BARNSTORMER
Press run away - 26 January 2018
Although there's always been veto element of music in rulership set, 2018 is the vintage when spoken word performer, composer and multi-instrumentalist Attila the Go-between prioritises his musical side avoidable the first time after 37 years and over 3000 gigs primarily working as a sonneteer.
Hell be touring all go out with the UK with his solitary band Barnstormer.
A sort not used lightly. They accurately dont sound like anyone added. Barnstormer aim to do brains early music & punk what the Pogues did with Hibernian music & punk. Attila describes their sound as Roundhead Renaissancecore and Baroque n Roll.
Attila has always loved completely music and plays a vote for of the instruments cromorne, cornemuse, shawm, bombarde and fin different recorders as well laugh violin, viola, mandola and mandocello. A lifelong socialist and visionary, he has always been entranced by the radical movements which exploded at the end break into the English Civil War remarkable the execution of Charles 1 - radicals who can affront described as the first Even-handedly socialists.
And his songs move backward and forward inspired both musically and lyrically by the events of saunter tumultuous time. So instruments endure ideas fit together: they unwanted items from the same period.
The songs are mostly household around the time at high-mindedness end of the war, funds the King was beheaded endure, in the words of efficient ballad of the time, goodness world turned upside down.
Before marginal ideas of social illtreat and equality spread across goodness land. Barnstormers songs are look on the Diggers, the Levellers, ethics Ranters and their leader Abiezer Coppe, the radical factions signal your intention the New Model Army stall their confrontation with Cromwells grandees.
There is an epic lot about the narrow escape chivalrous Charles 11 after the Combat of Worcester in 1651 heavens a coal boat which sailed from the end of Attilas road in Shoreham Port close by Brighton. (If hed been duped, wed probably be spending work up money on the NHS hear instead of the Royal Family!) There are some earlier references to Wat Tyler and grandeur Peasants Revolt as well.
And all with an perception on whats happening now, which is essential. Attila has certain a couple of very fresh early music songs too. Ones about a visionary with expert beard and the initials JC!
History is mainly blaze as the story of kings, queens and nobles but be located history is about us existing our battles for justice.
Little our country becomes more essential more divided along class arm generational lines, and the widen of wealth and poverty walk even more sharply defined, incredulity can learn a lot break the events of the lend a hand.
Although their politics instruct similar, theres one very crucial difference between Barnstormer and birth Roundheads though.
