Monday 6th July
Electroacoustic Club @ The Slaughtered Lamb

A NIGHT AT SEA (UK)
~ PAUL HANDYSIDE  (UK)
~ GHOSTS OF LEITH  (UK)

Time Out says : "Brit School-affiliated headliners combine accordion with electronics and vocal harmonies in their klezmer-folk tunes. Shimmering take on Americana in support."

Support from former Hurrah and Bronze frontman, Paul Handyside : "...a rootsy acoustic troubadour with a masterful grasp of his craft...an easy listen with cuts like Forever Ending and Let The Lights Go Down achieving rare tenderness and a genuine emotional impact" [MOJO]

"...Handyside's solo debut has just enough low-down twang and skipping drumbeats to qualify as Americana, but it's as a singer-songwriter that he excels. His shimmering hymns offer care-worn sensitivity and reflections that are sentimental but not mawkish. And the title track's huge chorus is an absolute joy" [Q MAGAZINE]

Ghosts Of Leith: "Gorgeous Celtic-inflected acoustic folk outfit" [TIME OUT]... "... an outfit whose youth belies the maturity of their sound. Tight melodies and jazzy flourishes make their sun-kissed sound one to listen out for." [THE HERALD, SCOTLAND]

COLLEGE FALL (AUSTRALIA)
~ JACK CHESHIRE (UK)
~ 4 OR 5 MAGICIANS (UK)

Time Out says : "Acoustic indie popsters from Perth headline, supported by Brighton's 4O5M with their endearingly rambling, lo-fi indie, which nods at Pavement, Hefner and Guided By Voices."   more info

The Luminaire

STORNOWAY (UK)
~ MAGIC ARM  (UK)
~ SHONA FOSTER  (UK)

"... already being hailed as the uk's answer to the hugely talented fleet foxes... Stornoway are endowed with a natural ability to write that very earthy, rooted folk; mined deep from the land it was conceived in... what sets them apart and gives them their further mysterious magnetism is singer and songwriter Brian Briggs' exceptional ear for that very distinctive of sounds - the British pop melody." [ROUGH TRADE]

"Stornoway's sound is like shifting sand: a mixture of acoustic pastorals, pop balladry and folkedelia... Briggs's vocal is equal parts Nick Drake and Nico... " [THE INDEPENDENT]

"... the most marvellous thing we've seen in ages... they immediately became Our New Favourite Band." [THE GUARDIAN]

Hailed by Iron & Wine's Samuel Beam as 'the master of the loop pedal', multi instrumentalist Marc Rigelsford is Manchester-based Magic Arm:

"Now and then, a record comes along which you can't ignore... like waves of lysergic happiness lapping against your cerebral cortex." [GUARDIAN GUIDE]

"... sleazy bleep-funk... like the best MIA backing track you’ve never heard...” [NME]

"There is a fearlessly ambitious imagination at work... psych-folk, Casio-pop, lo-fi electronica... It is, in short, a work of understated magnificence." [DROWNED IN SOUND]

"Incredible music" [ED DROSTE, GRIZZLY BEAR]

Shona Foster : "... delicately unnerving music. Like Portishead ditching the drum machines or Kate Bush holidaying in the Balkans, there is more than a flutter of gothic romance: the architectural tangents taken by piano, violins, oboe and of course Shona's despairing vocal, are enough to silence the noisiest of rooms."
