Intimate acoustic show with acclaimed Americana singer/songwriter Robert Vincent

 


🎸🎤 Robert Vincent 🎤🎸

"The plan is to stir something up and tell the truth of where I am in the world..."

Robert Vincent will release his much-anticipated fourth studio album through Thirty Tigers in 2024 and its music is riding the winds of change in the air. "The songs are less traditional sounding," he reveals. "I'm learning how to lower my barriers and have made a more personal album than ever before."

It was Vincent’s powerful and soulful voice that attracted acolytes such as Bob Harris, Paul Carrack and Mary Chapin Carpenter. In 2016, Harris awarded Robert with his ‘Emerging Artist’ of the year award at the inaugural UK Americana Awards show describing Vincent as “absolutely magnetic” and “the real deal”. 

Maintaining his status as one of the most acclaimed voices in the UK Americana scene, Robert’s new songs represent a left turn for an artist who is ready for something more.

Ikon is pleased to announce the leadership team taking the gallery forward in its 60th year. The Board of Trustees have made permanent appointments for Ian Hyde, Chief Executive Officer; Melanie Pocock, Artistic Director (Exhibitions); and Linzi Stauvers, Artistic Director (Education). "To be appointed as Ikon’s leadership team during the gallery’s 60th anniversary is very special. Through this new collaborative structure, covering commercial enterprise, exhibition curation and education practice, we are excited to oversee the future development of Ikon in showcasing the visual arts regionally and internationally. From our gallery in Birmingham, a city built on enlightenment principles, we will forge new cultural, industrial and communal partnerships." Ian Hyde, Melanie Pocock and Linzi Stauvers.

Ian Hyde, Chief Executive Officer, has an overview of the whole organisation, having joined Ikon in 2016 as Deputy Director and later becoming Chief Operating Officer. Hyde has a particular focus on Ikon’s business operations, with financial knowledge across all areas, managing engagement with key funders and stakeholders while leading the team to explore new revenue streams and strategic relationships. He is also Company Secretary and facilitates the charity’s Board of Trustees. Prior to his roles at Ikon, Hyde was an elected councillor for Manchester City Council and worked freelance across multiple organisations for over a decade - including SHOUT Festival for Queer Arts and Culture, Boardmasters, NASS Festival, SKY, Olympic Games London 2012, Manchester International Festival and Manchester Pride - running their forward planning, liaison and event control functional areas. Melanie Pocock, Artistic Director (Exhibitions) leads on Ikon’s exhibition programme, publications, and, with the wider team, off-site projects. 

Melanie Pocock joined Ikon in 2020 and has curated exhibitions including a major presentation of performance art by Indonesian artist Melati Suryodarmo (2023); Horror in the Modernist Block, an exhibition of work by 20 UK and international contemporary artists exploring the relationship between architectural modernism and horror (2022-23); and off-site projects including artist Hew Locke’s city-centre installation Foreign Exchange, presented by Birmingham 2022 Festival. Pocock moved to Ikon from her previous position as Assistant Curator at the Institute of Contemporary Arts Singapore (ICA), prior to which she held curatorial positions at Modern Art Oxford and Art Scene China. She holds an MA (Distinction) in Curating Contemporary Art from the Royal College of Art, London. A member of the International Association of Art Critics (Singapore), Curatorial Committee of the Association for Art History (UK), and a contributing editor at ArtAsiaPacific, her writing has been published in numerous publications, exhibition catalogues and journals. 

Linzi Stauvers, Artistic Director (Education) leads on Ikon’s education programmes with university, school, charity and criminal justice partners. Working with teaching staff at Wolverhampton School of Art, she co-produced Ikon’s current exhibition Start the Press! (2024), which brings printmaking to life around an antique printing press in the gallery. She also co-curated the exhibition Imposter Syndrome (2023), the culmination of Dean’s Kelland’s four-year artist residency at HMP Grendon, with community members at the Category B prison. Having joined Ikon in 2017, she leads on long-term projects including Art at HMP Grendon, funded by the MarieLouise von Motesiczky Charitable Trust, and Ikon Youth Programme on Slow Boat, funded by Freelands Foundation. With a PhD in History of Art from University College London, Stauvers has worked in education departments at the National Portrait Gallery, Milton Keynes Gallery and The Hepworth Wakefield. From 2011-16, she was Producer at Pavilion, Leeds, commissioning moving image work with artists in response to heritage sites, including an abandoned cinema, tv studio and eighteenth-century landscape. 

"On behalf of Ikon's Board of Trustees, I would like to express how w delighted we are to appoint the gallery's new leadership team. We have been on a thorough and considered journey to reach this point, taking time to consult with sector colleagues, supporters and artists and working with a specialist recruitment agency to reach the best possible outcome. Ian Hyde, Melanie Pocock and Linzi Stauvers bring a wealth of knowledge and experience, both local and international, and the new style of leadership we were looking for. We are excited to work with them and the gallery's wider team to provide a welcoming and inclusive space for new and challenging experiences of art, to remain a key component in the region's cultural landscape and to realise this new phase in Ikon's history." Professor Helen Higson OBE DL, Chair of Ikon Board of Trustees. Professor of Higher Education Learning and Management, Aston University. 

