SUMMARY:The Fugitives
DESCRIPTION:“Despite their all-acoustic lineup\, the Fugitives bring enough energy to the stage to light up a small city……The East Van quartet conjures up a sound that’s like the missing link between Leonard Cohen\, the Pogues\, and the immortal Shorty Shitstain.” \n— Georgia Straight \nThe Fugitives perform as a dynamic modern folk quartet\, with 4-part harmony and a variety of instruments (guitar\, bass\, kick-drum\, banjo\, violin\, balalaika and harmonica). We jump from foot-stomping sing-alongs to show-stopping a capella ballads to insightful political and storytelling songs. We’re also known to bring down the house with our repartee and banter. The Georgia Straight writes\, “Despite their all-acoustic lineup\, the Fugitives bring enough energy to the stage to light up a small city… The East Vancouver quartet conjures up a sound that’s like the missing link between Leonard Cohen and the Pogues”; AmericanaUK says\,“This is classic songwriting with a conscience”; and the CBC writes\, “This show is simply brilliant”.\n​ \nThe Fugitives EPK

SUMMARY:Vocal Workshop with Sara Colman and Rebecca Nash
DESCRIPTION:Sara Colman and Rebecca Nash are both very experienced educators and they will be hosting a vocal group workshop during the Saturday afternoon (24th October) before performing at Hermon Chapel in the evening. This is for group participation and will involve learning two songs with harmony by ear (3 parts at least!) These will lean very heavily towards jazz and on the journey to learning these songs\, you will get to experience some of the jazz fundamentals including finding the best way to engage with the specific rhythmic nuances of swing and some Latin feels too! \nThis will be fun and low pressure although you will be invited to improvise for short passages (8 bars) if you fancy having a go….with guidance and encouragement…..and a no judgement environment!

SUMMARY:Blue Lantern Session: Mark Radcliffe & Co Christmas Special
DESCRIPTION:Blue Lantern Session\n\nMark Radcliffe & Company \n\nRadco hit The Hermon this December for a night of music\, mischief\, and mild chaos. Don’t miss it!\nIt’s the Blue Lantern at the Hermon Christmas Special!\nJoin BBC Radio’s Mark Radcliffe and friends (and foes) for a genial meander through twenty-five years of music by his previous bands: The Family Mahone\, Foes and Galleon Blast. The Mahones played their first gig in 1998 since when Mark and his largely Chester-based musical chums have plied their dubious trade in several line-ups which\, in all honesty\, have all been quite similar.\n\nThis performance picks out songs from their less-than-illustrious back catalogue for a\nrelaxed\, age-appropriate re-appraisal. In the bastardised words of Fred Pontin (one for the teenagers): ‘book early to ensure disappointment’.\nTickets are likely to fly\, so grab yours now before they go!\n\nDon’t miss the chance to experience this very special Chrstimas Blue Lantern show in the intimate surroundings of Hermon Chapel this October.
