GC #92 - Hamell on Trial, Ruth Theodore & Little Strings on Friday 3rd May 2019


Hamell On Trial
Armed with a battered acoustic guitar that he amplifies mightily and strums like a machine gun, Hamell On Trial has a politically astute mind that can't stop moving, and a mouth that can be profane one minute and profound the next, his caustic wit and devil-may-care attitude has long been a favourite of anti-establishment icons Aesop Rock, Kimya Dawson, and has toured extensively with folk legend Ani DiFranco.
His performances invoke thoughts of the great, rebellious satirists and social commentators of the past: Lenny Bruce, Richard Pryor and Bill Hicks. There's no way around his obscenity but in that is a willingness to fight for the free thinkers of the world.

'Bald, bold and superbad!' - ​
Rolling​ ​Stone ​magazine

Ruth Theodore
Ruth Theodore f​ascinates audiences with her gripping honesty and distinctive lyricism. With a fistful of unconventional guitar tunings, Ruth’s ability to move deliberately between pacey political passages of stomping slide guitar, to moments of disarming humility and beauty, is that of a skilled writer in command of, and having fun with, the idea of contemporary songwriting. Starting her career as a busker Ruth has gone on to perform alongside many great international artists including numerous performances with aforementioned political folk icon Ani DiFranco at the London Palladium and Union Chapel, Dar Williams, Jane Siberry, Jeff Lang, Chastity Brown and Rory McLeod.

Little Strings Music - Clare
Little Strings, now based in Glasgow is a popular performer on the Carlisle scene, with her fascinating ukulele originals. Her self-titled EP was released in 2017 and features bittersweet pop songs. Clare crafts story-telling into her songcraft , all delivered with the vocal of a proper Welsh valley-girl.
