Laurence Crane’s music stands out for its unique ability to sound simultaneously familiar and fresh. He reimagines basic musical elements like common chords, arpeggios, drones, and cadences, and places them within inventive frameworks. The result is a sound world that feels both comforting and novel, where traditional rhetoric finds new expression in contemporary spaces and the innateness of each element is put on centre display.

Thursday Lunchtimes: Laurence Crane In Focus

RNCM (Royal Northern College of Music)

A Newark, New Jersey native, Madeline first arrived in Europe in 1962 with the Alex Bradford Singers and has stayed ever since. The show will take in her gospel beginnings and time as a much sought-after session singer for the likes of Dusty Springfield, Joe Cocker and The Rolling Stones, as well as her solo career, dating back to albums such as Bell’s a Poppin’, Doin’ Things and This Is One Girl.
