City Festival 2015 and Cosmopolitan Carnival<\/p>\n

Each year there is a city festival that runs for a week; this year it ran from 22nd to 31st August.<\/p>\n

The ten days of the festival included a wide range of artistic activities and entertainments for the family. The festival is organised by Leicester City Council.<\/p>\n

\"Flight15<\/a>

Today there was a main stage in Jubilee Square and some of the acts that played on it included Flight15,\u00a0 The Harrowbrooks, The Hardy Band, Goldwater, Sola Rosa and The Paradmines. There was also a performance by Angelica Baylor from Atlanta, USA.<\/p>\n

At the BBC Radio Leicester building, a workshop too place on our musicians and singers can improve their presentation of themselves, particularly in social media. It was organised by Dreaming In Colour Productions and Arts in Leicester. Participants discussed how to present a music act in the social media when seeking bookings from venues and festival organisers.<\/p>\n

\"Jonezy<\/a>

The Cosmopolitan Carnival had a music stage outside Leicester Cathedral.\u00a0 Some of the acts we saw included musicians from the Confucius Institute playing Chinese music, the Kaine Mass gospel choir, Hari Trevedi playing tabla, a slot of comedian Ishi Khan Jackson and a performance by Jonezy.<\/p>\n

In the evening Dreaming In Colour put on a show at The Shed, at which Jonezy performed.<\/p>\n

Dreaming In Colour Productions launched their new rehearsal rooms in Humberstone Gate, not far from the Shed and the Musician.\u00a0 Many artists performed and a large-cross section of the music industry were there to see them.\u00a0 A recording studio is also planned in the near future.<\/p>\n

The Musician<\/p>\n

\"No<\/a>
No More Heroes at The Musician 2015<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

another of my ‘nights off’ when I end up working anyway. I was there for Revival’s<\/strong> EP launch. On stage tonight was Rhett Barrow<\/strong> with his band, now a duo, The Dedbeats<\/strong>. Anything with Rhett Barrow in it is bound to be good. He is a great singer and one of Leicester’s most engaging musical personalities.<\/p>\n

I liked the set by No More Heroes<\/strong>, the three piece band that has three particularly good musicians including a drummer – Andrew – who work on the skins tonight was inspiringly good. Drummers often fail to get the acknowledgement they deserve; they sit at the back and people usually fail to notice them. I watched Andrew tonight and, as I said to their lead singer after the set, I have not soon drumming that good in a long time.<\/p>\n

\"Revival's<\/a>

The headline set of the evening was Revival<\/strong>, with Daz Lynch in the lead role proving vocals that were packed with punch and delivered with plenty of presence.<\/p>\n

Kevin Gaughan was at the O2 Academy for the Reckless Youth show with 8MilesHigh Dig Lazarus.<\/p>\n

The Shed<\/p>\n

The organisers of the Glastonbudget<\/strong> music festival have started to hold auditions shows at The Shed for next year’s festival. I try to get along to as many of these as I can; for one thing it helps me to identify the bands on our ‘must see’ list if they get to play at the event. \u00a0Tonight I particularly wanted to be there for Loughborough rap artist LackyC<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

\"Lacky<\/a>
Lacky C, Amy and Jonezy at The shed<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

He was one of a group of hip-hop artists I got to know a few years back along with Jonezy, Dibbz and Ricky Smith. Glastonbudget is a festival that tries to cover all genres of music and rap and hip-hop have always been on the menu, which is good because there are some talented artists out there.<\/p>\n

\"The<\/a>
The Bombadiers at The Shed.

Also on the stage tonight were The Bombardiers<\/strong> and The Mininukes<\/strong>. Even though Bombardiers played at this year’s festival, they still had to audition for 2016. The Bombardiers played on the Libra stage this year and in our report we said<\/p>\n

Dripping with attitude, passion and entwined with emotion is how the programme described the music of The Bombardiers, a quartet formed in 2014 and based in Northamptonshire. They band auditioned for its festival slot at The Shed in February. [Music in Leicester<\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n

Similarly, The Mininukes<\/strong> also played at this year’s festival; we said<\/p>\n

Leicester-based punk\/ska band has a set of original songs and cheeky covers that feature bouncy riffs and catchy lyrics. The band performed at the OBS in March. [Music in Leicester<\/a>]<\/em><\/p>\n

