SUMMARY:Bhajan Bhoy + ADRA
DESCRIPTION:Bhajan Bhoy (Netherlands)Dutch musician Ajay Saggar creates psychedelic kosmiche raga electronic soundscapes and guitar heaviness. Presenting new album Bhoy On The Wire!\nhttps://bhajanbhoy.bandcamp.com/\n\nADRAAndy Abbott looped acoustic instruments ambient music for psychiatric wards\nhttps://andyabbott.bandcamp.com/…/music-for-psychiatric…\n\nFREE ENTRY with donations for acts gratefully accepted.\n—– Further Info ——\nBhajan BhoyDrawing from a deep well of psychedelia\, Bhajan Bhoy further shifts the parameters of the genre with a beautiful and meditative set of tracks. Within this kaleidoscopic sonic universe\, you will find raga-esque excursions\, meditative Dream House drone\, Laurel Canyon-recalling folk\, electronic soundscapes and heavy guitar riffola (sometimes two chords are enough!). This is the sound of freedom! Imagine Pandit Pran Nath\, Spacemen 3\, Pauline Oliveros and Don Cherry drinking psilocybin tea and letting loose in a studio.\n“a unique soundworld broad enough to encompass wild psych-noise guitar\, dream-pop lullabies\, and futuristic drones with thrilling results” / Mojo Magazine\n“With BHAJAN BHOY\, Saggar synthesizes all of the stylistic approaches he’s explored over the years\, swirling them into an intoxicating musical blend\, with an earthy spirituality. Even the project’s name reflects the dual aspects of Saggar’s upbringing coming together in harmony. In Hindi\, a “bhajan” is a devotional song\, sung in the mandir\, or temple\, while “bhoy” is a Scottish and Irish derivation for a young man. There’s a searching quality to Bhajan Bhoy\, as if Saggar is still hunting for transcendence with each track\, whether through an expansive drone\, an orchestral facility on the piano\, or an electronics-augmented raga that threatens to dip into noise” (Erick Bradshaw / writer and WFMU DJ).\nThis album presents a rich and varied set of compositions that showcase Saggar’s skills as an incredibly talented and accomplished composer and musician. With each and every Bhajan Bhoy LP\, you are are carried to a higher place. With ‘Bhoy On The Wire’\, the 35 minutes laid out unfolds like a cosmic tapestry\, an extraordinary exploration that shimmers and reverberates with newfound vibrancy. The songs were broadcast as part of a session on Steve Barker’s “On The Wire” radio show in April 2024. They were a gift to Steve and his team for 40 years of broadcasting. “On The Wire” is simply the greatest radio show in the world. As Ajay explains in his own words :\n“In September 1984\, I started a degree course at the University of Lancaster. On a wet and soggy Sunday afternoon towards the end of September\, I sat in my room staring out at the grey Lancashire landscape\, and decided to alleviate the boredom by seeing if there was anything to listen to on the radio. Most of the stations I tuned into were as dull as the weather outside. However\, as I neared the end of the FM dial (and was about to give up hope)\, I chanced upon a station where I was taken by the music being played. That show was “On The Wire”\, introduced by Steve Barker. From there on in\, every Sunday\, between 2-5pm\, I tuned into Radio Lancashire to listen. Steve’s shows had an incredible and wide reaching selection of music and genres\, that thrilled your ears and left you wanting more. Tied to that\, his deep knowledge of the material he played helped the listener dig into the sounds even more\, and also left you in admiration of this trait. In 1985\, I started putting on DIY shows in Lancaster (inviting the likes of Bog-Shed\, bIG fLAME\, The Membranes\, The Wedding Present\, etc etc) and Steve was kind enough to mention the shows on-air\, which helped in getting people from different parts of the county to come to the shows. At the tail-end of 1985\, he invited me to the studio to come and hang out. When in 1988\, the group I was in\, Dandelion Adventure\, released our first (demo) cassette\, it was Steve\, who not only played tracks off it\, but invited the group to the studio for an interview. Now if you’re a young band\, that is a massive thrill! And in 1990\, when Dandelion Adventure did a John Peel session\, I actually used “On The Wire” jingles (that Steve had put on a cassette and given to me a few years before) on the track “All the World’s A Lounge”. Since then\, the show has been a mainstay for me\, and so many others around the world\, to get turned onto incredible sounds from around the world. And over the course of 40 years\, Steve has always supported my music. These six tracks are a 40th birthday gift to the “On The Wire” team (Steve\, Michael “Fenny” Fenton (an absolutely critical part of the show)\, and Jim Ingham (engineer who keeps the technical side of things going)) for sharing so much amazing music\, and making the world a better place. They were originally broadcast as an exclusive session in April 2024 on “On The Wire”\, and are here for your listening pleasure. Music like shower”.

