Livingstone's Kabinet
Two international outfits with Scottish connections deliver a diverting
selection of chanson at Pirate Jenny's tonight.
Hiberno-Danish cabaret duo
LIVINGSTONE'S KABINET, featuring NINA KAREIS (voice and accordion, from
Denmark) and PETE LIVINGSTONE (accordion, voice, keyboards, violin etc. from
Scotland), proved such a hit last spring that we've asked them back to
headline. The Kabinet regularly wow the crowd at Copenhagen's Café Theatre,
creating a lopsided, creaky world of largely original and inventive songs
that combine elements of Weimar cabaret with a contemporary sensibility, and
a good choice of covers from Weill through Fran Landesman to Pulp. "Kareis
is brilliant with her broken, haunting voice" commented the Scotsman of an
Edinburgh appearance.
New to Pirate Jenny's are KINKAJOU, a combination of rich-voiced singer
POLLY MACLEAN from Scotland with Yorkshireman ANDY CHAPMAN providing the
music, also featuring AL FIRRELL. The band's CD of quirky and inventive
songs, kicking off with a description of a bittersweet romantic triste
lubricated by a can of Irn Bru, immediately caught Jenny's attention and
we're looking forward to welcoming them to the stage.
Pirate Jenny's host and resident performer DES DE MOOR offers his own
mini-cabaret set. Des brings his unique and dramatic performance to moving
and witty originals as well as drawing on a selection of French, German and
Dutch material in original translations.
