Woodburner at Brunel Museum with Totally Thames Festival
The Brunel Museum Tunnel Shaft
Woodburner team up with Totally Thames Festival to bring you two phenomenal bands in the otherworldly surrounds of the Brunel Museum Tunnel Shaft.
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. The spellbinding voice that haunts Hackney’s back streets, the clarinet that floats through open windows with impossible lyricism, and the double bass that meanders beneath. 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.
ED DOWIE
Live electronica wizkid Ed Dowie uses his deep knowledge of sound design to create a unique, transportative, sonically rich experience for his audience. It’s a blend of live sounds, effect-laden vocals, and truly huge synth sounds that is completely immersive.
Ed started making music in the late 1990s with Brothers in Sound, releasing three EPs and an album on Regal Recordings and BMG. After several years composing music for theatre and short films, he embarked on a solo career in 2012, releasing two EPs which received praise from No Fear of Pop, 20 Jazz Funk Greats and The 405. His music has appeared on various short films and TV and has regularly featured on BBC Radio 3, BBC6 Music and Resonance FM. He’s recently signed to Lost Map Records (home of Pictish Trail, Rozi Plain & Kid Canaveral), who released his debut album, The Uncle Sold, in January 2017.

Organiser
For me, Woodburner is possibly the most important underground folk music event in London.
It began nearly a decade ago around a large woodburner in a squatted Hackney pub, The George and as far as I know it has always followed the same formula, an outrageously cheap door price and three outstandingly good musical acts.
Lovingly created and curated by the musician Theo Bard, Woodburner has been where, just about every musician in London has cut their teeth. This is where you would have heard Sam Lee and Nick Mulvey long before anyone mentioned a Mercury Prize.
Its Theo´s attention to detail which makes Woodburner so special. Every venue it moves to is carefully chosen for it ambiance and atmosphere, this combined with theo´s uncanny ability to select great acts makes for many magic evenings.
Excitingly, Woodburner has recently branched out from just their weekly event and are now involved is some spectacular collaborations. I am sure they will all carry the Woodburner quality with them.
