00:01¡Dingo!
00:34Hue, come on.
00:36Oh, sorry.
00:37Camera's rolling.
00:37Just enjoying the beautiful view of the Dingle Peninsula.
00:40And the sandwich.
00:41And the sandwich.
00:42Welcome to Other Voices.
00:43We've got another incredible show in store for you tonight.
00:46We do.
00:47Some amazing performances in the church.
00:49You're going to see Shame, who caused nearly a riot in the church.
00:52They were amazing.
00:52We also have Doug and we have a beautiful soul singer from Reading called Jessie Blakemore.
00:57But to kick things off, playing music from their incredible third album, this is Dry Cleaning.
01:02You can finish it now.
01:03Thank you.
01:03In peace.
01:04Where's my sandwich?
01:04In peace.
01:11I'm not ashamed.
01:13It happens in the time.
01:15Just out to a charm.
01:17Nice.
01:19Very best.
01:21And never enough.
01:23I mean I've lost a message of peace.
01:28Oh, you always want to be.
01:34You always want to be.
01:37You always dress in me.
01:39Oh, don't press me.
01:41Yeah, you.
01:44Press me.
01:48Don't press me.
01:51Oh,
02:08¡Gracias!
02:48¡Gracias!
02:52¡Gracias!
02:54¡Gracias!
02:56¡Gracias!
02:57I am wildly excited about this next act.
03:01They are truly one of the best live acts on the planet.
03:04They're here in St. James' Church for other voices to play music off their four incredible records,
03:08including their latest masterpiece, Cutthroat.
03:11As the band say themselves, this is not performance art.
03:14These shows are direct, raw and confrontational.
03:17Are you ready, Dingle?
03:18This is Shame.

07:27This is Jessie Blakemore.

10:02oh
10:24¡Gracias!
10:32Thank you so much.
10:41Jessie Bakemore, how do you describe what you make?
10:43I always say it's kind of like alt R&B.
10:46Yeah.
10:46That's kind of maybe indie leaning, kind of folk leaning.
10:49Yeah. I mean you're a gorgeous guitar player.
10:51Oh, thank you.
10:51So when did you first pick up a guitar?
10:53When I was quite young. So my dad has played guitars around me since I was a kid.
10:57I always had that around me.
10:59I got really shy about performing, so I kind of stopped for a couple of years.
11:03And then when I was maybe like 15, 16, I started to think,
11:06oh, actually I really enjoy this, so let me just throw myself into it.
11:09Yeah.
11:09And were you writing songs then as well?
11:10Yeah, I was. I mean, they're probably pretty bad songs.
11:14But yeah, just always writing. I used to love like poetry too.
11:17So just always writing stuff, writing my thoughts down.
11:20And was there a moment when you did perform where you kind of felt like,
11:26okay, this could be something?
11:28Yeah, I mean, it's weird because I think a lot of it has been online.
11:32Yeah.
11:32So kind of performing to my phone, which is kind of weird.
11:35And there were a couple of videos I posted a while back that got a bit of attention.
11:39And I was like, okay, this actually feels good. This could be something.
11:41Maybe we gave it too many chances. Fuck it, what's one more?
11:53And I could give a fuck if your boyfriend's waiting at home.
11:58Oh, I miss the way you made me feel. Come and visit that door. Let the apathy build.
12:22And call me from your blood, yeah. Call me from your blood, blood, yeah.
12:43He won't fear for me. Tell me that you love me like a brother, but I'm sensitive more. Sensitive, yeah,
12:57yeah.
12:57I want to give you the world, but you've already got your own. Got your own. And though it's both
13:08of us involved, leave it to me. I'll handle damaged control.
13:26Call me from your partner, partner. Call me from your partner, partner. Call me from your partner, he won't know.
13:38Call me from your partner, partner. Call me from your partner, partner. Call me from your partner.

13:56Couple lies, couple texts, couple pennies spending
13:59All the things I said, you know, I never meant
14:01It's filled a heap when our conversation's done
14:04Talking about you in my sleep, you know that I could say it's wrong
14:07A lie, well maybe I could say it's true

44:16Tom and Lewis, have you spotted any wild animals this morning so far?
44:20Just seen a hybrid of a duck and a seal.
44:22I reckon two ducks, actually.
44:23We don't have much wildlife where we live.
44:24Where do you live?
44:25Because you formed in South London.
44:27Are you actually from there as well?
44:28Yeah.
44:29I grew up around there.
44:30You grew up around the corner.
44:31That is a seal, seriously.
44:32You reckon?
44:33No, it's not really.
44:34Take us back to the origins then of dry cleaning.
44:38Were you all friends?
44:40I imagine you all grew up in nursery together.
44:42You're all mates since birth.
44:43That's when the band started, wasn't it?
44:44Like Rugrats.
44:47So I met Flo at Art College.
44:50And she introduced me to my partner.
44:53Who was friends with Lewis and Nick.
44:56And so we just started hanging out as a social group, really.
44:59Probably for about three or four years before we even talked about doing a band.
45:03I feel like there was a moment where we were all in lots of different projects.
45:06And there was a moment where we were all freed up.
45:09We had three times.
45:09Yeah, they were all sort of ending naturally.
45:10At the same time.
45:11So it was like, let's just have a jam, the three of us.
45:13So we used to go for Sundays over at his mum's, in his mum's garage.
45:17And she'd cook us a Sunday dinner.
45:18We did like ten minutes of playing and about four hours of eating.
45:21Yeah.
45:22And then eventually your mum started going, are you going to do any work today?
45:25Yeah.
45:26So that's when we took it seriously.
45:28Yeah.
45:29Florence's lyrics are sometimes hilarious, sometimes deeply, deeply intriguing.
45:35When do you hear Florence's lyrics for the first time in the band?
45:40It varies a lot.
45:41So it depends on kind of the room we're rehearsing in.
45:43A lot of times we're in a room where we can't really hear much, right?
45:46It's like a really small room.
45:48So Flo might just have some in-ears in and be hearing herself.
45:51And then now again we're projected to the room.
45:53But you can only hear like rhythms and kind of like slight melodies and kind of, and you play against
45:57that.
45:58So a lot of times it's not to the studio.
45:59But it kind of varies record by record and song by song.
46:02Sometimes you get it really early.
46:03Sometimes you don't get it until you've recorded it.
46:06Yeah.
46:07And when it comes to playing live then, I'm guessing there's no room for like lyrical improvisation from Florence, is
46:15there?
46:15It depends. When we sort of do like a headline tour, it does open up a bit more because you
46:21sort of get a chance to sort of know where you're at with songs.
46:25Songs naturally sort of stretch.
46:27Because when you record a song, it's still quite early in the song's life.
46:30Yeah.
46:31So you get, when you play it live, it comes back to life again.
46:34It has a whole other life as a live song, not a recorded one.
46:37So there is room for improvisation.
46:39Yeah.
47:06I desire very much a place in society.
47:11So designing cruise ships is my custom, and my living, and my challenge.
47:18Designing cruises is for me a village, a lesson you need to do it all by.
47:27Keep in tension with the amount of the time.
47:29The cruise ships is under.
47:32They're strained up while the island is home.
47:34Stuckin' on the island is home.
47:36Stuckin' on the island.
47:36Making the most of the bad situation it's...
47:40A mountain boat, for a mountain man.
47:44An energy's iron hippos that cross control at sea.
48:03¡Gracias!
48:29¡Gracias!
48:54¡Gracias!
49:19¡Gracias!
