Gianna Nannini: un'esplosione rock
Capostipite del rock italiano al femminile, nonché per anni unica rockeuse nostrana da esportazione, musicista eclettica forgiata da sette anni di studi al Conservatorio, Gianna Nannini ha attraversato quarantanni di canzoni conquistando più generazioni di fan e riuscendo a restare a galla senza mai snaturare il suo stile, pur evolutosi negli anni dal rock irruento e dalle produzioni internazionali degli esordi verso un cantautorato altrettanto sanguigno, ma molto più morbido e accessibile.
Gianna Nannini: a rock explosion
Founder of Italian rock for women, as well as for years the only local export rockeuse, eclectic musician forged from seven years of study at the Conservatory, Gianna Nannini has gone through forty years of songs conquering more fans than she managed to stay afloat without ever distorting the old style, although evolved over the years from the impetuous rock and the international productions of the beginning towards an equally sanguine songwriting, but much softer and more accessible.
"Trionfo della Morte" a Pisa sul palco di Piazza Cavalieri - Università, Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa
Tedesco di nascita (Hannover, 14 dicembre 1965), irpino d'origine (il padre, Vito, è di Calitri, la madre, Antonietta, di Andretta) ed emiliano d'adozione (tra Reggio, Parma e Modena), Vinicio Capossela ha conosciuto la dura gavetta dell'emigrante, facendo del randagismo una filosofia di vita.
Miglior cantautore italiano della sua generazione, Vinicio Capossela è ormai un menestrello onnivoro e globale, che ha assorbito suoni e culture di ogni angolo del mondo.
“Ballate per uomini e bestie” è un’opera di grande forza espressiva che guarda alle pestilenze del nostro presente travolto dalla corruzione del linguaggio, dal neoliberismo, dalla violenza e dal saccheggio della natura. In un’epoca in cui il mondo occidentale sembra affrontare un nuovo medioevo inteso come sfiducia nella cultura e nel sapere e smarrimento del senso del sacro, Capossela sceglie di pubblicare un canzoniere che, evocando un medioevo fantastico fatto di bestie estinte, creature magiche, cavalieri erranti, fate e santi, mette in mostra le similitudini e il senso di attualità che lo legano profondamente alle cronache dell’oggi.
"Il racconto e il canto divengono strumento per tentare un riavvicinamento al sacro e alle bestie, indispensabile punto di accesso al mistero della natura, anche umana".

"Triumph of Death" in Pisa on the stage of Piazza Cavalieri - University, Scuola Normale Superiore di Pisa
German by birth (Hanover, 14 December 1965), originally from Irpinia (his father, Vito, is from Calitri, his mother, Antonietta, from Andretta) and an Emilian by adoption (between Reggio, Parma and Modena), Vinicio Capossela has known the hard apprenticeship of the emigrant, making stray dogs a life philosophy.
Best Italian singer-songwriter of his generation, Vinicio Capossela is now an omnivorous and global minstrel, who has absorbed sounds and cultures from every corner of the world.
"Ballads for men and beasts" is a work of great expressive power that looks at the plagues of our present overwhelmed by the corruption of language, neoliberalism, violence and the plundering of nature. In an era in which the western world seems to face a new Middle Ages understood as a distrust of culture and knowledge and loss of the sense of the sacred, Capossela chooses to publish a songbook that, evoking a fantastic Middle Ages made of extinct beasts, magical creatures, knights wandering, fairies and saints, it shows the similarities and the sense of actuality that binds him deeply to the chronicles of today.
"The story and the song become an instrument to attempt a rapprochement with the sacred and the beasts, an indispensable access point to the mystery of nature, even human".

Sei nell’anima
E lì ti lascio per sempre
Sospeso
Immobile
Fermo immagine
Un segno che non passa mai.
(Sei nell’anima)
Nasce a Siena nel 1954 e dagli anni Ottanta è una delle voci italiane più conosciute nel rock internazionale.

You are in the soul
And there I leave you forever
Suspended

Freeze frame
A sign that never goes away.

27th April 2019 - Newton Faulkner arrived on most peoples radar when he covered Massive Attacks "Teardrops", but there is so much more to this singer and musician. Here he is performing to his adoring fans (and giving me the staredown) at Liverpools O2 Academy..

I've been looking around awhile
For someone like you
And I knew when I saw you smile
No one else would do
Oh baby, I've been looking for you
Maybe, you've been looking too
Baby, now no one else will do
Except you..

A black-and-white capture of singer-songwriter Karel Jongejan in full flow during his performance at a Zeeland festival. There's something timeless about watching a young artist channel the spirit of the '60s and '70s while weaving in his own original voice.
If you’re into heartfelt lyrics, warm retro tones, and a hint of nostalgia, check him out on Instagram: @karel_jongejan

beneath the open roof of estadio metropolitano, ed sheeran stood alone in the round — a single voice against the roar of fifty thousand. the air shimmered with light and rhythm, a tidal wave of music rising from the madrid night. bodies moved like breath, arms raised in unison, each soul tethered by melody. this wasn’t just a concert — it was a shared heartbeat, a modern mass sung in verses and echoes.
He's a better singer than I am, but his brother Kodi just farted a pretty tune (two in a row!), so he may have some competition.
Jesus, that stinks.

13th July 2019 - The best photo opportunity of the 'Deeper Cuts' festival on Seel Street had to be this delightfully esoteric and androgynous performer at Liverpool's 'Kazimier Gardens'
27th April 2019 - Relative newcomer Charlotte has a voice that is a pure weapon and here she is at the O2 Academy, Liverpool in support of Newton Faulkner..

3rd August 2019- Amber Lane-McIvor of Manchester based 'Ambiere' brought a chilled ambient vibe to Jimmy's in Liverpool, partly due to the lack of a Drummer at the last minute. Despite an oddly placed position in the band order on the day, these guys manged to captivate an early audience that were mainly here for the Post Punk Indie vibe that was the mainstay of Jimmy's first alldayer in Liverpool..
22nd August 2019 - Starting with the photography conditions... Two diffused Red spots and a smoke machine.. great!! I have a Canon 7D mkII, which is a crop sensor sport camera coupled with a L series 70-200mm F2.8 so every shot is at 6400iso in this light, bring the noise... After much googling i came across a jolt from the past (2012) and Googles free download of the Nik Collection. This PS install is a gift from the Gods themselves for low light photographers that can't afford a full frame camera... Install it and have a play with 'dfine2', wow!!
Peter Broderick.. Looks like Nick Cave, but sings like Neil Young. Plus, he plays multiple instruments to multiple genres. Folk, Disco, Funk, Blues.. Nothing is beyond this young Americans grasp. Tonight it was the eternal spring of the late Arthur Russel's back catalogue of 'Disillusioned Idealism', a vast treasure trove of unfinished goods. Plus Arthur Russel helped create Sleeping Bag Records of the underground classic Kariya 'Baby Let Me Love You For Tonight' fame.
A treasure chest I for one cvan't wait to hear more from
9th August 2019 - Stockport raised 'Rory Wynne' performing at another quality event at Jimmy's on Bold Street in Liverpool. This lad has had some scathing reviews, but he pulled it all together on the night and played an exceptional gig. The name may not be familiar to most, but he's producers recently have included members of The Coral and Blossoms, He also appeared in the last series of 'Cold Feet'.

4th July 2019 - Basque born, but Liverpool based lo-fi electronic rock duo 'Evil Pink Machine' brought their Pyschadelic tinged musical meandarings to the 'Happy Accidents' first anniversary's birthday bash at the Jacaranda's 'Phase 1' facility on Seel Street in Liverpool.
