Neighbourhood are chuffed to announce that their first show of 2012 will be headlined by one of their favourite acts The Mariners Children at the Slaughtered Lamb on Saturday 21st January!
The Mariner’s Children are a 7 piece alternative folk band that play densely textured, upbeat, heartfelt and intense folk music, meshing the intricate guitar interplay of Pentangle with the barnstorming raucousness of Arcade Fire. The band have released one stunning EP back in 2010 after winning the right to play at the Green Man Festival. Last year they played a select handful of shows before writing their second EP which looks set to be something quite special. They will be showcasing some of their new songs at the show on the 21st!

Neighbourhood presents the first ever Unplugged Sessions Tour. This is going to be a very special night with all four acts playing completely acoustic!
Two years ago a night of music started in a small upstairs room of the Windmill pub in Mayfair. Wooden floors and heavy old curtains made for the perfect setting of music in its purist form completely un amplified. While businessmen wined and dinned downstairs some of the finest acoustic music was played right above their heads.
This December sees this wonderful night go on tour in the south west.
George and Louise Nindi from the online magazine the 405 were at the show last month and filmed a session with Daniel in the afternoon! We think this video is really great!
What better way to draw this summer to a close than to witness Neighbourhood’s south coast debut with Sweden’s own I’m From Barcelona! The energetic 29 piece (yes that is correct!) released their third album earlier this year titled ‘Forever Today’. Expect confetti, tree houses and general madness! This should ensure a cold and grumpy six months gets off to a good start!

Support comes from Emily and the Woods a 23 year old London based singer songwriter who earlier this year got to the finals of the now famous ‘Glastonbury Emerging Talent Competition’. Buy her latest EP titled ‘Eye to Eye’ which features Ted Dwayne from Mumford & Sons! Check out her video for ‘Steal His Heart’ below which also features Brighton beach…the setting for this show!
