Misplaced Music (North) presents a musical recital by

Al Duvall
Sycamore Smith
Maia

Al Duvall comes as if transported in time from a 1920s New York speakeasy, a relic from a bygone era both in the playing style and the quaint comedy-folk wordplay. For fans of old time,ragtime, sea shanty, Victorian parlour and jug band. Al has had records out on V/VM and Dual Plover.

Complete with derby hat, guitar, and gold-plated resonator kazoo Sycamore Smith writes folk songs in an old-fashioned, vaudevillian rural style; songs about heroes and swindlers having adventures that are at times triumphant and other times melancholic.

Maia is as if Antony Hegarty was re-imagined as a slip of a Wakefield lad brandishing a ukulele, with banjo and drum as support. Keen observers will see or hear something of the Beirut and David Thomas Broughton in the rustic clatter..
