About the show
No introduction required here really but for the uninitiated, Louisa Jones is the London-Berlin-Glasgow based singer-song writer of Whiskey Moon Face. John Sim who lives off the Irish West Coast inspired her to learn accordion, Dakota Jim the double bass, and decades earlier Deborah from next door, the piano. She also plays wonky cornet, clarinet and has an interest in writing songs in badly written Russian, German and Italian. Her duo partner on this gig will be Bristol based jazz aficionado and multi-instrumentalist Joseph Trudgeon.
Featuring
Whiskey Moon Face
To describe Whiskey Moonface as an alternative folk group doesn't even begin to do justice to the breadth of inspiration and style in their music. Based around double bass (Dakota Jim), accordion (Louisa Jones) and clarinet (Ewan Bleach), they're led by Jones' superb vocals and hallucinatory lyrics. Capable of being both ear-to-ear-grinningly entertaining and profoundly moving, they combine elements of old-time New Orleans jazz, Eastern Europe folk music, the baroque/ chamber folk styles of the likes of Sufjan Stevens and Beirut, and the bacchanalian spirit of Tom Waits with their own unique take on contemporary roots music to make for a superbly realised, truly beautiful, and utterly original sound. There is simply no-one in the UK making music like Whiskey Moonface.
