Description
"Songwriter Spencer McGarry performs his new record in its entirety with a mini orchestra of horns, woodwind, strings, percussion and additional singers. McGarry is aiming to record 6 albums in 6 different styles, with this current 'longplayer' taking its cues from Rogers and Hammerstein, Gershwin, Irving Berlin and the baroque pop of Brian Wilson, Sufjan Stevens and The Beatles. The night also features the premiere of two new compositions by Paul Jones performed by Cardiff New Music Collective.
Presented by Businessman Records and
Peppermintpatti.
All tickets £5
"The sound of the new band is something very exciting, taking Spencer's ear for a great melody filled out with a pop-baroque orchestration reminiscent of a 1950s Disney
film. And it works, very well." — Kruger Magazine
"Eccentric and flamboyant" — Bethan Elfyn –Radio 1"
