Dan Messore All You Need to Know

Dan Messore is a broad minded and eclectic musician. After travelling extensively and settling in Central America for several years, he returned to the UK and completed a MA in jazz and composition at the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama in Cardiff. He has since gone on to be a much in demand musician and spanning scenes and genres. It’s to the guitarist/composer’s credit, that his right hand man in his quartet “Indigo Kid” is mentor and ex-Loose Tubes sideman, the incredible British saxophonist Iain Ballamy. Who has also produced Messore’s eponymous debut recording of the same name. http://www.danmessore.co.uk/indigo-kid/ Ballamy has reams of praise for the young guitarist. They met whilst Messore was studying, but their relationship quickly developed into that of master and pupil. The mentor pulling Messore into the view of the British jazz community where he has flourished and pushed on to new ground. As a member of the up and coming band Little Arrow who’s album “Wild Wishes” was nominated for the Welsh Music Prize 2013. Messore brings a wealth of intricately crafted components, effected sounds, contemporary rock explosions and musicianship to the beauty of William Hughes’ songwriting. The band is on the rise and gaining a great following, they are set to record their third album to be released in 2014. http://www.littlearrow.co.uk/ Regular guest with ‘Michelson Morley’ A melodic, atmospheric, minimalist music led by Get The Blessing saxophonist Jake McMurchie and featuring the best of Bristol’s jazz scene in the form of Will Harris on bass, Mark Whitlam on drums, and also featuring special guest and vortex regular Dan Messore on guitar. Electronics and acoustic instruments combine with an evolutionary approach to improvisation to create scientifically aural magic. http://michelsonmorley.com/ He is also a founding member of hit theatre show The Bloody Ballad. http://www.gagglebabble.co.uk/our-shows/bloody-ballad/ which has leaped from strength to strength having enjoyed several awards from their recent run at the Edinburgh Fringe. Messore plays guitar in the Nashville and rockabilly surf style in this role. The show has received rave reviews and awards. They will be performing at Brighton Fringe and touring extensively in 2014. Messore is someone who has inherited and absorbed a diverse range of music, and has played all over the world. He might draw from the sensitive side of post-contemporary fusion where Pat Metheny meets Kurt Rosenwinkel but is also filled with the rich folk-rock traditions of a John Fahey, with touches of Bill Frisells’ Americana/Nashville and the recently departed Bert Jansch. Messore’s sweet folky harmonies and dreamily chiming open chords recall the misty mountain landscapes of Led Zeppelin. While his wild side fuses the psychedelia of Hendrix and the wistfulness of Jeff Buckley. He is constantly voyaging into new musical territory via respectful learning of the historical and cultural traditions, as well as being inspired by the great individuality that’s expressed by musicians of our time. Messore runs a residency at top UK jazz club The Vortex in London ‘View From The Tower’ is a septet featuring the pinnacle of the countries players, a revolving line up Gareth Lockrane, Dave Hamblett, Rory Simmons, Trish Clowes, Simon Roth, Rick Simpson, Mike Chillingworth, Tom Farmer, Steve Watreman, Dave Manington and Elliot Galvin. The material consists of his and others arrangements, exploring great British contemporary composers from the last four decades.

McCrei All You Need to Know

McCrei were formed in 2012, when the two sisters, Leanne and Shannon McCrei began sharing their life experiences through song writing and started gigging on the Camden acoustic circuit. Fast forward three years and the sisters have performed at over 250 gigs including the O2 Academy, The Hope, The Cavern, Distillers, Rochester Castle and various other venues throughout England .

In 2014 the record producer Alan Glass (whose credits include Aretha Franklin, Misteeq and The Lighthouse Family) discovered McCrei on social media and requested to co write with the girls. McCrei wrote four songs to Alan's beats including the song 'I'm Missing You' which is featured on the film 'Last Round', for which McCrei performed in April at the premier in London.

In January 2015 the record label Disco Soul Gold Music (DSG Music) heard McCrei's music being played on a radio show and approached McCrei resulting in Show Me being released as a single through DSG on the 8th June. The song has also been remixed by Nigel Lowis (production credits include Dinah  Carroll, Eternal, Take That) and as of the 12th July 2015, Show Me is currently at Number 2 in the UK Soul Charts. McCrei's second single release of 2015 is planned for September and features the same production team as Show Me.

Inspired by an introduction into traditional Soul, Disco and Funk, their music takes some direction while staying true to their signature style. McCrei's musical influences include James Brown, Whitney Houston, Teena Marie, Roberta Flack, Stevie Wonder, Joss Stone and Aretha Franklin. 

In  December 2014, Leanne and Shannon were introduced to an experienced musician trio consisting of Tom O.Mitchell, Charlotte Whiting and Neil Cornwell who have since become McCrei's backing band for live shows.  

"Show Me is one of the best UK productions around at the moment." Peter Young - Jazz FM

“Amazing amazing voice!!!!” Kimberly James – CBM Records 

"I hope people know how good you are!" Alan Glass - Record Producer 

"Such great talented young ladies. Ivory Soul at it's best." DSG Music 

"Really powerful vocals girls, really like the voices..........a lot!"  Wet Wet Wet's Graeme Clark 

"Absolutely blown away by the new music from McCrei"Jude Bumby - Tour Manager

"London may be the epicentre of U.K. politics for now but its music contribution to the four countries has been woefully short over the last 20 years, McCrei have injected some much needed attention to that lack of serious involvement. One to watch out for in the coming 12 months!" Ian D.Hall Liverpool Sound and Vision

"What a voice - so strong! And that's what you need to be on the radio and have hits, they deserve it" David Bash - International Pop Overthrow Festival at The Cavern in Liverpool
