Paper Aeroplanes..
Paper Aeroplanes is Sarah Howells and Richard Llewellyn. Their musical partnership began six years ago in small town West Wales and in 2009 they released their debut album âThe Day we ran into the Seaâ.
The album with its distinctive sound under Sarahâs beautiful vocals was described by the BBCâs Adam Walton as âbrilliantly crafted and stoked from a bruised heartâs embersâ, and BBC Radio Wales as âthe finest radio album to come out of Wales since Rockferryâ.
Since its release they have made the Radio 2 playlist and supported acts as varied as Ron Sexsmith, Ed Sheeran, Marina and the Diamonds and Chris Wood, as well as securing a live session with the legendary Bob Harris.
Having been compared to the likes of Gemma Hayes, Turin Brakes and Nerina Pallot, this year they released mini-album âWe are Ghostsâ to more critical acclaim and reviews such as âWith songs this good, Paper Aeroplanes deserve a far wider audienceâ â BBC Musicâs Robin Denselow; âAlbum of the Monthâ â Maverick Magazine and being picked for The Guardianâs âF&M playlistâ.
Paper Aeroplanes are taking those words that you hear in your head and shooting them across the ether. Come fly with themâŚ
Death at Sea
Theyâre awash with the depth and danger of maritime nightmares. Theyâre the place where coruscating noise meets haunting pop melody and brutal lyrical honesty. Theyâre Sonic Youth, Pavement, The Strokes and Echo And The Bunnymen eating each other on a raft adrift in the Arctic Ocean. Theyâre Death At Sea, the best band to emerge from a vapid Liverpool scene in decades. And theyâve come to give rock the kiss of life. Theyâve got all the characters. Sam Peterson, the art-Â?rock guitarist with the tortured past. Ruaidhri Owens, the technical home-Â studio whizz kid, capable of making an entire album on knackered equipment held together with old school ties. Carl Davies, the hyperactive drummer spooling endless tales of shark documentaries and Merseyside scene gossip. Neale Davies, Carlâs bassist brother; the silent, swarthy enigmatic one. And Ralph Kinsella, the taciturn art-Â?school poet on a mission to admonish his sailings and discover his true nature through his lyrics. âIt comes from a constant state of melancholy,â Ralph admits. âSometimes itâs about me being an asshole and writing about it, admit and cope with that.â
Tom George… plays Mello Mello
Tom George is an artist itâs impossible to pigeonhole, as he spreads his talents across music, poetry, journalism and film.
After starting out as a drummer and guitarist in various bands, he has performed extensively as a solo singer-songwriter in the UK, Europe and Africa and released two CDs.
Tom is also well-known on the poetry circuit, having performed around the country and featuring in several poetry anthologies as well as his own collections.
At live gigs, Tom often combines music with poetry, and has continued this approach in one-man shows at Liverpoolâs Unity Theatre, and performances at Glastonbury Festival and on Channel 4 television.
Tom regularly writes about music and culture for Bido Lito, The Stool Pigeon, getintothis.com and his own magazine, Slacker Sounds.
Tom is next playing at The Free Rock’n’Roll all-dayer at Mello Mello on 27th Oct. Onstage upstairs at 4pm. Hope to see you there.

Deliverance, an Exhibition at the Albert Dock by Terry Hayes.
Join Terry this Friday 19th October for the opening of his exhibition, as part of the Long Night celebrations. Unit 8, The Collonades, Albert Dock until 9pm.
Terry Hayes…
“Deliverance is a poem I wrote, days after the Independent Panel released their evidential findings. I have printed the poem onto an old scroll, and made a Liverbird as the message carrier.
âMcRingsâ invites the viewer to explore the interactions between publicly and privately funded events such as the Olympics, and asks them to examine the eventual economic returns and consequences, and who they favour.
Constructed from cooked and dehydrated french fries, and resin bonded into 5 hoops measuring 4 feet across in total, the golden âolympic ringsâ sit atop a suitably scaled âfrench fryâ holder.”
