King of Woolworths

Work:: King of Woolworths (S01890600469)

'mixes Sixties Northern Soul passion with the atmosphere of a grainy kitchen sink drama' Careless Talk Costs Lives Manchester's Jon Brooks, the self-styled King of Woolworths, makes personal soundtracks full of warmth and wonder, a sound utilised on his remixes of Ladytron and St Etienne. His second album, Illustration Musicale, was inspired by the analogue gems created the likes of Delia Derbyshire, Eddie Warner, De Wolf et al. Recreating his music live for the first time, backed by members of Badly Drawn Boy's band, with guest vocalists to be announced, Brooks joins the ICA's successful independent label night for an evening of musical magic.
