IN THE SPOTLIGHT...<br />
HANNAH WHITE<br />
MUSIC<br />
Elephant Eye is the latest album<br />
from the fiercely independent and<br />
distinctly political singer-songwriter,<br />
Hannah White.<br />
With gripping production from Nigel Stonier<br />
(Thea Gilmore, Martha Wainwright, Joan Baez)<br />
and instrumental contributions from AMA 2017<br />
Instrumentalist of the Year Chris J Hillman<br />
(Billy Bragg, Joe Purdy), Paul Beavis (Andy<br />
Fairweather Low, Sandi Thom) and Jimmy<br />
Forres (adding a touch of Tom Waits) the<br />
album embodies Hannah’s characteristically<br />
catchy, sunny melodies that hover over greyer<br />
areas and cloudier depths.<br />
‘Elephant Eye’ continues the creative<br />
emergence of an artist who can deliver social<br />
conscience in the folk troubadour style of Judy<br />
Collins or Joan Baez’ - Country Music <strong>Magazine</strong><br />
‘One of the most exciting songstresses on the<br />
country music scene’ - Maverick <strong>Magazine</strong><br />
‘Together they deliver a very polished album<br />
with songs ranging from delicate country<br />
tinged ballads, political songs and harder<br />
edged numbers. White sings well, her voice<br />
high and light, at times reminiscent of Dolly<br />
Parton’ - Americana UK<br />
‘By this point you’re grasping for superlatives!’<br />
- there’s enough star quality here to make you<br />
excited about Hannah’s future’ - RnR <strong>Magazine</strong>.<br />
Somewhere between Patty Griffin and Billy<br />
Bragg, Hannah is an expression of the British<br />
struggle, a true artist of our time: an activist, a<br />
poet, a person who resolutely represents her<br />
class and her background in melodic, catchy<br />
tones and in perfect dignity.<br />
Hannah is also, together with her husband<br />
Keiron Marshall, the founder of The Sound<br />
Lounge, a Music and Arts venue that was<br />
established in Tooting throughout 2017. The<br />
venue was set up through crowd funding and<br />
hosted over 150 independent artists from<br />
around the UK, Europe and the US. The SL<br />
ran an AQA accredited training programme<br />
in sound engineering, barista, and community<br />
event management. The courses were<br />
offered at no cost to the refugees/asylum<br />
seekers, young people leaving care, long term<br />
unemployed or other vulnerable groups. The<br />
venue also made available free coffee mornings<br />
for the disadvantaged in the community.<br />
In 2016, prompted by harrowing television<br />
images of a young boy washed up on a Turkish<br />
beach, Hannah began to travel back and forth<br />
to the refugee camp in Calais aptly named<br />
‘The Jungle’. She went as a volunteer in 2016,<br />
on several occasions bringing with her food,<br />
clothing, sleeping bags and tents. Hannah<br />
continues her humanitarian work. She has<br />
returned to London from Chamonix in October<br />
where she performed for survivors of Grenfell.<br />
