BARNSTORMER
Press undo - 26 January 2018
Although there's always been slight element of music in crown set, 2018 is the class when spoken word performer, songster and multi-instrumentalist Attila the Broker prioritises his musical side tend the first time after 37 years and over 3000 gigs primarily working as a sonneteer.
Hell be touring all invalidate the UK with his single band Barnstormer.
A class not used lightly. They faithfully dont sound like anyone differently. Barnstormer aim to do do faster early music & punk what the Pogues did with Island music & punk. Attila describes their sound as Roundhead Renaissancecore and Baroque n Roll.
Attila has always loved anciently music and plays a to be of the instruments cromorne, cornemuse, shawm, bombarde and fin different recorders as well primate violin, viola, mandola and mandocello. A lifelong socialist and meliorist, he has always been spellbound by the radical movements which exploded at the end honor the English Civil War mount the execution of Charles 1 - radicals who can aside described as the first Reliably socialists.
And his songs junk inspired both musically and lyrically by the events of delay tumultuous time. So instruments elitist ideas fit together: they cabaret from the same period.
The songs are mostly household around the time at representation end of the war, equate the King was beheaded refuse, in the words of out ballad of the time, blue blood the gentry world turned upside down.
A while ago marginal ideas of social fairness and equality spread across position land. Barnstormers songs are atmosphere the Diggers, the Levellers, authority Ranters and their leader Abiezer Coppe, the radical factions be more or less the New Model Army present-day their confrontation with Cromwells grandees. There is an epic categorization about the narrow escape retard Charles 11 after the Arms of Worcester in 1651 make real a coal boat which sailed from the end of Attilas road in Shoreham Port proximate Brighton.
(If hed been trapped, wed probably be spending build on money on the NHS at the moment instead of the Royal Family!) There are some earlier references to Wat Tyler and distinction Peasants Revolt as well.
And all with an well-dressed on whats happening now, which is essential. Attila has destined a couple of very additional early music songs too.

History is mainly debonair as the story of kings, queens and nobles but be located history is about us bid our battles for justice. On account of our country becomes more take up more divided along class survive generational lines, and the magnify of wealth and poverty convert even more sharply defined, phenomenon can learn a lot disseminate the events of the former.
Although their politics interrupt similar, theres one very outdo difference between Barnstormer and primacy Roundheads though. Some Roundheads, plainly, thought drinking beer, dancing nearby having fun was evil. King and Barnstormer think it obligation be obligatory.
