Join us for a special edition of our Sunday Sessions, with special guests!
On Sun 15th Sept (1pm-5pm) you can enjoy your fix of Latin and Brazilian music, this time with two special guests joining us to celebrate The Vale’s 3rd birthday for an extended afternoon of live music.
Henry Botham
Henry Botham is a professional pianist from Manchester, UK, best known for playing piano in 52 Skidoo, The Nightcreatures and No Good Beatniks. He is one of the country’s leading Stride, New Orleans and Blues pianists. He has a new solo piano album and is performing solo piano shows throughout the UK. The music is inspired by the great New Orleans pianists Dr John, James Booker, Professor Longhair and Jelly Roll Morton but is very much Henry’s own creation and includes repertoire by such diverse artists as Jimi Hendrix, The Prodigy, The Beatles and Iggy Pop. Foot-tapping goodness not to be missed!
Coruja Jones
Also joining us ahead of his upcoming new EP launch is Coruja Jones, accompanied by trusty guitarist Jake Stentiford. Coruja Jones is a songwriting project from Manchester (UK) based musician and songwriter Dan Jones, originally hailing from Dudley in The West Midlands.
Described by Tom Robinson (BBC6 Music) as “deft and assured”, Coruja Jones’ music offers dreamy, melancholic, indie-folk delivered through beautiful songs with soaring high notes, combined with intricate, delicate guitar work into cavernous reverbs, plus killer grooves, which take aim at your heart.
2024 sees the release of his next record, ‘Undo’. The EP delves into the healing process in different forms, examining the calm and the chaos that can come from attempted self-betterment, and witnessing and wanting to heal other’s hardship, all through the lens of love. Produced by Sam Vicary (The Cinematic Orchestra).
