A special evening celebrating the launch of 'Holding Hands' , the new single from The Magic Lantern and the immanent release of Spindle Ensemble's debut album 'Bea'. The Magic Lantern The Magic Lantern is the musical moniker of Jamie Doe, a rising start of London's diverse music scene. A songwriter and composer drawing on jazz, folk and contemporary music, his third album 'To The Islands' was written following a tumultuous journey to Australia, after nearly 10 years away and explores memory and hope in a world of near constant uncertainty. 'To The Islands' is due for release in the spring of 2017/18. For this single launch party for 'Holding Hands' The Magic Lantern will be performing with quartet accompanied by saxophone trio. Very, very special Lauren Laverne, BBC 6 Music Intriguing, compelling and exceptional. A man to watch The Guardian www.the-magic.lantern.co.uk Spindle Ensemble The Spindle Ensemble are an experimental acoustic instrumental group from Bristol, formed in 2016.
