Soul4Soul Celebrates the Best of British as part of LIMF(Liverpool International Music Festival) Fringe

Soul4Soul is Liverpool's only regular live soul music event. The event aims to provide a platform for up & coming talent, together with established artists and musicians. Artists performing this month are Kristyna Myles, Ami Langton & The Exchange Band

KRISTYNA MYLES

Kristyna got her first break back in 2005 busking on the streets of Manchester, winning ‘BBC Radio Five Live Busk Idol’ along with her guitarist Ben Williams. The Manchester based songstress has since then been on tour of Europe, performed her songs on BBC 1, BBC Radio 2, BBC Radio 4 and her self-penned song ‘My Lord’ was featured on a Universal Records compilation CD ‘Songbird 2008’ with the likes of Amy Winehouse, Eva Cassidy and Erykah Badu. 

Performing live is where Kristyna is most comfortable. Her first public performance aged 4 in the Church choir was a sign of things to come. Kristyna has performed globally at SXSW in the states, at arenas across Europe with Chris De Burgh and has opened for Mick Hucknall, Will Young, Status Quo, Pink Martini, M People and last summer for Lemar and The Wanted at Jersey’s Big Gig in The Park. Kristyna is also an ambassador for Centrepoint, a UK based charity giving young homeless people a hope and a future. Last year Kristyna embarked on a busking tour of the UK to raise money for the charity and later met patron of Centrepoint HRH Prince William and Prince Harry. Kristyna is still on her quest to raise more funds for the charity on her next tour.

Kristyna released her debut single “I’m not going back” in 2012 on Decca Records receiving critical acclaim in Music Week with featured articles in The Daily Mail and The Sun. Kristyna awaits the release of her debut album produced by Grammy Award winning producer- Ken Nelson (Coldplay, Paolo Nutini, Gomez) in 2013.  Songs on the album span a 10 year period from one of her earliest written songs “Betrayal” at age 16 to “Make it right” some 10 years later. ‘Pinch Me Quick’ Kristyna’s debut album will be out later this year.

AMI LANGTON AND THE EXCHANGE BAND

Ami Langton and the Exchange Band are a four piece Jazz-Soul-Funk outfit from Liverpool. All members have been in and around the Liverpool music scene for a number of years now, each playing in a wide variety of different bands with an array of talented musicians. 

All songs are original compositions, with music and arrangements coming from Guitarist; Karl McCabe, whose influences are from the cross-over styles of Al Jerrau, Grover Washington Jr. and Bob James.

The vocal side is the work of main protagonist; Ami Langton, whose mix of power Soul-Funk vocals coupled with her melodic lilt of 40's and 50's jazz singers, marries perfectly with her original lyrics and melody. 

The rhythm section consisting of Drummer; D Fresh and The Mak of all Trades on bass, adds an extra element of Hip-Hop and RnB to their exciting new sound. 

Ami Langton and the Exchange Band should appeal to music lovers in general as this collective serves up a musical style not often heard in bars and clubs in Liverpool these days.

Venue : Studio 2 Parr Street

Date: Sunday 25th August 2013

Soul Inspired Events Presents Robbie Boyd + Special Guests Live at Elevator Bar 24th May

Hattie Pearson, Xfm – ‘I can’t express how much I love this band; can’t get enough of them!’

Tom Deacon, BBC Radio 1 – “Brilliant”

Dave Gorman, Absolute Radio – “Great track, more than deserves to rub shoulders with

Pulp & Elbow”

Graham Norton, BBC Radio 2 – “Isn’t that a lovely thing?! Very nice indeed”

Drenched in sunny nostalgia, Robbie Boyd shares the musical spirit of Paul Simon, Noah & the Whale and Coldplay. His feel good folk-pop songs have already earned him national recognition with a live performance on ITV’s ‘This Morning’ to 1.3 million people, his singles have been played on Xfm, Absolute Radio and 6 Music and he was invited to perform on Chris Evans’ BBC Radio 2 Breakfast Show. His band made the top 20 of MTV’s Brand New Unsigned for 2013, and have toured Argentina, Italy, France, Germany and the UK. They have played on the same bill as The Kooks, Johnny Flynn, and Daughter, and graced the stages of the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire, Hyde Park, Bestival and Wilderness Festival.

Discovered busking on the streets of London, Robbie grew up listening to and being inspired by artists like James Taylor, Bob Dylan and The Beatles. Music runs deep in Robbie’s veins and he’s been singing and playing guitar from a very early age. Robbie has built a large international fan base of 9,000 Facebook fans and 500,000 YouTube channel views. His live shows have been positively reviewed in The Times, Evening Standard and The Telegraph. His former single ‘When I Believe’ was chosen as Record of the Day’s ‘Record of the Day’ and his first air played song ‘Oh Alaska’ made the finals of the International Songwriting Competition in Nashville.

Robbie’s charming songwriting and distinctive vocals combine with colourful arrangements and nostalgic harmonies. He works with an eclectic mix of talented musicians, to produce an exciting and uplifting contemporary urban folk sound. Just in time for the summer, ‘Painted Sky’ is an upbeat four track EP featuring ‘Before It Falls Apart’, ‘Oh Alaska’, ‘Red Queen’ and new single ‘I Want You To Stay’.

Soul4Soul Presents Soul-Full Spring [28th April Studio 2 Parr Street 8pm]

Soul4Soul is Liverpool's only regular live soul music event. The event aims to provide a platform for up & coming and established artists and musicians. April's events features Charlie Ashdown and Christina Malley

CHARLOTTE ASHDOWN

Although her music definitely reflects the RnB genre, CHARLOTTE ASHDOWN is not your stereotypical ‘dress-to-impress’ artist.Influenced by artists like Jill Scott and John Legend, Charlotte’s niche music brings back the old-school RnB/Soul sound, but with a modern twist. Her 4-piece all male band makes the songs come to life combining groovy bass patterns, soulful melodies, strong beats and ambient guitars. Even though her voice has often been compared to powerful singers like Joss Stone, Charlotte’s vocals are hardly something you come across every day. Working hard in and out of the studio, you can feel that her heart and soul has gone into every song which you’ll find yourself humming for days on end.

CHRISTINA MALLEY

The last couple of years have been quiet for Christina but have included sharing the stage with the likes of Karima Francis, Norway's new hottest star Mikhael Paskalev and New jersey's finest songstress Allie Moss! 2013 sees the return of Christina Malley to the liverpool music scene and back to her music roots with a new EP aimed for release in autumn.

SOUL4SOUL PRESENTS NEW BEGINNINGS, A CELEBRATION OF LOVE FT JC VILLAFAN, OGO & THE S4S VOCALISTS

The first session of this year starts with 2 amazing singer/songwriters JC Villafan & Ogo.

JC VILLAFAN
LA's own JC Villafan recently released his EP, Sweet Time to critical acclaim and it's gathering a lot of airplay in Europe at the moment. His journey as a musician started when he was 16 after picking up a guitar. Travelling to & performing in Utah, Texas, Tennessee & places in between at a young age helped to develop his performance, perspective on life & music.

Along with providing an original sound of incredible music, Jc does his part to give back to the community. He is constantly involved with non-profit organizations that give back to our communities locally, nationally, and globally.

He has also worked with successful groups and fellow artists such as The sense of sound choir, Sandi Thom Russell Watson and many many more.