\"Duffy's<\/a>
Duffy’s Bar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I left The shed and made my way across town to Duffy’s Bar<\/strong> in Pocklingtons Walk. I have been to this pub before – it’s a nice, comfortable place and the beer is good. I was there to see Aztec Temples<\/strong> (again.)<\/p>\n

\"Aztec<\/a>
Aztec Temples at Duffy’s Bar<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

I go to most of their gigs. This is a band that is going from strength to strength.\u00a0A succession of performances this year has brought them to the attention of music fans and they are attracting a following.\u00a0They are writing lots of new material and hope to get into the recording studio soon.<\/p>\n

Demons of Ruby Mae<\/strong><\/p>\n

at The Cookie<\/p>\n

with Megan Carlile, Prash Gor and The Vanishing Point<\/p>\n

\"Demons<\/a>

A remarkably good line-up;\u00a0 Luke Walker was also on it but had to withdraw due to a bad throat.\u00a0 We arrived too late to hear the set by Megan Carlile, which is a shame because I heard good things about her performance.<\/p>\n

\"Prash<\/a>
Prash Gor at The Cookie
Photo by Kevin Gaughan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Prash Gor<\/strong> performed on the main stage at the Simon Says… festival, so it was good to see him again tonight at The Cookie. Prash has a voice that is wonderfully evocative and an astute guitar technique; he delighted the audience with his songs and his anecdotes, with added a note of amusement to this performance. When his career started he was often a little nervous and insure of himself but now he comes across as a seasoned performer. Prash moved fluently from a moody ballad to a lively and jaunty song finishing with one of my favourite Gor songs Black<\/em>. An altogether impressive performance from an engaging artist.<\/p>\n

\"John<\/a>
John Molnar of The Vanishing Point at The Cookie

Two musicians were on stage for the set by The Vanishing Point<\/strong>. The Leicester duo started in 2012; John Molnar, providing vocals, guitar, bass and synth and Sid Barrett on drums, pads and vocals. Danny Greet is also a member of the group but he is away at the moment. On its Facebook page the band quotes its influences as LCD Soundsystem, The Stone Roses, Primal Scream, The Verve, Chemical Brothers and Underworld. so, you can image the robust sounds and incisive vocals that came from the stage. A set laden with rich rhythms and bursting beats they had the audience eating out of their hands.<\/p>\n

\"Jonny<\/a>
Jonny Gavin of Demons of Ruby Mae at The Cookie
Photo by Kevin Gaughan<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

A band that I have followed for some time is Demons of Ruby Mae<\/strong>; its lead singer Jonny Gavin is knew from his time with The Chairmen. Jonny began the first song with only minimal guitar chords from Adam Rowley; Jonny has one of the most impressive voices I have heard from a local artist; one of the power and strength of a an opera singer and he uses it with skill and ingenuity to colour his songs with lashings of emotion. The audience stood transfixed during the slow introduction to the first song. Then it took off as Jonny moved onto the drum kit at the front of the stage, while Adam provided the peddled guitar parts. For their second song they performed The Boy Who Cried Wolfe<\/em>, the title track from their EP of the same name.<\/p>\n

\"Demons<\/a>

Demons of Ruby Mae performed at the Y, in Leicester, in May 2013. Adrian Manning was at that show and he said
\nAll dressed in black, Demons take to the stage with the confidence and exuberance of a band playing much bigger venues. They are meatier and beatier than I recall and the word anthemic jumps into my mind when I hear some of the songs tonight. Revolving vocalists, full band and solo piano tracks plus the strings ensure a varied and impressive set. Opener Ribbons is rolling and crashing and sets the ball moving. The new single Beneath The Surface is great and well worth purchasing. Hope Is was performed beautifully with solo piano and the strings and the crowd were very happy to hear the wonderful, rousing Volcanic Mouth. Finishing their set with The Boy Who Cried Wolf it was evident that the local Leicester fans were impressed by tonight\u2019s set and with this level of ambition it\u2019s easy to imagine that Demons will go from strength to strength.<\/em> [Music in Leicester magazine<\/a>]<\/p>\n

