Duck Soup ALBUM LAUNCH + Special Guests

Come and celebrate the arrival of Duck Soup's long-awaited 4th album Anatidaephobia, with a lazy Sunday afternoon of fun & frolics!
Duck Soup will be hosting, joined by the unique rock & roll stylings of Graham Larkbey, the wonky songwriting of L C Pumpkin, the youthful grooves of Seven Stars - and the incomparable DJ Stephen Drennan on the wheels of steel!
---
Duck Soup is a happy accident! Three friends from different musical backgrounds who thought it would be fun to record a tune or two together, and haven't stopped playing in nearly 20 years!
Our sound is based around Dan Quinn's melodeon and vocals, which keep us firmly rooted in English tradition even when we're playing tunes from Canada, Barbados or beyond.
Whatever instrument Ian Kearey plays (bass, dobro, mandolin, tipple...), he provides solid groove. He's a man that can find the rock'n'roll heart of any traditional ballad, and vice versa.
And Adam Bushell’s array of instruments (marimba, mandolin, morin khuur, phonofiddle...) might not immediately make you think of folk music, but the way he plays them certainly will – from polka-ing with a marimba to ballad-ing with a phonofiddle.
It all ends up as a glorious cross between an English tune session in your favourite pub and a collision in an instrument shop.
-----
Seven Stars is a kids' folk band from Newhaven featuring violins, cellos, guitar and clarinet, led by Adam Bushell & Rachel Fryer. Expect to hear a mixture of traditional English and American music, and to have fun!
-------
LC Pumpkin is a low-fidelity one-man band playing fuzz banjo while hitting pads of a sampler via a metal arm clamped to the banjo with a cork on the end of it. Astonishingly, his self-released, no-budget home-recordings have been played on national radio by Tom Ravenscroft, Jarvis Cocker, Stuart Maconie and Gideon Coe, as well as by some other DJs no-one's ever heard of.
According to one review "LC Pumpkin is a name everyone should know and remember. Sadly they don't."
---
London & Swansea folk-club and pub-rock veteran Graham Larkbey does his solo thang. Straight songs, silly songs, own songs, improbable cover versions - expect the unexpected (but don't expect many folk songs).
