Doors 7:30pm Show 8:00pm
The Magic Lantern is the moniker of singer-songwriter and composer Jamie Doe, an artist blurring the boundaries between folk, jazz and contemporary music. Born in Australia before moving to the UK at 12, The Magic Lantern has released four full length albums and toured the UK, Europe and Australia alongside This Is The Kit, Sam Lee and Alabaster Deplume among others.
His upcoming fifth album ’To Everything A Season’ was written and recorded in the months following his daughters birth and his fathers death six weeks later. In their brief meeting in a dementia nursing home, two ends of the circle of life touched. Of that cathartic moment, Jamie says 'I saw myself in my father, and my daughter in me and I felt joy and grief in overlapping waves, beautiful and complicated, which continue to ripple outward' These songs are my attempt to make sense of this incredible time - ‘A time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up that which is planted’
Working with an ensemble drawn from London's thriving alternative jazz scene, The Magic Lantern's live show captures a rich emotional immediacy through spirited improvisation, taught ensemble writing and Jamie’s arresting vocal lyricism to craft songs that examine the limitless depth of the human experience with devastating, joyous results.
Plus support from Little Clouds
Little Clouds are Emily-Rose Sharkova & Nick Henderson, who believe that complex feelings are nearly always better sung and accompanied by guitar, piano, banjo, synths, accordion, bass and mandolin (not all at the same time). Hear lofty afternoon inspired hits and introspective midnight bangers, laced with clever lyrics and sweet chords that make you feel real good. And let's be honest - we are all in it for the feelings.
Little Clouds released their debut studio album 'Quiet Life' in January 2024, and musicians they admire said 'the ultimate summer album of 2024' and 'definitely one of the top tier contemporary folk/pop acoustic albums of last few years. The perfect balance of superb, relatable songwriting, incredible recording and production, amazing playing and somehow diverse but coherent album about the dichotomy of the "big"/quiet life which rings deep for musicians'.
We all need to let go once in a while. Come float with Little Clouds.
