Acclaimed singer-songwriter GITTA DE RIDDER, an ex-Londoner hailing from the Netherlands, will finally be returning to the UK for some long overdue touring. With travel-restrictions (now well behind us), building a house on the Dutch Newlands and giving birth to a baby girl she hasn’t been up on stage for a while now. So high time then that she returns to the Green Note with her songs old and new. This evening promises to be a special one revealing a glimpse of what is to come on her 4th record.
“Packed full with love, warmth and introspection. A Mary Poppins & Joni Mitchell hybrid providing a musical antidote to any soul-ailments with a spoon full of song”
“de Ridder manages to cross genre-borders from modern folk and new acoustics to pop throughout her records while maintaining a clearly recognisable sound and style. Where the poetry of words meets the honesty and rawness of folk music, she brings in a lightness and pop-edge without losing sight of meaning and authenticity”.
Support comes from London-based duo ‘Lovell’
LOVELL (rhymes with shovel) is the musical project of guitarist, singer-songwriter Hannah Lovell, and drummer, clarinetist and co-arranger @kidkirbymusic. Musically, it’s an inventive and effortless combination of brazen grunge and garage rock, tight pop-punk harmonies, and folk and acoustic stylings; lyrically, it’s everywhere.
“Those with reservations regarding whether songs about quantum mechanics and historical badasses make catchy tunes will have their doubts squashed within moments of Lovell’s track, “Polyester”. This is an ear worm of the highest order, and when the next tune on the setlist is called “Medieval Bitch”, you know there’s no letting up after that.”
Doors open 7pm. Music starts 8.30pm. The venue is mixed seated and standing. Tables are limited and available on a first come first served basis so, if you’d like a seat, we recommend arriving early!
