Thursday 7th September - Pete Molinari at The Adelphi Club

Pete Molinari, whose album, Walking Off the Map on Damaged Goods Records is launched on Monday 4th September will be playing the Adelphi this week. With special guests Rory Mansfield (No-Nothings and Seagulls) and Matt Edible (Holy Orders) it's a night not to be missed! Pete Molinari is a folk blues singer/songwriter of Egyptian / Maltese parentage, raised in from Chatham, England, where he was discovered by Billy Childish.

He's been playing solo for a few years, and has become a fixture in his hometown and various London acoustic clubs like What's Cookin in Leytonstone and The Spitz. During an 18 month stint in America, he honed his unique vocal style playing the bars and cafes of New York's Greenwich Village like the Bitter End, the Gaslight, Cafe Wah, Café De L'Artists - places where Jack Kerouac and his beat poets read and also the likes of Woody Guthrie, Leadbelly, Ramblin Jack Elliot and Dylan all played.

On his travels, Pete got to play with some of the best players that were part of Dylan/ Phil Ochs scene like Justin Devereaux and Eric Fransen who was later invited by Dylan to join his Rolling Thunder Revue. Pete says: They thought it was real strange that a kid of my age from England could play this kind of music in a more authentic way than any of the Americans they normally see in the Village. In NYC Pete also won fans like Vincent Gallo and legendary photographer Louis Stettner.

As Pete says: I've traveled a long road to get here. These songs have been on that road. From playing little places in Chatham and London to the late night coffee houses of Greenwich Village, Memphis, New Orleans, San Francisco, LA and Paris. I seem to be drawn to these places. There's something more real about it for me. More close to the earth and that's where my music belongs. Thats at the heart of this album. Walking Off The Map is his first release, recorded live on half track in Billy's kitchen - which is how Billy's wife Julie came to sing on Alone And Forsaken? and duets with Pete on We Belong Together?

Two other friends, Wolf and Jim, sat in on percussion and blues harp respectively. Says Pete: By recording with Billy on his old tape machine in his kitchen I feel we got a bit of that old spirit that I love so much about those old records. The ones that were thrown to one side in my house as a child ... Hank Williams, Johnny Cash ... I can only thank God that they were. I think he can go on to follow in the footsteps of greats like Dylan, Guthrie and where few others rarely go ... Laura Davis, NME.
