Celebrating Sanctuary Bitesize Livestream
Featuring Ilias Lintzos
Saturday April 3rd, 7pm
The next iteration of Celebrating Sanctuary Birmingham's thrilling Bitesize streaming concert series features multi-instrumentalist, drummer and producer, the well known local musician, Ilias Lintzos.
Originally from Greece, Ilias studied music with one of his favorite drummers, Mike Kapilidis, at the Modern Music School in Athens before moving to the UK.
Ilias based himself in Birmingham where he is a very much in demand session drummer, performing with acts as diverse as Rubella Ballet and Winston Reedy and many more too numerous to mention.
(That dude on the left, that's the brilliant bassist Martin, - we know that guy!)
Ilias has released seven solo LPs, and considers his records to be a personal acoustic journey back to his roots, as he blends musicial influences from a round the world. His most recent full length LP, Invisible Colours was nominated for a prestigious Birmingham Music Award in 2020.
From the LP, Invisible Colours
For Celebrating Sanctuary Birmingham's Bitesize show, Ilias is performing on Tzouras and Percussion and is joined by Tim Botfield on Mandolin, Guitar and Irish Bouzouki, and Johannes Norris-Brown on Guitar and Mandolin.

HELP OUTSIDELEFT
Outsideleft exists on a precarious no budget budget. We are interested in hearing from deep and deeper pocket types willing to underwrite our cultural vulture activity. We're not so interested in plastering your product all over our stories, but something more subtle and dignified for all parties concerned. Contact us and let's talk. [HELP OUTSIDELEFT]
WRITE FOR OUTSIDELEFT
If Outsideleft had arms they would always be wide open and welcoming to new writers and new ideas. If you've got something to say, something a small dank corner of the world needs to know about, a poem to publish, a book review, a short story, if you love music or the arts or anything else, write something about it and send it along. Of course we don't have anything as conformist as a budget here. But we'd love to see what you can do. Write for Outsideleft, do. [SUBMISSIONS FORM HERE]
