Popis - ELYSIAN FIELDS:
Jim Laslett born in 1975,Whitstable, Kent, left school unqualified at the age of 15 and has had numerous occupations trying his hand at everything from farming and engineering to stunt man he even had a brief career in the film industry. He began by playing at parties and open stages whenever possible and later developed his career through his own efforts. Jim first picked up a guitar at the age of 22. Since then he has been writing, producing and performing his own music at various locations throughout Europe and America. His music has been described as folk / rock, however, he has an original laid back style. His reflective melodies support the narrative of the song, which have strong characteristics and give a full range of emotions. Jim is a self-taught musician with an obvious gift for song writing. Owning a music shop in Canterbury for a number of years aided his knowledge of instruments and the technical side of the business. This also helped him gain contacts and support in his local area. Knowing that music was his vocation in life he sold the business so he could concentrate on his own music and began to write his debut album, Elysian Fields. In 2002 he cut his teeth on the London circuit playing as many venues as possible. In April 2003 organised a concert at the Gulbenkian Theatre, Canterbury, headlining himself and supported by two local musicians. This was a great success and really helped to lift his profile. This was followed by a tour in Dublin playing at various venues such as Doyles (The Ruby sessions), The Sugar Club, Martyn B Slattery. He also performed at tower records helping the sales of his CD. In December 2003 Jim was invited to Chamonix, France to perform live on a regular basis, building his following even more. He has appeared on various radio shows including BBC WM with Jenny Wilks and BBC Kent with Simon Evans. Also on the E4 television channel, giving him national exposure. Signed to Chaucer Records Ltd, Jim is playing frequently and has a substantial following with strong support whenever he performs. Jim has finished his latest album (loving should Be easy) which now has distribution through HMV and Virgin stores.
