Rosh + Rebecca Spooner
May 1 @ 8:00 pm - 10:00 pm
ROSH is a Sheffield based jazz -folk group based around singer-songwriter Roshan Lal. With their intricate orchestration, jazz-inflected rhythms and multi-layer harmonies they create a sound both fragile and beautiful yet full of energy and invention.
‘Beautiful stuff… warm folk music’ – BBC Introducing
“Intimate and warm not to mention fantastically talented” – Sydney and Matilda
Rebecca Spooner’s ruminative, contemporary folk songs lie somewhere between folk and pop – honest, a bit scruffy, and homemade,they’re sometimes sad, sometimes optimistic but always truthful. The quiet confidence of her storytelling and broad versatility of her acoustic guitar technique make her a local talent which is ready to soar.
“folk-led sentiments expressed through a buoyant pop vernacular bringing to mind the haziest shades of Suzanna Vega or the melodious jangle of Fairground Attraction” – Dirty Sunbeams
“Raw, intimate, and unafraid to sit with emotional discomfort, Rebecca Spooner is often reminiscent to the talents of Joni Mitchell and Laura Marling” – Amazing Radio
