For those that enjoy great music that is different – this is a superb mixture of British Hurdy Gurdy, Rock with European folk. It rocks!!
| Lou Loudhailer@LoudhailerUKThe first review of our upcoming @AgentStarlingUK album “… an album that both respects and goes far beyond the traditions of Hurdy-Gurdy and European Folk, embracing genres and creating lovely textures. You will not hear another album like this in 2022.”Trust the Doc twitter.com/TrustTheDocUK/… |

Hull has a thriving Music Scene – it is just that the rest of the country hasn’t cottoned on.
Back in the eighties the Red Guitars were threatening to be massive. They were edgy and different with all their African Salsa beats coupled with great lyrics, a left-wing ideology and Punk ethos. They did it their way and it worked.
It was a great shame when they split. It happens so often. Who knows what might have happened? They had the potential.
Lou Duffy-Howard went on to take that fabulous Bass into Planet Wilson.
Now she and Rich are Loudhailer and promoting and performing music in Hull. They put on the Nick Harper gig in Cottingham.
Their Loudhailer Electric Company are the best psychedelic band in the land. They are recording an album and doing a few gigs. Catch them if you can! They’re fab! I’m expecting big things and I’ve been promised an Opher Sofa in Wembley arena.
The reason I’m writing this is because RECORD COLLECTOR have just released their latest edition. It has some articles on minor Rock stuff like THE WHO, ARTHUR LEE & LOVE, RICK WAKEMAN, GRATEFUL DEAD and BILL HALEY but the really important thing is that it has a great in depth article on the BRILLIANT RED GUITARS!!!!
So I would advise everyone to rush out and buy it. Then we can all think about what might have been and ponder on what is to come!
This is the wonderful Loudhailer Electric Company Psychedelic Band at the Adelphi!
The BEST PSYCHEDELIC BAND IN THE COUNTRY!!!!!
Then there’s Hull Songs –
Rich and Lou are putting on Hull Songs – gathering tales and performances about Hull. I’m doing my story!
It’ll be great. Do support it and cheer madly!!
