with support from Phil Clubley - Crazy Man Michael is a duo featuring East Riding singer songwriters Emily River Thomson and Martin Peirson who have joined forces to produce a unique collection of self-written songs, which they will be playing live in Beverley! ‘Crazy Man Michael – Unplugged & Acoustic’ will take place at ‘Upstairs at Gemini’ (Gemini Chocolate) 33 North Bar Within, Beverley on SATURDAY 21 NOVEMBER 7.30pm (Doors/Bar 7pm). Both performers have dipped into their archives for material that reflects a different angle to their usual work. The goal is to find mystical themes and thought-provoking imagery on songs that you can still tap your feet to! Using mandolin, ukulele and acoustic/nylon strung guitars, their harmonies enhance some intriguing songs.Emily was invited to sing backing vocals on Martin’s EP ‘The Larun Beat’, and afterwards, mainly to keep in touch, the pair began some ‘tea, cake and jam sessions’ which led this unusual pairing. Their own joint CD entitled ‘Songs of Mystery & Imagination’ was recorded at The Corner studio in Hull last year and includes one co-written song, with the others arranged specifically to suit the duo’s style. The pair performed a sell-out show at the venue last year, and return with a totally acoustic set to make the most of the intimate space. Martin added “For some live performances we include some well-known songs to enhance the set, but our heart is in our own material really- songs about the moon, nature, the elements and meeting people at crossroads -that sort of thing. It sounds a bit dark, but we have a laugh doing it”. Support is by local songwriter Phil Clubley.Tickets (£8 plus booking fee) are limited for this intimate performance from www.WeGotTickets.com/cherryburtonarts or from Gemini Chocolate.
