Ash Mandrake
“Occasionally, when moons from distant planets draw in line, and whales murmur symphony scores from ocean beds, you may see an artist so startling and original that the experience defies description. Ash Mandrake is the type of artist so unusual, so totally distinctive, that there is no 'type' to pigeonhole his style or delivery into. Ash Mandrake, frankly, is a genus of music and performance entirely to himself; a new species of music and musician. Something magical, astonishing and perplexing is happening right in front of you. It's as if a woodland sprite has come to life, or an oak tree has walked in, tuned up and started sharing its Mysteries. Collectively you are hypnotised. This is what a singer sounds like who has no need for conventions, who is beyond normal boundaries, beyond normal reality. It sounded, for all the earthly world, like the songs of mushrooms in autumn: rootsy, earthy, wild… Look, listen, and marvel.”
An intense performer with the vocal range of Tim Buckley. Folk-infused with influences from around the world incorporating music, loop machines, stories and comedy. Watch out for the double necked guitar, hats and costumes!
