporary and folk artist Allison Sleator has performed with individual musicians from London pop band Crystal Fighters and more traditional legendary figures, such as Ireland’s well-known producer, composer and renowned bouzouki player, Donal Lunny, founder of historic bands such as Moving HeartsPlanxty and The Bothy Band.

She has spent the last three years exploring South American folklore and music and will blend sounds of modern songwriting, traditional folk and Peruvian magic into her set. Not to be missed!

  • 5pm – Duncan DeMorgan of Rotten Burroughs playing gothic cowboy gypsy ballads and more.

Sunday 21 October

  • 4pm – Mezzo-soprano Carola Emrich Fisher will take us on a “Journey Through Song” with husband Colin Fisher at the piano. From European art song to opera to musical theatre, Carola will perform works by Purcell, Handel, Mozart, Puccini, Webber and many others.
  • 5pm – Steve Lacey, founding member of Loveburns, will perform a solo set.
  • 6pm – The Volunteers are a Stoke Newington-based six-piece blending dark country with gothic blues and thrash folk.
