This weeks Simple Folk Radio Show the first broadcast for which will be aired this Sunday 30th September 2012 will be presented by monthly resident host Daniel Green (Laish) with Cathy (Redwood Red) and features sessions from REDWOOD RED & DOLLBOY
Redwood Red is the song project of Cathy Cardin, a key voice within Sons of Noel and Adrian. Mysterious narratives of modern relationships sung with a most engaging voice, the songs are arranged with nylon guitar, clarinet, bass and brushed drums. The band features Emma Gattrill, Marcus Hamblett and Daniel Green. Few recordings exist and live shows are rare so this session is a treat. It was recorded in Daniel Green’s living room as a supporting slot for our recent Willy Mason’s session.
“Dollboy arrives with a catalogue of influences: everything from folk minstrels through to the Canterbury prog-rock, flower power, glam and freak folk. Scooting between the limits of rock and psychedelia, Further Excursions Into The Ulu with Dollboy (his fifth album) puts spiritualism to greasers, and far-fetched 2001 vibes to the ultra casual folk fan. Cherer groans along in his best Bowie voice, weirder than the Thin White Duke himself when he tried to rap in Labyrinth. Despite the oddities, Further Excursions has a pop side, with Cherer working hard to make the 12 tracks sound less like a breakdown and more like a zany edition of TOTP2″ -Drowned In Sound/George Bass
