Cambridge Town Hall presents: An Evening with Blair Jollands
Event description
The Cambridge Town Hall is honoured to have a night with Blair Jollands on the back of his El Hula Hide No More NZ Tour. The evening will be made up of live music and a presentation/Q&A about Blair's Sound Design career. Anyone who is interested in this field should not miss this great opportunity to hear Blair's journey.
Blair Jollands is an Emmy & Bafta nominated sound designer and singer songwriter. He will be touring Europe & NZ this March/April promoting his latest EP Hide No More (El Hula) and his LP Holograms. Having won the admiration of David Bowie & Boy George (who released Blair’s previous material under the name El Hula on his More Protein label), Jollands’ music communicates a paradoxical mix of melancholia and optimism that is hard to resist. Holograms is an album big on melody & mystery with a hint of Morricone. Often compared vocally to Lana Del Rey, Nick Cave, Rufus Wainright & Scott Walker, Jollands has received much praise from the likes of NME and Guardian.
Known for his soundtracks & sound design on the Emmy & Golden Globe nominated Shackleton, Netflix’s series Bodies plus his Bafta nominated Sky Atlantic series Fortitude staring Michael Gambon. The artist Blair Jollands releases critically acclaimed album Holograms via MARS Worldwide Label Group. Originally from Grey Lynn Auckland, Jollands is currently based in London.
