(Press

Live
music from The Globe! … But you can only watch it on a screen, for now.
On Sunday 26
July the genre-defying trio Achipelago will be performing at The Globe. The gig
will be streamed live and you can watch it again at any time. The Globe
will remain closed to the public so please do not try to attend the gig in
person. We are planning to allow audiences in The Globe as soon as we
can accommodate them safely and within government guidelines.

Archipelago take
audiences on a journey that is exciting, genre-defying and unforgettable,
fusing jazz with alt-rock, blues folk melodies and otherworldly improvisations.
Fronted
by composer/saxophonist/clarinetist/vocalist Faye MacCalman and completed by
John Pope (Bass/FX) and Christian Alderson (Drums/Percussion), Archipelago
formed out of the North East of England’s fertile new music scene in 2016 after
crossing paths in ‘mutant funeral jazz big band’ The Midnight Doctors.
Taking
influence from artists ranging from Joni Mitchell to Don Cherry, Archipelago
move between instruments and electronic effects creating illusions of several
musicians, before peeling back to their raw trio form.
Supported
by BBC Introducing and selected as a highlight from Latitude Festival 2019 for
Tom Robinson’s BBC6 Music show, they were described as a ‘truly remarkable
unit’ by NARC Magazine.
‘Vibe all of its own. Listen!’ – Steve Lawson.
‘A shape-shifting sound’ – Kevin Le Gendre.
So
that the musicians can get paid, we ask you to pay a small ‘entrance fee’,
which we recommend should be £5 per person. If you are able to pay a bit more
this will be really welcome at this time when gig income for musicians has
almost completely stopped.
