As previously announced the incredible Scott Matthews will perform a headline show at the Princess Pavilion in Falmouth on Friday 06 November. We are pleased to announce that support on the night will be Vijay Kishore.

Born and raised in the Handsworth district of Birmingham of Indian parentage singer songwriter Vijay Kishore has quietly been causing something of a stir musically with his ambiguous folk-tinged fusion of his Anglo Asian heritage which has seen favourable comparisons to the likes of the Sufi infused tones of Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan to Thom Yorke, Jeff Buckley or even Nina Simone.

Having quit his factory job to pursue his musical ambitions word quickly spread within sections of the A & R community with many in attendance at subsequent shows.

All agreeing that there was a definite talent there but how do we 'market' him? Kishore doesn't easily fit into any of the prescribed boxes.

Since those early fledgling but still breathtaking shows Vijay has gone on to support the likes of Ray Davies, Nizlopi, Sebastien Tellier, Lou Rhodes, Blackbud and Mr Hudson and The Library .Whilst also sharing billing with the likes of Jamie T, Tiny Dancers, Scott Matthews, Eugene Mcguiness, Fink, Laura Izibor, Newton Faulkner and Karima Francis amongst others, winning over new supporters wherever he goes.

...brilliant, brilliant songs. Like a brummie Jeff Buckley singing the words of Nina Simone. Vijay's luscious acoustic folk is as divine as Simon Cowell in a motorway pile-up’. NME

Kishore will be opening for Scott Matthews an artist who should need no introduction. Debut album ‘Passing Stranger’ won him widespread acclaim in Oct 2006 after the three singles from that album were play listed on Radio 1, Radio 2 and XFM.

In 2007, Scott won the Ivor Novello Award for Best Song Musically and Lyrically, with his debut single ‘Elusive’ and in 2008, he supported Robert Plant and Alison Krauss, on their ‘Raising Sand’ European tour.

Scott’s new single ‘Fractured’ from the album ‘Elsewhere’ (which features guest vocals from Robert Plant!!) was released earlier this year and again received national airplay.

Scott last played in Cornwall at the Rip Curl Boardmasters alongside Paolo Nutini, Guillemots, Ruarri Joseph and Newton Faulkner.

SW1 Productions are delighted that they managed to secure a date on his forthcoming UK tour.

Local support to be announced.
