More Information

Jarvis Cocker

Jarvis Cocker

Jarvis Cocker was at the heart of the 90s Britpop scene as frontman of Pulp, who released four albums during the decade, most notably 'His 'n' Hers' and 'Different Classes'. One of the 'common people', Jarvis' wry observations on sex, drugs and love and the famous stage invasion during Michael Jackson's performance at the 1996 Brit Awards has safely assured his place in pop's hall of fame. Beyond Pulp, he has directed music videos for Aphex Twin and Nightmares On Wax, and performed under the name Darren Spooner. After several collaborative efforts with other artists, 2006 saw him returning as a solo performer, as well as recording much new material.

Blue Roses

Laura Groves a.k.a Blue Roses is a Yorkshire singer-songwriter influenced by the likes of Kate Bush and Joanna Newsom. Playing melodic folk that's impeccably arranged, and with the ambience of a soaring vocal and desolate alt-rock guitar.

Broken Records

Broken Records are a seven piece band based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Formed in early 2006 as an antidote to work, they have gigged continuously since then, seeing several members come and go from the fold. It is in this vein that Broken Records started, as a loose amalgam of musicians who would play under one banner when not doing their own work.

Emmy The Great

Emmy The Great

Emmy the Great writes songs for her friends. Her friends are all double crossing liars, and some of them are dead. Emmy seems to have come out of nowhere, sharing an aesthetic backdrop with Cat Power and Regina Spektor. A point of note for any audience would be the directness and frankness with which she approaches lyricism, a keen contender on the British anti-folk scene.

Pictish Trail

Pictish Trail

Experimental folk-pop from one-man band Pictish Trail, aka Johnny Lynch. Fusing home-made electronica with DIY instrumentation, Pictish Trail's music is simple, sweet and instantly seductive. '… this is the sound of Scotland quietly floating far, far out to some deep enchanting waters. And never dreaming of floating back.' - Domino

Noah & The Whale

Noah & The Whale

Energetic popsters from London whose proficient songs and live sets employ beautiful harmonies and elements of folk and bluegrass to good effect. Their hit song '5 Years' Time' is sufficient to reel in any potential fan, as their packed-out gigs would suggest.

The Aliens

The Aliens

Psychedelic rock and alternative electronica from former members of The Beta Band and Lone Pigeon. With influences ranging from Sergio Leone, Brian Eno and The Beach Boys’ Brian Wilson, The Aliens claim to be set apart from other, more ordinary bands, by making music which references the past but looks decidedly towards the future. With evident touches of The Beta Band, and hints of the Super Furry Animals and rock’n’roll legend Buddy Holly, The Aliens make truly eclectic and innovative music.

Trembling Bells

The song-based group of Alex Neilson (drummer to Baby Dee, Tight Meat, Bonnie Prince Billy, Josephine Foster and more.) Like a faintly unhinged take on Fairport Convention or Fotheringay with soaring uplifting Sandy Denny style vocals that occasionally give way to deranged passages of feedback and clattering percussion.