“Congratulations to Ikon on the appointment of their new leadership team. We’re excited to see how the next chapter unfolds as they enter their 60th anniversary year and next decade. Ikon has a strong reputation for presenting work that encourages participation and debate on key social issues. Ian Hyde, Melanie Pocock and Linzi Stauvers bring significant individual experience to the organisation which will prove invaluable as they move into this important next phase of Ikon’s story and continue to showcase work of local, national, and international significance.” Darren Henley CBE, Chief Executive, Arts Council England 

“As Cabinet Member for Digital, Culture, Heritage & Tourism it is a great pleasure to learn that Ian Hyde has been appointed as Chief Executive Officer, alongside Melanie Pocock as Artistic Director (Exhibitions) and Linzi Stauvers as Artistic Director (Education). Birmingham City Council fully appreciates the contribution that Ikon Gallery has made to the city’s cultural identity over the last 60 years and we wish the management team and Trustees all success going forward.” Councillor Saima Suleman, Cabinet Member for Digital, Culture, Heritage & Tourism, Birmingham City Council  

Ryland Caravan 2024 at MAC, Birmingham


Ryland Caravan 2024

Sat 8 Jun | From 3pm


The one day festival returns to kickstart summer, with indie legends Cud at the top of the bill.


Hosted by Brum’s finest mashers of country and rock, Independent Country, expect a jam-packed line-up with more artists to be announced soon.  

Available this Friday - new download digital track from Gary O'Dea

 

Coming soon: Download Gary O'Dea's latest digital track on GOJO’ MUSIC

Gary, a song-writer who resides in The West Midlands, UK, is respected as a live performer in the bars and clubs of Birmingham and the Black Country. His music is acoustically driven…blending together elements of blues, country, funk, soul and reggae with the passion / attitude of old school punk / rock n’ roll to produce a rocking mix of rhythms to soothe your soul in these troubled times.

A lot of O'Dea's poetry and songs convey his strong sense of social justice and the heritage and struggles of working class people. His most recent recording, Down On The Elbows of Existence was released in November 2023 and his latest track will be released this Friday. 
Gary told Spaghetti Gazette "I have a new download single released on Friday via my Bandcamp page. Its the second in a series of recordings I'm doing based on and reflecting the legacy of the 'field recordings' that Alan Lomax and his father did across the 30s and 40s capturing the essence of the blues/folk songwriters. It's literally one mic, guitar and amp...and the live performance."
Down On The Elbows of Existence was inspired by a quote from the Scottish poet Robbie Burns:
"This was inspired by a visit to Edinburgh for a gig at The Wee Folk Club back in 2017 and I picked up a biography on Robbie Burns. It's a quote that Burns used to describe the poverty he saw the people suffering. I thought I'd borrow it..."

lyrics

Down On The Elbows of Existence

Down on the elbows of existence, silly me, oh yeah, silly me,
Looking for the answers in the distance, silly me, oh yeah, silly me,
‘Look Outs’ the cry and you know the reason why, you’ve been staring in the distance at the screen,
Your minds playing tricks and you’re taking all the hits won’t you roll with the punch and drop to your knees…
On the elbows of existence oh yeah, silly me, oh yeah, silly me, oh yeah, silly me oh yeah...

Down on the elbows of existence, well I can see oh yeah, I can see…
There are cracks in the wall they all need fixing, I can see, oh yeah, I can see,
Well, the kids are jumping through when they’re on their way to school, and the landlord he ain’t nowhere to be seen,
Get the kettle on the boil, wipe that frown off with a smile, won’t you get up off the elbows of existence…
Down on the elbows of existence, oh yeah, silly me oh yeah, silly me oh yeah, silly me oh yeah…

Down on the elbows of existence, Oscars here we are looking up at the stars,
And Robbie’s travelled far to be here with us, those seas between us, they have roared from days long ago, oh my long ago, oh my long ago, oh my long ago…

Down on the elbows of existence, oh you will find, oh yeah you will find…
There are better things ahead in the distance, you’ve gotta’ leave the past behind, yeah leave it well behind,
Don’t get down in a mess, the scope of thrift is limitless, it’s the rich that build up garbage in excess,
Darn your jeans, darn your luck and darn the rest to hell and back, won’t you get up off the elbows of existence…
Down on the elbows of existence, oh yeah, silly me oh yeah, silly me oh yeah, silly me oh yeah…

Down on the elbows of existence, Oscars here we are looking up at the stars,
And Robbie’s travelled far to be here with us, those seas between us, they have roared from days long ago, oh my long ago, oh my long ago, oh my long ago…

Down on the elbows of existence, look in the distance…and you’ll find…a helping hand from me oh yeah.
