Britain's What's On Event Guide
Grayshott Folk Club welcomes back: HARP & a MONKEY
The unique and evocative work of Martin Purdy (vocals, glockenspiel, accordion, harmonica and keyboards), Simon Jones (harp, guitar, viola) and Andy Smith (banjo, melodica, guitar and programming) is imbued with a deep Lancashire sensibility that shines through in their beautifully-crafted and sometimes spooky vignettes of life, love and remembrance.
From original compositions to traditional songs, the outfit, who have been friends for more than 20 years, channel the ghosts of summers spent in municipal parks and winters walking on the moors. Ask them about their influences and they are as likely to cite Ordnance Survey maps and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission as they are Chris Wood, Bjork, Ewan MacColl or The Oldham Tinkers.
Harp & a Monkey are a versatile collective which includes international award-winning artists, animators and storytellers in their ranks and they've been commissioned to undertake bespoke song-writing, soundtrack, film and public/community art projects for leading universities, museums and TV companies, as well as a wide range of other cultural bodies.
Above all, Harp & a Monkey are great entertainers who will carry you along with them on a musical journey to meet the good, the bad and the ugly.............
