Daylight Music 377 | PRAH Recordings: Donna Thompson, Yama Warashi & NiCKY | https://buytickets.at/arcticcircle/1345323
This Autumn, we find ourselves entering once more the enchanting space of The Hot Tin in Faversham, a venue that just celebrated its 139th Birthday! Once upon a time the space was a church, then a school gym, scout hut, camping shop, printers and commercial wood joiners. Now it's a thriving grassroots music venue for the local community. In early September we are working with PRAH Recordings to create a unique intimate piano-focused show across three distinct acts.
Donna Thompson's music swirls around you where cinematic jazz meets meditative R&B - soulful melodies and effortlessly charming hooks come together in honest pure pop moments. On her debut EP on PRAH Something True she grapples with the importance of self-love, of community and the strength found within oneself and others. Within her music the message to remember is to just breathe, be thankful and exist in the present.
NiCKY is a composer, pianist, and singer. The tragicomic love child of east London’s queer performance scene and Zippos Circus, their intimate live sets are heart-rendering yet irreverent. They takes influence from Anhoni, Elton John and Perfume Genius, exploring queer love, liminality and tales of characters from the road. Characterised by a quiet solitude, they carve new territories within intentional, performative queer storytelling and songwriting.
The Japanese artist Yoshino Shigihara had been based in Bristol ever since co-founding the now defunct fusion punk collective Zun Zun Egui. Since then she blossomed on her own across more meditative but no less territorially transcendent records as Yama Warashi for PRAH. Yoshino has always had a sense of wanderlust – her aim is to keep an open ear and absorb everything that she can before returning it back out into the world through her music.
Not only a birthday for the venue, but PRAH Recordings itself has also just marked its 10th anniversary of releasing esoteric music into the world. And our daytime series continues in its teenage years at we turn 15, so there is plenty to celebrate!
‘We are big fans of Daylight Music so having the chance to get three PRAH artists together at a great venue with a real piano for a proper daytime show is something of a thrill for us, we can't wait’ – Stephen (PRAH)
Further event details: Pay-What-You-Can entry in advance or on the door (we suggest £12 per adult), subject to availability/capacity. An event for all ages. As always with this series we endeavour to make our audience feel as safe, comfortable and welcome as we possibly can.
