Hazel Winter
- Subject: Hazel Winter

Alas, I had a problem with my email last week and couldn't remind you West
Country folks that Hazel Winter was playing the Folk House in Bristol on
Friday 30th May.
She played a blinder with her three-piece backing band, all topped off
with weird projections on the wall behind. If you've ever heard Hazel and
know her style (Kristin Hersh meets PJ Harvey is the best I can do to
describe), then you can imagine how must scarier her songs are with
surreal home-cinema visuals. One piece was even accompanied by the
nightmarish bit of 'Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory' where they take
a boat through a tunnel and get faster and faster while Gene Wilder's face
gets bigger and bigger on camera. It's frightening, even when you're not
drunk!
Anyway, her new songs are powerful but difficult to take in, hearing them
only once. Fans of her first album 'Put Away the Sharp Knives' won't be
disappointed. The crowd was small but hugely supportive and I hope she'll
be keen to play another gig when the new album is released.
Speaking of which, what happened to Gerard's planned gig at the Cube?