SUMMARY:The Silver Reserve & Andrew Smith (aka The Celtic Harper)
DESCRIPTION:The Silver Reserve\nMatthew Sturgess\, who performs as ‘The Silver Reserve’\, plays delicate\, sparse music on a classical guitar\, crafting intricate melodies around thoughtful and evocative lyrics. At times creating dense\, layered atmospherics\, this is music that doesn’t rush and takes its sweet\, sad time to unfurl and sneak under the skin.�\n“I have fallen in love with The Silver Reserve. Songs of warmth and beauty that scratch at the inside of your heart. In a world that sits heavy on your chest\, this is music that reminds you how to breathe.’ Thea Gilmore (Cooking Vinyl)�\n�”Beautiful\, fragmentary songs which slowly dismantle you.” Seamus Fogarty (Domino Records/Fence Collective)\n“The Silver Reserve is beautiful as fuck and funny as fuck and beautiful as fuck.” Kathryn Joseph (Rock Action Records)\nwww.thesilverreserve.com\nAndrew Smith AKA The Celtic Harper\nAndrew Smith is a harpist based in Glastonbury who writes beautiful gothic folk songs about the human spirit. Some of the songs are about folklore\, and others are about stories of courage\, healing\, and survival.\nAndrew’s music is enriched with the complex\, dark emotional worlds of the people he writes about\, be they real or imagined\, and from the Celtic landscape. Andrew layers his songs with beautiful rhythms and progressions\, tapping into the full potential of the harp\, but way differently to how you may have expected.\nMusically\, Andrew had a classical training in the harp through Ruth Faber and Lauren Scott. His songs are influenced by the likes of John Martyn and Nick Cave\, but his harp compositions are influenced by classical harp composers such as John Thomas and Eire Lynn Jones. Andrew is releasing his debut studio album in Easter\, 2025.\nwww.thecelticharper.com

DESCRIPTION:This is a pay as you feel event – please be generous if you can.\nThe Sylvie Rose Quintet\nSylvie Rose\, flute\, vocalsAnton Hunter\, guitarAdam Fairhall\, keysRichard Young\, drumsStuart Eastham\, bass.\nSylvie\, a long-term collaborator with Brazilian musicians\, based here in the UK and in Brazil itself has composed and arranged all tonight’s music. while there are musical influences from that continent\, we can expect heady\, heavy Brazilian grooves with vocals here and there in the mix.\nSylvie Rose first appeared at the Puzzle during August 2024 when she brought her band Music do Brazil\, (Music of Brazil) to play on one of our “Summer Sunday” afternoon gigs. The music that day was a veritable melange of traditional rhythms and melodies from Brazil and other South American countries. It certainly went down well\, with over a hundred people outside enjoying the whole afternoon.\nIt’s these unusual confluences which make Sylvie’s music uniquely compelling.\n\nFor those who may be unsure of the public transport situations\, here are some useful details…\nTrains:If you’re travelling towards Halifax / Bradford / Leeds\, the last train leaves Sowerby Bridge at 00.05.If you’re travelling up the Calder Valley\, and onwards to Manchester\, the last train leaves Sowerby Bridge at 23.23.Please allow 15 minutes to walk from the pub to the station\, and please check\, on the day of travel\,that the times have not changed\, or that strike actions are being planned.Bus:There’s a 579 bus to Halifax that leaves Station Road at 23.48\, just a few minutes’ walk from the Pub\,however\, give yourself plenty of time\, as it’s the last bus\, it can be pretty sharp in setting off.

