Hansom Pilot
Local lad Ant Chalmers return to Leicester with his
band Hansom Pilot to play the Mercury Showcase at the Charlotte on
April 25.
Foxy and fantastic, they have been described by the
Evening Standard as "Sexy, charismatic and fun, exactly what British
music needs." Expect rock music with sing along choruses and plenty
of on-stage chemistry.
New Jamie Says
video
Staying with Sorted Records, you can check out the
video of up-and-coming Leicester duo Jamie Says performing their
song Rebecca on the label’s site.
The great guitar hooks will get inside your head
and stay there for weeks. Their single ‘Down to the debauchery’ is
now also available online.
Catch after before they hit the
big time

| after |
Local band after play the Charlotte on April 30 as
part of the Radio One Transit tour. Music-wise, after ARE rock 'n'
roll.
They have a great set of pulse-racing and dynamic
songs which are definite crowd pleasers.
The band describe themselves as refusing "to grow
up and get 'proper' jobs". On the strength of their sound, they
don't have to swap the guitars for an office suit just
yet!
Phoenix folk
Jim Moray arrives at Phoenix Arts on April 24 with
resounding critical acclaim echoing just behind him. A
multi-instrumentalist, Moray’s spine-chillingly pure vocal style
recently won him the coveted Radio 2 Folk Award’s Album of the year
title.
If folk is not usually your cup of tea, break the
mould and live a little; the Independent recently described this as
"where the folk tradition turns left and hits the mainstream".
Tickets are £6 and doors open at 8pm.
