SUMMARY:An evening of music with ‘Blue Doves’
DESCRIPTION:An evening of Songs and Improvised Music with ‘BLUE DOVES’ featuring Rob Mills, Pili Lopez, Rick Foot and Rob Howes.\n\n\nFour of our finest and most experienced musicians conjuring music from thin air and delighting with a selection of songs from a variety of traditions.\n\n\nPili Lopez says she started singing before being born from her mum’s womb, that’s  what it feels like to her!\nShe grew up in the rich community singing society of Galicia in northwest Spain and after a short stint as Chouteira’s folk band singer and accordion player starting leading community choirs in 1994. She has hardly ever stopped doing so from south Spain to Derbyshire, back to Galicia and now in Dorset. She especially enjoys singing folk songs from around the world with non familiar (to a Western ear) harmonies and learning different techniques through them, from Indian classical note bending to Eastern European open throat and Western African energising style using the whole body.\n\n\n\nRob Mills ( saxophonist) is a musician and composer who has performed and toured internationally, now resident in Purbeck.  Rob often plays with The Trackside Cooptimists – a changing collection of local musicians, and the Swanage Jazz Machine.\n\nRick Foot is a double bassist and writer of sardonic songs. As a bass player his background is in jazz and abstract improvisation, and much of his current work is with acoustic singer/songwriters, most recently touring with the Ruth Theodore Band and Kirsty McGee. He has recorded and performed with many people across a range of genres, from folk musicians Nancy Kerr and James Fagan to saxophonists Dick Heckstall-Smith and Evan Parker.\nAs a songwriter he has released an album (Rain Machine) and an EP (Songs of Idiocy & Expedience) of his own work, which he performs solo with voice, bass and loop device. His 39-second miniature A Message to the Future was a finalist in the 2018 International Songwriting Competition.\n\n\n\nRoom 14 , Sandy Hill Arts , Tickets £10\n