SUMMARY:Crosscut Saw
DESCRIPTION:In a world full of media hype what can be said about Crosscut Saw……\n\n\nIndividually and as a band\, they have a solid musical pedigree\, having steeped themselves in the recordings and traditions of a great musical heritage\, they have worn the boards in countless venues for many years.\n\n\nA Crosscut Saw gig is a hoodoo rollercoaster of pure primeval power. No hype\, no image\, no posturing\, no deception\, just true alchemy. No two performances are ever the same\, even the musicians themselves don’t know what potent brew will be cooked up.\n\n\nCrosscut Saw are a three-piece blues band from Yorkshire\, England consisting of Alex Eden – guitar\, harmonica and vocals\, Richard Ferdinando – drums and Richard Green – bass guitar.\n\n\n“You have to be there in the moment\, you have to feel it.”\n\n\n“I can say this\, they’re incredibly rare\, they’re the real deal.”\n\n\nTheir 2018 EP release “José” features all original material and features Patrick Wells on harmonica and joining Alex on vocals.\n\n\nwww.crosscutsaw.co.uk

SUMMARY:Mums + Callis
DESCRIPTION:Mums (Hex records)Loud melodic hook-laden sludge-rock trio a la Melvins / Karp / Cherubshttps://hexrecords.bandcamp.com/album/mums-legs\nCallis High-energy post-punk trio from Todmorden in a Joy Division / Sonic Youth / The Cure vein https://callisssss.bandcamp.com/track/summer-bones\nplus DJ Clean Shirt (Love Gun / Sex Beat) spinning post punk recs into the night\nat Puzzle Hall Inn\, 21 Hollins Mill Lane\, Sowerby Bridge\, HX6 2RF 8pm – 10pm (live music) with DJs til lateFREE ENTRY with donations for bands gratefully accepted. Live music done in time for trains back to Leeds / Manc.\n— Further Info —\nMums\nThe narrative of Mums began in the crowded hallways of high school\, where Jack and Roanne Evans found mutual resonance in the tumultuous sounds of alternative rock and its heavier\, wilder cousins. This was not just any serendipitous meeting\, for it was the birthplace of an aural venture first christened ‘Aeroplane Flies High‘. However\, like many bands\, identities morphed\, sounds matured\, and from the cocoon emerged Mums—stronger\, sharper\, and infinitely more cacophonous.With their sound pushed its own boundaries\, Mums drive deeper into the realm of identifiable riffs and catchy vocal lines\, while ensuring the feedback always threatened to shatter the speakers.\nTheir 2016 album “Land Of Giants” was nothing short of audacity encapsulated in vinyl. It teetered on the edge of auditory anarchy\, yet never quite lost its balance.Touring the shores of the UK and beyond\, Mums continued their quest for sonic perfection\, establishing an insatiable audience that thrived on decibel-driven debauchery.\nWith their newest offering\, “Legs“\, Mums doesn’t just make a statement of return; they craft a sonic tapestry that spans their entire journey. From songs echoing their nascent days to fresher compositions borne out of Jonny’s inclusion\, the album is a reflection of growth. And to add a touch of the serendipitous\, during its recording\, the Mums family was poised to welcome a new member\, with a baby Mum marking their presence in utero.\nIntending to parallel the fervour of “Land Of Giants“\, yet infuse more refined songwriting and an immersive auditory experience\, Mums ensured every note\, every riff\, every beat resonated just as they envisioned.\nWith an imminent release through Hex Records in the U.S. and Society Of Losers Records across Europe\, “Legs” stands ready to storm the alternative scene. It’s a testament to the indomitable spirit of rock.\nhttps://idioteq.com/thick-riffed-rockers-mums-premiere…/\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9m93fy_btyo\nCallis\n‘Alternative\, heavy-hitters and DIY to the core\, Callis’ true northern work ethic\, filled with grit and fueled with a passion for independent art has seen them self-organise shows in the capital\, curate their own artwork\, handmake merchandise and even catch the attention of Strokes producer\, Gordon Raphael. Attending a Callis live performance is similar to accidentally joining a cult. After the first couple of songs\, the audience will find themselves in the middle of something\, wondering how they got there.’\nhttps://dirtysunbeams.com/…/loud-fast-and-spacey-meet…/
