GARANCE & LE MITOCHONDRIES
Garance is a song writer and accordionist from rural southern france. Her band “Leslie Wilson-Rutterford Mitochondries” are a rag tag ensemble of gifted rougues she aquired from the street corners of London. Together they make a very beautiful,quirky and rickety musical family. They mix destroyed dynamics and unexpected changes with traditional folkloric styles…You could call it a kind of “dirty tango, rock n roll, post-musette, tramp jazz, progressive gypsy…”

EVERY MONDAY you are invited to our amazing

RED SKY AT NIGHT!

Peel back the blue velvet curtain and step inside the bohemian haven that is Jamboree. It is one of London’s best kept secrets, a space that makes you feel transported into a lost word of creative East Berlin in the early 20th century.

Monday Night at Jamboree from You and I Films on Vimeo.

Every Monday tucked inside this warmly inviting den, some of London’s most talented, underground professional musicians by night and hard-working buskers of East London’s street’s by day, come together for an evening of Folk, Roots, Blues, Gypsy Jazz & Americana. This tightknit group of musicians live and breathe the music they play at Jamboree which helps creates an unvarnished and friendly atmosphere with that community feeling; a rare find in the cosmopolitism of London.

The Jamboree Collective bring you a
a weekly night of AMERICANA/ GYPSY/ FOLK / BlUES / BALKAN

 Regular Acts:

LOUISA JONES

Louisa Jones explores folk music originating in various parts of the world, with a nod to Eastern European folk. Her style is distinctively unique, yet identifies with many a folk and jazz appreciating taste. Their music reveals influences from early 20th century jazz, vaudeville blues, rag-time and north Indian classical music.

Louisa Jones is the lead singer of Whiskey Moon Face whose voice is like a soothing baritone wisp, captivating you in her velvety yet raw and warm range of blues infused melodies. This combined with the Roma gypsy sound of the Accordion, Ewan Bleach’s hypnotic and virtuosic clarinet playing makes for a enchanting blend.

ADAM BEATTIE AND THE CONSULTANTS

Adam Beattie and the Consultants are pure folk and blues cross-pollinated with folk-rock, dirty blues and a tiptoeing layer of post-punk sounds. The core of the bands arrangement is Adam Beattie’s calm and understated lead vocals akin to that of Adam Green but with the deeply planted wise roots of the likes of Leonard Cohen. Their lullaby like melodies with words are full of meaning without being self-indulgent, notably ‘A song of 100 years’. Their music transcends into punchier folk rhythms such as “All I Know”.

Their live performances are diverse exposing the bands subtle folky nature as well as their darker side in which the band throw themselves into an emotional performance of helter-skelter violin playing, heavy twisted electric guitar and cutting drums which remains tasteful and heartfelt in the peripherals of folk-rock, comparable to the likes of Neil Young and Dry the River. Their sound is traditionally crafted yet they are contemporary and innovative, which is a potent mix for success.

BROOKE SHARKEY

Inspired by gypsy blues and country folk music, Brooke Sharkey is a dedicated troubadour who has carved out an exciting musical niche with expressive and spiralling vocals of delicate English and French ballad’s. The themes in her song-writing are achingly personal, presenting the tribulations of life and complex intimacies in all their vibrant, heart-breaking glory.

She is accompanied by Adam Beattie on double bass and backing vocal which brings an added tenderness and weight to the compositions, whilst Alastair Caplin fuels a fire in the songs with his passionate and evocative violin playing, tied together by the rich sound of Jez Houghton’s French horn.

Brooke Sharkey is cooking up a delicious ingredient for success with the strength of her songs, the talent of her fellow musicians, pooled with her unique mix of folk, gypsy-Jazz and French ballads. Brooke is one step ahead as it is often not until well into the commercial success of the likes of Laura Marling and Joni Mitchell’s did they begin experimenting with other genres and surrounding themselves with a band which takes the songs to new levels which Brooke is already fine-tuning.

FRANKY & THE JACKS ~ wailing harmonica and the screeching fiddle the sometimes dark and often caustic lyrics belie the foot stomping swing of the double bass and guitar.

INTO THE MOON

Balkan. Gypsy. Rock. Cabaret.

A young American lunatic with a big electric sound, anthems in his voice, a ravishing French violinist with a gypsy heart, and an seductively smart drummer lure you into a musical dream sequence splattered with laughter and sparkled with tears.

With their ears well steeped in the sounds of ?stanbul, the trio is digging deep for the raw materials that will be shaped into their first album.
