Portico Quartet
'knee deep in the north sea' ÿ the debut album by the Vortex label's first signing.
Vortex
Tour East
6 – 11 March 2008
The Vortex Jazz club has chosen a special East line up consisting of three exceptional artists, tipped to watch in 2008!
Olivia Chaney, Ayanna Witter-Johnson and Nick Mulvey are unique and talented young composer/ performers who are currently making a name for themselves on London songwriter circuit.
Although their music heralds from three distinct influential musical styles - folk, jazz and African, all three share a passion for music and a performance professionalism that is rare in musicians of their age.
Olivia Chaney
Love,
death, mischief and mirth.
A gifted virtuoso, this young folk singer will conjure dark-eyed sailors, damsels in distress and rakish Knights from an Indian harmonium and steel-string guitar.
Expect to be charmed, moved and entertained by a performer and musician
of unusual depth and passion.

Nick Mulvey
Beautiful
music inspired from around the world, with a particularly focus on Africa
and Congolese guitar styles.
Nick Mulvey is a singer, guitarist and is also known for his hang playing (a dome like steel pan instrument, which was invented by two Swiss instrument-designers less than a decade ago) with the inspirational Portico Quartet, who have recently been signed to the new Vortex record label. www.myspace.com/nickmulveymusic
