Tu-kay & Ryan

Bio:

Tu-kay & Ryan are an award winning Northamptonshire based acoustic duo, blurring the lines between alt-folk, Americana and roots music.

They have become known for their lush harmonies and heartfelt lyrics. Their songs encourage a positive outlook on life, even when things may be tough.

They are optimists at heart and believe there is always a light at the end of the tunnel, no matter how small or distant it may seem.

hazeyjane

Bio:

“I loved hazeyjane’s E.P. Kanre and can’t wait to hear the new album. Do check this band out. It’s lovely, beautifully crafted music.” — Dave Pegg, Fairport Convention

"…absolutely love it. Beautiful. From the very first notes, it brought to mind one of my all time favourite albums, Hejira by Joni Mitchell. I couldn’t pay it a better compliment than that." — Ric Sanders, Fairport Convention

"...lovely, lovely stuff!" — Gary Clark, ex-Danny Wilson

Composer, acoustic guitarist and singer Chris Brown created hazeyjane as the vehicle for the musical expression of his songs and adaptations of select pieces of poetry. Chris' voice - often said to resemble that of David Sylvian - and the exquisite figures and motifs of his ambient acoustic guitar, provide distinctively airy, graceful and spacious songs.

He is joined by Kevin T Ward's signature singing fretless bass and the nuanced sounds and textures of celebrated master percussionist David 'Hopi' Hopkins. More recently, singer-songwriter Corinne Lucy’s beguiling vocal skills and classically trained pianist Anna Plaminiak have added a further level of harmonic detail to the band who are now developing a more collaborative approach to songwriting, composition and arrangement.


Anima Rising

Year: 2020

Description:

Chris’ voice has been compared to that of Japan’s David Sylvian: combine that with his ambient acoustic guitar style accompanied by Corinne’s dulcet tones, and the listener is in for a treat.

If ever an album was out there to release stress or just calm you when you’ve had a rough day then this is it.. the songs are beautiful, almost spiritual at times, never mind your whale song – go out and buy this and totally chill out to your heart’s content.

Nigel Lewis

Bio:

Nigel Lewis' music speaks of love, loss, nostalgia & generally matters of the heart.

After performing in various bands playing various genres of music from Pop/Rock to Punk/New Wave, I am now enjoying my new lease of life as a solo artist. You can find me “out and about” with a 6 string acoustic performing at open mic nights, gigs, festivals & other musical events which I advertise regularly.

Although I generally perform original material I do play covers I like in my own Pop/Rock style from time to time. My songs reflect life events, places, people & personal experiences. Other artists who continue to have a big influence on my writing include, Elvis Costello, Ray Davies, Difford & Tilbrook, Neil Finn, & many more.


A Head Full of Ghosts & Memories

Year: 2019

Description:

In June 2019 Nigel released the debut album “A Head Full of Ghosts & Memories” containing 12 self penned songs recorded, mixed and mastered at Tu-Kay records.
