Artist Of The Month

Penny Tristram is an artist and writer. I work in acrylics to produce bright, unusual pieces that play with the mechanics and politics of the human figure. I paint these fantastical images as a response to pressing questions about identity in our digital age. I am especially interested in the tension and contrast between public and private identity. Quote of the month... “Never mistake activity for achievement.” - John Wooden

FEB MUSIC
@ The CanTeen
Tantz - The Leeds-based quintet call it ElectroKlezmer, with whiplash rhythms and heart-catching bass and drums that could almost displace the virtuoso clarinet and violin melodies if they weren’t played so darned well Ewan McLennan - Rivetting Scots folk singer and guitarist who’s impressed Radio 2, BBC 4 and MOJO magazine with his fine clear voice and dextrous fretwork. There’s a strong political energy underpinning much of his material, rich in the traditions of his homeland
Mon 3
Canteen Jazz Session - An open jazz jam session for seasoned players to join the house trio and others in exploring classic jazz & latin tunes
Tues 4
Glow Globes - The Glow Globes duo holds your attention with a wry and quirky music and sweet harmony singing in a mix of swing, country, chanson and all kinds of stylish genres
Wed 5
FREIGHT - Martin Jenkins’ modern jazz piano and composition nod firmly towards the great Thelonious Monk while Greg Cordez’s bass and tunes lean in a contemporary Scandinavian direction
Thur 6
Richard O’Brien Sextet - Sometimes even the most disciplined of bass players just has to let it all out, and funky twangster Richard O’Brien is no exception
Fri 7
Talisman - They made their name in the 80s conscious reggae scene and the reformed
Talisman are still true to those roots but they’ve also moved on and the new tunes have a fresh energy that belies their veteran status
Sat 8
Wormfood presents Polaroid 85 - under Neeta Sari’s direction her fabulous electro-acoustic collective bring it to pulsating life. Piano led tunes set skittering drum’n’bass, cello, violin and clarinet loose among the electronics and her own dream-perfect vocals. Cinematic Anglo-Indian dance music for the future
Sun 9
Emily Wright & The Royals - Her top trio of musicians makes a classy setting for Emily’s smoothly louche vocal evocation of swing music of the 30s and 40s.
Mon 10
Twelve Months of Summer Feat. Josie Newton, Callum Martin & The Tixx- Monthly acoustic evenings hosted by the straight-talking singer-songwriter Rosie B with a whole host of talented guests
Tues 11
Mary Spender - a cut above your average singer/songwriter and guitarist. Comparisons with Joni Mitchell rest lightly on the easy jazziness of her voice and the quick, rich lyricism of her songs
Wed 12 Thur 13
Magic Lantern - Jamie Doe writes songs that sound deceptively spare and starkly Ansum & The Vibes - With the supercool Ansum fronting up and a solid reggae backbeat behind the Vibes are, inevitably, cool and classically Caribbean
Fri 14
Tru Thoughts superhip stable alongside Quantic and the like. The contemporary jazz-blues edge of Harleighblu’s debut album ‘Forget Me Not’ put her on 2013’s ‘must catch’ list. Here’s your chance
beautiful, but which open up to reveal a warmth, humour and wisdom that belies his age.
Harleighblu & Typesun (Dj Set) - Only 17 and she’s already part of the
FREE ENTRY - BUT PLEASE GIVE GENEROUSLY TO THE MUSIC BUCKET!
LIVE MUSIC MON-THURS 9:30 -11:30PM | FRI & SAT BANDS & DJS FROM 9:30-1:00AM | SUN LIVE MUSIC 4:00-6:00PM
Sat 15 Sun 16 Mon 17 Tues 18
Regime - Young fivesome making live ‘heavy hip-hop from Bristol Town’ - so that means dub wise flavours from time to time and a general commitment to keeping it nice and bass-y FB Pocket Orchestra - From a time warp down in the New Forest the FB Pocket Orchestra bring a fresh sound that harks back to the hot jazz and swing of the 30s
Canteen Jazz Session - An open jazz jam session for seasoned players to join the house trio and others in exploring classic jazz & latin tunes Sam Green & The Midnight Heist - This ridiculously good lap-steel guitar player rolls out his own contemporary folk songs of freewheeling wisdom
Wed 19
Break a Lead - Fundraising night for the UWE Illustration crew featuring three
Thur 20
The Rosellys - Country-steeped coming together of singer/songwriter Rebecca
Fri 21
Cut Capers - Hard-driving hip-hop beats, jumping ska and great brass business make the soundtrack for some multi-lingual duelling by MCs Eloy Sinser and Mark Pearce
great acts: Rosie Rowland’s gentle poetic melancholy, the psychedelic reggae of Jalandhar and the mysterious enigma that is Forestar Rosewall and the brothers Simon & Allan Kelly Contemporary Americana songs in the vein of Alison Krauss with a rich vein of Cajun swing always near to the surface
Sat 22
Fofoulah - The sound of Senegal has always been a favourite flavour here at Canteen so this London-based fusion of West African tradition with bass-boosting synths and electro-dub production should have no trouble getting the Saturday party started
Sun 23
Denny Ilett - Moscow Drug Club’s jazz guitarist has a rocking blues heart as well as a swinging way with a tune. Whether paying tribute to the great Wes Montgomery or catching the contemporary vibe with Andy Sheppard Denny’s head-turning musicianship makes him a real treat to the ears
Mon 24
Leonie Evans Blues Session - Lovely-voiced vocalist from Rae and other
Tues 25
bands reveals her own idiosyncratically blues-inspired material
Lauren Bradford - Ex-patriot singer from the US whose clear voice and crisply picked acoustic guitar unfold her own poetic songs with soulful honesty and urgency, whether stirring anthems or thoughtful ballads
Wed 26
Bucking Mules - If you want to know what Americana is about then you should probably start in the Appalachians - which is where the four members of Bucking Mules hail from. Their acoustic old time music is played on fiddle banjo guitar and bass is straight from a hillbilly fireside and pure as a mountain stream
Thur 27
Bristol Afrobeat Project - What it says on the can: they come from Bristol - all ten of ‘em - and they play the kind of pile-driving West African funk that Fela Kuti and his drumming legend Tony Allen pioneered in the 70s
Fri 28
Speaking in Tongues - The Canteen don’t do tribute acts as a rule,
but this absolutely bang on reconstruction of the many faces of Talking Heads would surely merit a benign nod from the great Mr Byrne himself. Fabulous music brought to the liveliest of life by Chris Apthomas and friends Design by www.danchernett.com
