Featuring Tom Hendy, jazz piano
Isle Of Wight lone wolf Angelina has found her own voice on her second album Last Cigarette. There’s still a thread to her country-blues-folk heroes (Bessie Smith, Ma Rainey, Blind Willie Johnson, Charley Patton) and her Vagabond Saint debut, but with a new confidence she ramped up her own band of outlaws (including Little Barrie on guitar) in smokey late-night recording sessions in a golden era studio on the edge of Queen Victoria’s IoW estate. A much tougher proposition – this one fizzes with anger and ferocity – her voodoo blues whipping up a hurricane in a Dustbowl of soul.
Appley Manor Hotel, Ryde was built in 1850 as a magnificent Victorian residence. The architecture copied that of Osborne House (Queen Victoria's residence at Cowes) with an observation tower overlooking the Solent, as was fashionable in Victorian times on the Isle of Wight. Today, Appley Manor Hotel has been extensively refurbished to include all modern comforts and offers you some of the most comfortable accommodation in the Ryde area.
