offramp Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 as part of SOUND festival, interesting music promotions presentPAMELA WYN SHANNON + KITCHEN CYNICS + CRAIG DAVIDSONThursday 6th November 2008The Tunnels, Carnegies Brae, Aberdeen AB10 1BF. Phone 01224 211121Doors 8pm | Entry 5http://www.sound-scotland.co.ukhttp://www.thetunnels.co.ukhttp://www.myspace.com/interestingmusicPAMELA WYN SHANNONMassachusetts-based musician Pamela Wyn Shannon's inventive and intricate guitar work has been described as "a tiny chamber orchestra working in unison at the end of her hands," and her vocal style has a delicate lilting sensitivity. Her unique compositions have an elliptical quality which creates its own timeframe, rules, and kingdoms, and are reminiscent of the magic found in UK '60s artifacts.Her recent CD "Courting Autumn", is a sonic almanac burnished with melancholy, its wistful vocals floating above slinky and delicate hand-spun guitar, windswept and weather-worn by plaintive string and recorder arrangements.http://www.myspace.com/pamelawynshannonKITCHEN CYNICSThis is what Triptych said about Alan earlier this year. It sounds great, so we copied itA one-man psych-folk vanquisher from Aberdeen, Alan Davidson aka Kitchen Cynics has cultivated wry acoustic apologues and warm machine parables since the Eighties. Hes propagated a slew of cassettes and CDRs, while live alliances include Damon & Naomi and Masaki Batoh (Ghost). Davidsons mythological, prosaic and deadpan narratives map the universal and the personal: celebrating in equal measure the sea and lasagne; fossils and love.http://www.myspace.com/kitchencynicsCRAIG DAVIDSONLocal singer-songwriter whose influences include Nick Drake, Leonard Cohen and Elliott Smith.http://www.myspace.com/craigdavidsonaberdeen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Cynic Posted November 6, 2008 Report Share Posted November 6, 2008 Pamela has also got Shirley Collins' and Davy Graham's seal of approval.....can't ask for more! My mum says she will give me her seal of approval, so all's well! (although her 'seal of approval' is a nodding-head sea-creature which sits on the back windows of cars).

silversurfer Posted November 7, 2008 Report Share Posted November 7, 2008 A great night's entertainment by three very talented people.Loved Craig's version of 'Poncho and Lefty', Alan was at his brilliant best, and Pamela was, well Pamela. Lovely voice, great guitar player, and a good set. Yup, a great night. Thanks IMP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Cynic Posted November 8, 2008 Report Share Posted November 8, 2008 Cheers, Silver! Pity the crowd was so small, but more than a few of those present commented on Pamela's great guitar skills. We managed to get a couple of tunes recorded together yesterday, which I'll be able to work on at leisure, perhaps for a shared EP. It'd be cool to get Craig involved too!
