SUMMARY:STEVE GUNN + JAMES ELKINGTON
DESCRIPTION:Upset The Rhythm presents… \nSTEVE GUNN\nJAMES ELKINGTON\nThursday 23 October\nSt Matthias Church\, Wordsworth Rd\, Dalston\, London\, N16 8DD\n7.30pm | £14 | Tickets: https://link.dice.fm/Kbeb8bca6565 \nSTEVE GUNN is a New York-based guitarist and songwriter. With a career spanning nearly fifteen years\, Steve has produced volumes of critically acclaimed solo\, duo\, and ensemble recordings on labels such as Matador Records\, Three Lobed Recordings\, Paradise of Bachelors\, and RVNG. His albums represent milestones of contemporary guitar-driven material\, and forward thinking songwriting. Steve has steadily processed his inspirations into a singular\, virtuosic stream. Close listening reveals the influence of blues\, folk\, ecstatic free jazz\, and psych in his continually unfolding output.\n‘Music for Writers’\, the first Gunn album under only his name since 2021\, takes those influences to a new level. It is an instrumental album (released this August by Three Lobed Recordings)\, based around guitar\, synths and more\, it leads the listener to tightly and deeply focus on minute changes and variations in style. It is a masterpiece in fragile\, small-scale world-building that occupies a unique space within Gunn’s wider discography.\nhttps://stevegunn.bandcamp.com/music \nJAMES ELKINGTON moved to the United States in the late ’90s from his native England with the intention of making himself absolutely essential to the Chicago music scene. Twenty years later he’s contributed to a staggering volume of records and shows and projects both in Chicagoland (see Jeff Tweedy; Tortoise; Eleventh Dream Day; Brokeback) and far from it (see Richard Thompson; Laetitia Sadier; Michael Chapman\, Steve Gunn\, Nap Eyes). The 2017 release of the wonderful ‘Wintres Woma’\, his first so-called solo album\, seemed to be a logical\, healthy respite from assisting with the creative needs of others that would allow him to serve his own. The record certainly sounded as though James found in it every reason to be satisfied – among much else\, it effectively reconciled his personal and musical mongreltude as a child of Britain and a man of America\, and thus could return his focus to bettering other folks’ records. James has since released several albums on Paradise of Bachelors and No Quarter\, including last year’s triumphant collab with Nathan Salsburg entitled ‘All Gist’.\nhttps://www.jameselkington.com/

SUMMARY:The Long Play Sessions: Paul Sexton with Rock Goes to College (Special performance from Freya Everest)
DESCRIPTION:Join us for a special evening with Paul Sexton\, acclaimed music journalist\, author and broadcaster\, as he explores his latest book Rock Goes to College — the definitive\, untold story of the UK university gig circuit that launched a generation of legendary artists. With an opening performance by talented singer-songwriter Freya Everest\, this one is not to be missed!  \nIn Rock Goes to College\, Sexton traces the rise of Britain’s student gig circuit during the late 1960s and 1970s. This grassroots touring network became a proving ground for emerging artists during the explosion of rock music and the album era. As new universities and polytechnics opened across the UK\, bands criss-crossed the country in battered vans\, playing student unions\, honing their sound and chasing the dream of a record deal. \nDrawing on extensive original interviews and his unrivalled access to artists and industry figures\, Sexton tells remarkable early-career stories of acts including Pink Floyd\, Led Zeppelin\, The Who\, Queen\, Elton John\, Fleetwood Mac\, Genesis\, Nick Drake\, AC/DC and Dire Straits — as well as the student promoters and social secretaries who booked them\, many of whom would go on to shape the modern music industry themselves. The book also reveals how Paul McCartney and Wings returned to this circuit post-Beatles to road-test a new band from the ground up. \nPart music history\, part social history\, Rock Goes to College captures a vital moment when higher education\, youth culture and live music collided — shaping careers\, communities and the future of British rock. \nWhat to expect\n\nAn in-depth conversation with Paul Sexton on the stories and research behind Rock Goes to College\nInsight into the UK’s university gig circuit and its role in developing iconic artists\nDiscussion on music journalism\, biography and documenting cultural history\nAudience Q&A\nA live and intimate acoustic performance from Freya Everest\nBook signing opportunity — bring your copy or purchase one on the night\n\nWe look forward to welcoming you to The Long Play Sessions for an entertaining\, insightful and nostalgia-rich evening uncovering one of the most influential — and least documented — chapters in British music history. \nAbout The Long Play Sessions\nThis event forms part of The Long Play Sessions\, a curated series hosted by ICMP Music School\, celebrating influential writers whose work has shaped how we understand music\, culture and creative history. Each session brings landmark books to life through live conversation\, historical context and deep industry insight.
