Trevor Moss & Hannah Lou | Film & Tour news

The ever-touring, multi-talented, thoroughly productive, cottage industry that is Trevor Moss & Hannah Lou are hatching another tour plan for June 2011 to see them on their way to Glastonbury Festival.  This time they’ll be trading their hard-working camper van, Namgyal, for a canal boat and playing pubs along the canal at the locations below. They’re joined by original line up from their Village Hall tour in 2010: Jack Day, Benjamin Folke Thomas, and the very welcomed, safe return of Pepe Belmonte..  Join them for some canal-side entertainment along the way, while the sun shines.

Prior to setting off on their canal tour they’ll be doing a London show at the Lexington on June 16th in case you can’t make the others.

Their new album ‘Quality First, Last & Forever!’ is released on June 20th on Heavenly Recordings.

We got to film them one breezy, sunny afternoon on a canal boat by Regent’s Park, and celebrated Hannah’s birthday with cake and fine wine.  Bon voyage!  Chocks away! (Or whatever the nautical equivalent is).

We also recommend checking this version out; their very own film of the same song with added jangles, balloons and boxing gloves.

Tales from the road

I recently had the great pleasure of tour managing Nashville’s Elizabeth Cook round the UK.  Here is a nice review from The Independent:

Elizabeth Cook, The Borderline, London (Rated 4/5) – by Matilda Battersby – Thursday, 13 January 2011

Greeting us with a characteristic “Hey, y’all”, Elizabeth Cook delivered a piece of Nashville to London last night. Like a life-size Barbie doll in a figure-hugging dress and cowboy boots, she tossed her blonde mane and clapped her hands together girlishly before wrapping her glossed lips around a set more emotive than the EastEnders baby-swap plot.

Cook’s not joking when she says her family provided her with “plenty of material”. Her mother was a “hillbilly singer” from Charleston who met her moonshine-runner daddy soon after he left Atlanta Federal Penitentiary. Her music is filled with tributes, both stark and humorous, to her kin.
