This is a FREE gig not to be missed.
Ken Cotter and Mark Slade will perform new songs from Ken’s forthcoming album ‘Anatomy of a Goddess’ in the Roundy on Friday 30th September. These songs are contemporary, but each one has been shone through the prism of one of the world’s great pieces of literature, James Joyce’s Ulysses.
This guitar/ piano/ vocal duo knit new folk, indie songs with piano rooted in the Classical genre. The sound lends itself perfectly to exploring the universal themes of Ulysses.
Each song is introduced with an apt reading from the book, ensuring that the marriage between 1904 and 2011 will be a happy one!!
Ken and Mark first collaborated on Ken’s album ‘Agent Orange’ in 2005. Since then they have been the backbone of Cork’s annual Bloomsday commemorations every June.
In September 2011, they were one of the first acts ever to play on Cork Harbour’s Spike Island. Their work on the new album ‘Anatomy’ sees their collaboration progress even further, including a co-written short classical piece based on one of the chapters of Ulysses! |
