A fusion of submersive fx laden sax and trumpets, infectious beats, killer bass lines and collective spontaneity Get The Blessing produce incredibly infectious and compelling music. For this festival special Clive Deamer is replaced by Dave Smith, best known for his six years touring and recording with Robert Plant and the Sensational Space Shifters. “at last, a noisy, thrashy post-jazz combo that sounds like a proper band” - The Independent “Excellent, Unmissable” - Jazz Journal Temperate Red - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lFAMMBqEd9c Not With Standing - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=32W8IXl22t0 www.gettheblessing.bandcamp.com/music FFO GoGo Penguin, Portishead, Radiohead, Ishmael Ensemble, Yazz Ahmed, Mammal Hands Dilettante (Solo Show) Francesca Pidgeon (Voice / Guitar / Saxophone / Keys / Percussion / Looper and FX) Dilettante is the art-pop brain-child of multi-instrumentalist Francesca Pidgeon. Based in the North of England but now performing across the UK and internationally Dilettante has supported the likes of Caribou, Self Esteem + Philip Selway (Radiohead) with her unorthodox but intricately woven looped woodwind and fuzzy guitar licks. Dilettante is one of the most exciting acts to have emerged in Northern UK in recent years. With music steeped in modern history, in one moment she conjures up images of great new wave bands such as Talking Heads, then flipped in a moment she’s a skewed modern jazz crooner. Perhaps sometimes comparable with other incredible contemporary stylists that includes Cate Le Bon, Dana Gavanski and Lael Neale, but also completely unique to them and very much carving out her own artistic vision.Dilettante has performed on a number of occasions in Newcastle upon Tyne, including last years Newcastle Festival of Jazz and Improvised Music collaboration with Generator for the Mercury Music Prize. “A dazzlingly skewed pop-vision” **** - MOJO “Groove-laden misfit art-pop worth rooting for“ - Uncut Surrogate Lover (Official Music Video) - https://youtu.be/f4Q5azAhbwM Keep Time (Official Music Video) - https://youtu.be/VDAFyoC3us8 Big Fish (Official Music Video) - https://youtu.be/QP5aQp0yhhc www.dilettantesongs.bandcamp.com/ FFO St Vincent, tUnE-yArDs, Dirty Projectors + Fiona Apple An absolutely incredible and unmissable double bill making up the second concert for this years NFOJAiM… just get to this gig, you won’t regret it! www.newcastlefestivalofjazzandimprovisedmusic.co.uk Presented by Newcastle Festival of Jazz and Improvised Music alongside Jazz North East
