Actor’s band to perform at the Half Moon in London
Welsh actor Oliver Hoare, who is currently starring in his first major
production, Anthony & Cleopatra, alongside Sex and the City star Kim
Cattrall, will be performing at the Half Moon in Putney with his band
Freddie and the Hoares. The performance will be part of Oxfam’s month-long
music festival Oxjam and will take place on the 25th of October.
Freddie and the Hoares have been playing around London since 2011 and by the
end of October they will release their first EP Robin on a Pig’s Back, which
will be available from Rough Trade or as a digital download.
“Freddie and the Hoares jumped at the opportunity to headline the Oxjam
event when it was offered. They understand that social justice and living
with dignity is only possible if individuals band together,” their manager
Peter Manousakos said. “Music is the ultimate social glue and we are
thrilled and committed to giving everyone a night to remember.”
The band will be joined by rising alternative folk group The Ali Warren Band
who, after hitting a string of summer festivals – including Larmer Tree,
Nova and United Islands – and playing a host of London shows, have finally
decided to put out a single. ‘What We Say’ will be the first single released
by seasoned promoters Stroke Your Beard and is set to take the UK by storm.
The band's sound is best explained in Ali Warren's own words: “Like
listening to a reflective Radiohead after an autumn in a cabin listening to
early Floyd cassettes, as Jeff Buckley drops by for tea.”
Both bands join hundreds of other musicians across the UK during October to
raise money for Oxfam. Since the first Oxjam started in 2006, more than 40
000 musicians have played to over 800 000 people at around 3 000 Oxjam
events nationwide and raised more than £1.5 million in total.
The famous Half Moon in Putney is one of London's longest running, and most
respected live music venues. Since the early sixties some of the biggest
names in the music world have performed here, including The Rolling Stones,
The Who and U2, to name a few.
