Steven Milne Posted February 19, 2010 Report Share Posted February 19, 2010 THURSDAY 22ND APRIL@THE WAREHOUSEWAREHOUSE PRESENTS...GIL SCOTT HERONplus support tbc7.00pm14+ 17.50 advance ticketsGil Scott-Heron (born April 1, 1949) is an American poet, musician, and author known primarily for his late 1970s and early 1980s work as a spoken word soul performer and his collaborative work with musician Brian Jackson. His collaborative efforts with Jackson featured a musical fusion of jazz, blues and soul music, as well as lyrical content concerning social and political issues of the time, delivered in both rapping and melismatic vocal styles by Scott-Heron.The music of these albums, most notably Pieces of a Man and Winter in America in the early 1970s, influenced and helped engender later African-American music genres such as hip hop and neo soul. Scott-Heron's recording work is often associated with black militant activism and has received much critical acclaim for one of his most well-known compositions "The Revolution Will Not Be Televised". Scott-Heron's unique proto-rap style influenced a generation of hip-hop artists.His new record was released last week to rave reviews.Pitchfork: Album Reviews: Gil Scott-Heron: I'm New HereTICKETS AVAILABLE:One Up, TicketwebAberdeen Warehouse (Formerly Moshulu) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

negativecreep92 Posted April 20, 2010 Report Share Posted April 20, 2010 Any idea what time he'll be on stage/ finished? Really looking forward to it, but panicking that I'll miss the 21:55 train. Though theres a slightly later one that will get me halfway home...Bollocks, it'll be worth the walk for the gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
