Lori Secanska

We last spoke to Oysland a year ago when they released their brilliant debut album Vundervelt, recorded in a Walthamstow shed over just one weekend with LKQ producer Rupert Gillett. Since then the Oyslandics have been touring everywhere taking their infectious sounds to weddings, bar mitzvahs, and taverns across the UK, but their mission has changed. On this show you’ll hear Oysland talk about their intense research into the origins of Klezmer music, why the genre is so important, and about the years lost to the Holocaust, the Nazis, and forced migration. It’s sobering information but adds compelling depth & authenticity to what Oysland play, and why. This is an essential AWIL  session to listen to so tune in online anytime, and rest assured that a new Oysland album is on its way too!! See them at the Oval Tavern Croydon May 6th and at The Step N22 on May 19th!

An exhibition of 24 drawings by artist Alban Low documenting the performances of London violinists. Alban has been sketching the capital’s musicians for ten years, spending his evenings in concert halls and jazz clubs. In 2016 he joined the radio programme A World in London, sketching musicians as they play live in the studio. The drawings you see here are of 8 violinists and the musicians they regularly play with. All the musicians have been featured on A World in London.

The radio programme ‘A World in London’ has been at the heart of the capital’s music scene since 2007. Originally broadcast on the BBC, it is now based at SOAS Radio (University of London) and Resonance FM. Hosted and produced by DJ Ritu, the show has an unrivalled reputation for presenting a rich cultural mix that truly reflects the diverse musical tastes of London and its people. DJ Ritu and Alban Low are producing a series of exhibitions and books that document the ever-changing live music scene in London. London stirs with musicians from all nations, playing in

venues from grand concert halls to vibrant upstairs rooms in pubs. This series aims to capture a moment in those musicians’ lives and tell the story of their favourite venues.

Listen to A World in London HERE.

The book ‘London Violins: Part 1’ (A World in London chapbook, ISBN 9781910578773)

accompanies this exhibition.

Alban Low is involved in many creative projects, including album artwork, live performance, making films and maps, conceptual exhibitions, publishing chapbooks and good old-fashioned drawing. He is artist-in-residence at the School of Nursing, Faculty of Health, Social Care and Education at Kingston University and St George's University of London.

Top notch next-generation klezmer by Oysland on this A World In London!

Click HERE to listen to OYSLAND on A World in London 

David Tappeser

Seven-piece band, Oysland, embody the new generation of Yiddish roots music, serving up an exuberant and soulful cocktail of wedding songs and lamenting lullabies. They swoop through centuries of traditional pieces gleaned from Eastern Europe with panache and fresh takes adding wider scopes from the Balkans, whilst preserving all the esse...ntial & original ingredients.

Chris Ormiston

Two members of Oysland are protégés of The London Klezmer Quartet virtuosos Ilana Cravitz & Susi Evans, hence, Olga Baron and John Macnaughton lead a feisty top line on violin and clarinet that does their klezmatic gurus proud! A third LKQ member – Rupert Gillett - is the accomplished producer responsible for Oysland’s splendid debut EP and his skills are scheduled to record their first album next month, sealing in the talents of other Oyslanders - vocalist Lorien Lori Secanska, percussionists Karen Yarnell & David Tappeser, Iakovos Loukas on guitar, and Chris Ormiston on bass. If you haven’t a clue about klezmer you’ll find some of the answers right here on this AWIL. What’s not to like?

A World in London say a sad farewell & massive thank you to our wonderful producer Anthea Hyrule as her traineeship at CC finishes this week and wish her super joys for the future.

Lakovos Loukas
