nick b hall, in his excellent new duo with michelle plum, has just been asked to perform two contrasting but equally exciting live concerts.
on saturday 31st may (just before nick zooms off to perform at fountains abbey) nick and michelle will perform a half hour concert in the open air at bradford centenary square for bradford music week. the duo will be onstage at midday prompt and then will have to dash straight off up the dales. this should be a brilliant concert in an unusual setting. it's free and therefore shouldn't be missed.
on saturday 7th june, nick and michelle will be performing as the special guests of the legendary peter tork (of the monkees) at otley civic centre for legendary promoter john keenan. this is a concert not to be missed, as nick and michelle are only going to do a few interesting, quirky or 'prestige' gigs a year, and the chance to see them AND a legendary figure such as peter tork is a bit 'once-in-a-lifetime'. the civic is one of nick's favourite venues and he always plays a blinder there. tickets are available from manor books and music in otley and info can be found from john keenan at www.liveinleeds.com
nick and michelle have been writing and demoing new material and two of nick's new songs 'the fall and the flood' (bad weather as a metaphor for life!) and 'world domination now!' (a well-aimed rant against the political wing of the christian right) could find their way into the upcoming solo and duo sets. nick is very happy with the way the demos for the new album 'world domination now!' are shaping up and the album could be out for christmas at this rate.
