Es todo lo contrario de lo que dice el título de la canción (con polémica incorporada por algún problemilla con la portada) que avanza el disco que vendrá que se llama "Amadora". Y sí, Miren Iza, sigue haciendo historia a base de canciones redondas (este anticipo nos abre las ganas de más) que en la próxima entrega aparecerá con su propio sello. Y esta novedad coincide con la tacada de cuatro conciertos (entre el 7 y el 10 en Madrid, Zaragoza, Pamplona y Vitoria) respaldada por los alumnos aventajados del LIPA pues ella ha sido la elegida este año por la AIE para darse una vuelta una semana por tierras de Liverpool (yo tuve ese placer años atrás cuando Soledad Vélez fue la protagonista). A lo largo de la charla hablamos tanto de su trayectoria desde sus tiempos maqueteros llamándose Lula y Mona (no se quedó ni con uno ni con otro por coincidencia con otras aventuras musicales) antes del definitivo nombre de Tulsa pasando por canciones de anteriores discos (de Solo me has rozado, Centauros o Ese éxtasis) que formarán parte del setlist de esos conciertos distintos que vienen. Antes hubo charla telefónica con Aleix Ibars, director de comunicación del Primavera Sound que ya ha echado a andar desde este lunes en Madrid y que tiene llena de música esta semana todo tipo de recintos (desde el Metropolitano a las distintas salas de la ciudad) con un cartel que llega hasta las 250 actuaciones. En el curso de la conversación sonaron pet Shop Boys, St Vincent, Blur y Depeche Mode, nombres punteros de la convocatoria. Después de la conversación hubo hueco para más músicas del festival, representadas en los veteranos hermanos Mael, (o sea Spàrks) que ya se andan por el 26º álbum y Allison Goldfrapp que ya camina en solitario con el apellido de su banda de toda la vida. La apertura la pusieron James con una de sus piezas grandes de su trayectoria (álbum Laid de 1993) en versión orquestal. Y la recta final fue para Triángulo de Amor Bizarro y otra pieza de su Sed y el comentario de su showcase de días atrás en El Sol, el tándem compuesto por los escoceses Karine Polvart y Kris Drever leyendo a Nick Drake y Cowboy Junkies y una pieza que tiene, de la mano de DH Lawrence y su poema Shadows, homenaje al padre de la familia Timmins.

On Easter Bank Holiday Monday, April 13th 2020, we organised the Folk on Foot Front Room Festival - seven and a half hours of wonderful folk music from 15 top artists playing in their front rooms, linked by Matthew Bannister from his. Bella Hardy, Beth Porter and the Bookshop Band, Jon Boden, Julie Fowlis and Éamon Doorley, Karine Polwart, Kerry Andrew/You are Wolf, Kris Drever, Lisa Knapp, Martin Simpson, Nancy Kerr and James Fagan, Peggy Seeger, Rachel Newton, Sam Lee, Seth Lakeman and Steve Knightley all played sets of around 30 minutes. The festival raised thousands of pounds for musicians unable to work during the coronavirus lockdown. Here are some of the highlights of an amazing day.

The guitarist, singer and songwriter Kris Drever – Radio 2 Folk Singer of the Year 2017 - was born and brought up on Orkney, the archipelago of about 70 islands off the Northern coast of Scotland which is steeped in history. Kris takes Matthew Bannister for a walk, starting in the main town of Kirkwall with its huge sandstone cathedral commemorating St Magnus who came to an untimely end. In the graveyard Kris sings “Winter Moon”. Then they head off to the shores of the great natural harbour at Scapa Flow where Kris performs his powerful song about the scuttling of the entire German navy there in 1919. They end up at the chapel created in a nissen hut by Italian prisoners during the Second World War – a poignant setting for Kris’s song “Ghosts”. Along the way, Kris reflects on the influence of his musical parents; on Scotland’s fondness for strong drink and explains why he’s now moved to Shetland. It’s another great episode with a thoughtful and inspiring artist. Visit our website: https://www.folkonfoot.comSupport us on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/folkonfoot

Reinventing the Reel brings together an explosive mix of talent from Scotland's current wealth of world class traditional musicians. As well the unique repertoire of these two thrilling trios they will join as one magnificent ensemble to perform some brand new music with a contemporary slant on Scottish traditional music. Lau are Kris Drever (guitar and vocals), Aidan O'Rourke (fiddle) and Martin Green (accordion). They have quickly established themselves as a major force in modern traditional music. Their debut album "Lightweights and Gentlemen" was released in March 2007 to great critical acclaim and they have already secured major festival bookings across Europe and North America in 2007 and 2008. The Ross Ainslie/ Jarlath Henderson Trio are Ross Ainslie (Scottish Small Pipes), Jarlath Henderson (Uilleann Pipes) and Ali Hutton (Guitar and Bodhran) The trio are "high energy pipe fiends from Scotland and Ireland". Their debut album is out on Vertical Records later this year.
