The Woe Betides

Once there were two lost souls, Grundy le Zimbra and The Late Simon Mastrantone. They both loved to play music yet they could never find the right slipper to fit. The boredom was killing them. Not ones to bury their heads in the sand, they turned instead to showcasing others’ talent and together with their friend Jeremy Warmsley they created a night called Songs in the Dark. Here they laid on a feast of modern cabaret, a celebration of all that was good in music, poetry, comedy and art. One such Dark night, Grundy and The Late.

Trent Miller & The Skeleton Jive

Italian by birth but now residing in London, Trent Miller has been described as the Pete Doherty of the Americana movement. However, with his wistful acid-bite lyrics, mournful, chilling melodies and outlaw, renegade posture, a more suitable comparison might be to that of Gram Parsons or Gene Clark. His original mix of gothic and avant-country have seen the singer-songwriter gain a growing cult following in the underground folk scene since he first brought his music to London in late 2006.
