Like a musical incarnation of ‘Seahenge‘ the band bore fruit from deep within the underground folk scene, while the roots to their name were found in the upper reaches of Greek mythology and the writing of the 17th century English poet John Milton. Comus’ legacy grows more acute with each passing decade, with Swedish Death-Metal outfit Opeth and British Apocalyptic-Folk group Current 93 heading the roll call of admirers. Tune in to hear them perform something old and – perhaps – something new!
Jack Allett is a 26 year old guitarist from Camberwell, South London. As a member of Towering Breaker and under his erstwhile pseudonym, Spoono, he has – over the past 6 years or so – released LPs, 7″s and CDrs on a plethora of labels (inc. Blackest Rainbow, Great Pop Supplement, Chocolate Monk, Psykick Dancehall…) In 2011 he has a solo LP – the first under his real name – planned for release on Blackest Rainbow, and a collaborative LP with Cam Deas to be issued on Present Time Exercises.
Also, journalist / musician Neil Walsh conducts an interview with the author Jeanette Leech about her new book, Seasons They Change: The Story of Acid & Psychedelic Folk (Jawbone Press)
