 Harmonica player Brendan Power is the guest on Friday June 27th, 8.30pm, at the Ram Folk Club, Old Cranleighan Club, Portsmouth Road, Thames Ditton, Surrey KT7 0HB.Brendan Power, UK-based but originally from New Zealand, is a complete virtuoso of the harmonica in all of its forms and genres. An All-Ireland Champion, and previously with the touring ‘Riverdance’ show, and an innovator and improviser of the first order, Brendan Power won this year’s (with melodeon player Tim Edey) BBC Radio 2 Folk Award for 'Best Duo'. If you think a bloke playing a harmonica couldn't possibly hold an audience for an evening then think again, for with the aid of a variety of gizmos, beat-boxing and live looping he creates his own Folk orchestra and backing vocals as he goes, performing soaring tunes and songs over the top. He also designs and makes harmonicas, often in tunings to allow him to play what he likes! Sting, Kate Bush, Van Morrison, James Galway, Paul Young, John Williams, Mary Black - he's played with them all and many more. |
