Join legendary jazz/folk pioneers Whiskey Moon Face for the close of 2022's epic summer season at Dalston Curve Garden.
Whiskey Moon Face
The result of a thousand drunken nights, countless dreamy days, and years of musical adventuring, Whiskey Moon Face take you on a voyage into a bohemian underworld which you never knew existed.
Born into a puddle of whiskey beneath a stark winter moon and raised by cold winds, schooled in the warming spirits and hungry for more, Whiskey Moon Face manage a natural, graceful sound built from many ports.
Always innovating and improvising with stark originality, Louisa Jones’ troupe of underground musicians play with a virtuosity you could never expect. Songs which speak of the unspeakable, with understated humour, captivating storytelling and a transcendent spirituality.
"The music of Whiskey Moon Face is charming and difficult to categorise... Jones’ songs are a wonderful jumble of styles." London Jazz News
"The end result of listening to One Blinding Dusky Dusk is akin to having been at one of those wild and joyous youthful parties in somebody else’s parents’ house that you’ll remember for years." - Folk Radio UK
NUALA
Imagine the recipe for your favourite cake, but that cake is a musician. You mix the ingredients, bake it well, and make it look pretty. Serving powerful vocals, masterful lyrics and tasteful melodies is what Nuala does best.
Growing up in Earl Shilton, a small town in Leicestershire, a ten-year-old Nuala found a passion for songwriting & performing. She joined a rock covers band at thirteen before setting out on her path as a solo artist, playing as many local pubs and venues as she could.
She eventually moved to London and became a full-time busker, playing a slew of gigs around the city and booking festivals.
The culmination of years of hard work, Nuala released her debut EP ‘Me&Me’ in October 2020, an ode to her chameleonic talents and witty world view. ’Me&Me’ is a personal, heartfelt journey about a woman trying to figure herself out, being honest about who she is as a person and owning the mistakes she has made.
Unbound by genre, Nuala stirs elements of Indie-POP, Reggae, and Soul into the mix.
Looking up to artists like Bob Marley, Lily Allen, Fiona Apple, Nirvana, and equally influenced by the human experience, her music is an eclectic body of work that is honest, raw, and speaks to a diverse group of fans. Her compelling sound has seen her gain support from the likes of Steve Lamacq, BBC Radio London, BBC Radio Leicester, the Evening Standard M-Magazine (PRS for Music) and many more.