Prior to that I was at the Concordia Theatre, in 2012, when the band headlined to a packed house. That was a memorable night, the like of which has rarely been equaled locally. As I said in my review of that night
\nSet high above the stage was Ruby Mae \u2013 a young lady dressed in a specially designed gown with an elaborate horned hair-style \u2013 who sat perfectly motionless throughout the whole set. She was the band\u2019s icon and when lead singer Jonny Gavin walked on stage \u2013 to a huge cheer from the crowd \u2013 the band launched into their opening song \u2018The Boy Who Cried Wolf\u2019.<\/em> [Music in Leicester<\/a>]<\/p>\n

I can remember that image vividly to this day. I went on to say
\nJonny Gavin started on the baby grand piano and introduced a new song which he sang with his great rich, powerful voice. Jonny and Adam Rowley took it in turns to play either the piano or guitar, both of them superbly good vocalists and excellent musicians<\/em>. [Music in Leicester<\/a>]<\/p>\n

The Boy Who Cried Wolfe<\/em> is a ballad of sumptuous drama and atmosphere. Jonny Gavin gave a stunning performance and, with Adam Rowley, they represent two of the most creative music artists in our local area and beyond. They have set the bar for creativity, a standard few other groups can reach. Their songs are very adept at building up dynamics and Jonny’s phrasing is crystal clear. he plies so much feeling into every phrase that he sings. The band has been on tour recently and last night they were at The Ruby Lounge\u00a0 in Manchester and before that London. They are a great credit to Leicester and to their home town of Hinckley. Tonight Demons gave us something that we very special.<\/p>\n

It was a mesmerising set of magical music, in an evening that gave us a line-up of highly talented artists.<\/p>\n

A feature of the tonight was it being invaded by a hen party and a TV camera crew who were filming them for a reality documentary.<\/p>\n

\"Aztec<\/a>
Aztec Temples at Sumo<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

My main reason for being there was to see Aztec Temples<\/strong>, the Leicester five-piece band that I am doing some work with. The Aztec’s have a good set of songs, compelling tunes and rich rhythms being the hallmark of what they do. With their two good front singers – Conor Simpson as lead, backed by Louis from the guitar – they provided a set of songs that rally worked, both the audience and me. The band performed some of their newer songs, including Places<\/em>, with its catchy breaks and Retreat<\/em>, with its lively, bouncing beats. Backed with sparkling guitar solos from Shay McDermott, they finished off their set with the enjoyable melodies of See you on the other side<\/em>.<\/p>\n

Find out more about Aztec Temples from their website<\/a><\/p>\n

I was glad to see Revival<\/strong>; the lead singer is Daz Lynch and the bassist is Joe Doyle. It was during their set that a crowd of girls in orange T-shirts arrived and, hopefully, Revival will get to be on the telly at some point. They gave us a good set of songs with strong ovals and plenty of ear-grabbing sounds. Daz Lynch told me that the band has spent a long time preparing for its launch gig; they wanted to make sure they got it right and by the looks of tonight, that approach has certainly paid off.<\/p>\n

Even though it was raining, I went to The Shed to see Small Pond Big Fish<\/strong>, The Budgie Smugglers<\/strong>, Flight15<\/strong> and IVMK<\/strong>. I missed Greystarr. It was my night off so I didn’t take notes but I remember everyone saying that Flight15’s set was particularly good.<\/p>\n

The Donkey<\/p>\n

with Michael Vickers, Chris Moody and Dexeter<\/p>\n

It is shameful that I do not go to The Donkey anything like as much as I should. It is a very nice and attractive venue that continually puts on good music. So, tonight I made a special effort to get there, especially as I wanted to see my old mate Mickey Vickers. An added bonus was that my friends Carlos Stien and Kevin Gaughan were also going. The Donkey is a legend on the Leicester music scene, having provided the city with live music since 2005.<\/p>\n

and when I saw him there I noted<\/p>\n

He had a vibrato in his voice that reminded me of Cat Stevens. His set list tended to be a bit down-beat but the addition of the harmonica lifted the performance at certain points. He sang with character and commitment but there were too many sad songs. He sang with his eyes closed for much of the \u00a0time, delivering feeling but unable to focus on the faces of his audience, suggesting he was singing at them rather than to them. [Arts in Leicester magazine] <\/em>Not a problem he had tonight I am pleased to say.<\/p>\n

Where the Indian ocean breaks on the shores of South West Australia comes band from the town of Perth. The Vans<\/strong> is an aspiring aural asset has come all the way to Leicester to play for us tonight.
