We are are delighted that award winning musician and composer Andy Panayi https://www.andypanayi.co.uk/ap/ will be performing with us in this gig. Music from the Sofa, www.musicfromthesofa.com, is the title for Nigel Goss?s composition/band project. In the years it has run there have been gigs in churches, pubs, halls, Sussex barns, patches of grass, a yurt and at the Brunswick, Hove? often in support of charity. Nigel?s compositions range from electronic/soundscapes, through crossover jazz and even pieces for church bells. Alongside the instrumentals he has composed many songs. People seem to want an identifiable genre for music. An attempt has been made to comply with this though it has to said this is unreliable at best. There are then two more ?sitting down? related bands. Tightback Lawson is the title for the songs that can be said to be alternative pop with jazz and soul elements. Cushion the Blow is the band that performs the more folky, country, humorous and bittersweet songs. In our June showcase at the Brunswick we will perform Music from the Sofa crossover jazz pieces and follow with a Cushion the Blow set of country rock songs for which some of us will wear hats and maybe more dressing up. We might sneak in a track from our Tightback Lawson EP, due for release later this year. There are a couple of lockdown song videos that we will perform live on the night. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mEviho-xd_s. and
https://www.youtube.com/watch? v=S0X0GqM86E8. - featuring many of the current band. Siony Foulds is our talented vocalist giving life to Nigel?s songs.
There is a video of a Music from the Sofa jazz performance http://www.musicfromthesofa.com/jazz.html. Both bands have great local musicians who come from Eastbourne, Seaford and Brighton.
