Parish Church Doors 7pm 01803 875527 “With his deep affinity with Indian
classical music and his expertise in soulfully conveying its essence on the
humble acoustic guitar. ... where other guitar maestros have dipped their
toes.... he's taken the integration a stage further and his collaboration
with tabla virtuosos Nitin Gaikwad and Sharanappa Guttaragi .. is both
fiery and rewarding”
Fatea Magazine
“there is an obvious warmth to Marcus
Corbett., with his rich amalgamation of both British and Indian music”

Marcus Corbett is a singer, acoustic guitarist and composer
based between the UK and Pune, Maharashtra, India. He has been studying
Indian classical music and working with musicians in India for over 10
years, and has released a string of albums, including the most recent two,
the acclaimed ‘Strung Deep’ and ‘Every Little Spirit’. His works are
a generous spirited cultural collaboration that allows his original
compositions to come to life while paying homage to the N. Indian classical
tradition he loves. He has created lasting relationships in India with
Tabla players, Nitin Gaikwad
& Sharanappa Guttaragi from
Pune, Maharashtra and Gadag in North Karnataka respectively, and these are
the foundation of the project and performance. The album ‘Every
Little Spirit’ extended the harmonic reach of the music and is an
ambitious enterprise as two violins are at work; and as Marcus says “The
beautiful challenge in this search is to keep the individual cultural
charm, to allow the bell to ring true; and to maintain the power and
integrity of the music”. Faeland “All My Swim is always surprising, never
complacent. Just like the best music should be, in fact”Shire
Folk Magazine “A
really fabulous band making glorious folk music”BBC South West All My Swim is
the forthcoming debut LP from Faeland, aka Bristol based folk duo Jacob
Morrison and Rebecca Nelson. Following previous singles We’re Just a Love Song/All My Swim, released on 11th November
2017 and Silent Story/The Wheel on 12th January
2018. All My Swim has already received acclaim from Uncut
Magazine and Shire
Folk Magazine, with further coverage in R2 and
a host of others in the pipeline. The
singles have been supported by Gideon
Coe and Tom Robinson via BBC 6Music. All My Swim is a
beautiful selection of original, modern folk compositions influenced by music
from both sides of the Atlantic. It
gives the duo’s personal spin on classic themes of
humanity, such as love, healing, and magic. Despite tackling difficult
themes and life experiences,
there is a strong vein of optimism running through the music of Faeland; as Rebecca
says they are “fully committed to making music
that changes lives for the better and adds something good to
human existence”.
