Charlie Hannah Album Launch

Margate based multi-instrumentalist and prolific songwriter/record producer Charlie Hannah returns with his fifth solo record, _Thames Estuary Blue_. The man who coined the micro-genre 'Domestica', Charlie now carves out new territory in a new sub-sub-genre - 'rock 'n' scroll' - music to zone out to on headphones while scrolling social media. The title is an homage to the Beach Boys' Dennis Wilson's massive solo record _Pacific Ocean Blue._ While Wilson's record echoes the magnitude of the body of water from which it takes its name, Hannah's album is a an introverted, post-internet, small-town, British response to it. The album has smatterings of humour a la Ray Davies/Magnetic Fields, but the songs are sincere and heartfelt, without irony, and there's a prevailing melancholy to the album... this being the artist's 'Blue Period', naturally. Charlie will be backed up by his all-star supergroup The Industry Plants featuring Rev Menniss on bass, Chris Brown on guitar, Xav Clarke on drum pads and Clementine Blue on backig vocals. The Maharees (Ian M. Hale and Aoife Duffin) are a powerhouse folk/rock acoustic duo. Incredible songwriting talents and voices that blend together beautifully. Recordermania (Rosie Carr) will be debuting her 'Tudor Gaze' set. Think people in Tudor ruffs through an 80s glitch aesthetic. Ambient, hauntological, hypnagogic, Hildegard von Basinkski
