BSW PRESENT KASPAR & LUCY

Wednesday 29th April


Music 7.30pm Doors 7.00pm

£15

A collaboration between Kaspar Berry Rapkin & Lucy Piper sees two established musicians from the UK's Blues scene come together to play the upbeat Hill Country & Delta Blues from the land where they first met, Clarksdale, Mississippi. Dedicated to capturing the raw hypnotic energy you'd find in a traditional 'Juke Joint', both musicians are devoted to keeping this unique music alive, with an added fresh edge.

Hailing from St Albans and Exeter, Kaspar plays regularly on the London Blues circuit as well as at many of the leading UK's Blues Festivals, both solo and with his band 'The Swamp Dogs', whilst Lucy is well known on the scene for her role as a Blues session Drummer, and has played with the likes of Ben Waters, Mississippi Macdonald, and James Oliver, as well as many American Blues artists out in the Delta, such as Watermelon Slim and Robert Kimbrough Sr.

They believe that the genre deserves a larger audience and are determined to showcase its power, authenticity, and irresistible groove to new listeners and dedicated blues fans alike.

A lunchtime reprise by request of Rupert’s recent Heartlands programme.

Heartlands presents core piano repertoire of particular significance to the pianist. Busoni’s masterful arrangement of Bach's Partita no.2 for solo violin has deep emotional scope, moving from moments of sublime intimacy to soaring majesty. Beethoven’s Sonata No.21 is a key work from his ‘heroic’ decade of composition taking the listener on an emotional journey from struggle to triumph and release. A selection of Rachmaninov’s lyrical and soulful preludes from Op.23 concludes the recital. A virtuosic recital programme drawn across a broad arc of passion and nostalgia. Performed and presented by Rupert Egerton-Smith, described by New York Concert Review as a ‘pianist and musician of the highest calibre’.

CARTOGRAPHY - CHRIS HOBAN AND MARTIN REEVES

Wednesday 13th May


7.30pm Doors 7.00pm

£16

‘Cartography’ is a chronological journey, through song and narrative, of our relationship with the land on which we live – including landowners and commoners, heaths and allotments, enclosure acts and rights (or the lack of them), Dartmoor landowners and exuberant West Country miners amongst the cast of characters.

Featuring renowned original songs including “Hallows’ Eve”, “The Old Lych Way”, “Katrina” & “The Terror”, the performers weave threads of music & words to conjure up a geographical tapestry from early Britain to the present day, showing how a series of events, individuals and legislation have moulded the rural England we know today.

Chris is a Topsham-based songwriter, composer, arranger, lyricist and multi-instrumentalist who plays the guitar, ‘cello, piano, piano accordion & mandocello. Recently he has been appointed Cultural Fellow at the University of Exeter, writing songs inspired by early modern wills, and Writer-in-Residence for Literature Works' "Quay Words", composing a series of songs inspired by the River Exe & the Exeter Ship Canal.

Renowned Devon actor Martin Reeve has taken guest roles on some of the UK’s leading series, including Little Bird, Dalziel and Pascoe, Judge John Deed, Holby City, Piggot in The Royal, and Emmerdale; he also has a PhD in the origins and development of Punch & Judy theatre.

Chris & Martin's performances at the Malthouse always sell out in advance, so early booking is advised.

“Chris Hoban… expresses, with musical skill and poetic originality, the beauty and diversity of the whole of England.” (Dame Judith Weir, Master of the King’s Music 2014-24)

“Rooted… in a mystical past.” (Colin Irwin, Folk Roots)
