Brethren of the Free Spirit will play Sunday 20 September in the Pauluskerk.

Old things can be cool. Seriously! That is, when some cool dude does cool stuff with it, of course. Like Jozef van Wissem (as seen at ZXZW 2007). He plays the lute in Brethren Of The Free Spirit. Together with guitarist James Blackshaw, he puts forth experimental folk with an ethereal, almost religious feel. And yes. That IS cool.

James Blackshaw will play Sunday 20 September in the Pauluskerk.

James Blackshaw is a London-based guitarist and pianist, born in 1981. Blackshaw primarily plays an acoustic 12 string guitar and has been compared to Bert Jansch, Robbie Basho, John Fahey, Jack Rose, and Leo Kottke.

Jozef van Wissem (born Maastricht, 1962) is a Dutch minimalist composer and lute player. Much of the work of Jozef van Wissem is based on the application of mirror images to lute composition. The work is idiomatic to lute tablature of around AD 1600. One critic has compared his work to that of German painter Georg Baselitz, who paints upside down.
