Dawanggang | 5th – 7th Aug
“Brings together the past and present, in the form of Asian folklore, sound art, Chinese Opera and rock”, BBC Radio 3
Housekind | 10th & 12th Aug
Beautiful, Trad-inspired folk with indie undertones, and poetically-told stories
Duke Duncan & The Hurricanes | 11th Aug
A hedonistic psychedelic melange, like Alice out-hatting the Mad Hatter with Kerouac at The Hacienda.
PINLIGHT | 13th Aug
Thoughtful electro alt-pop with neon laced synths, interwoven orchestral instruments and themes of self-affirmation and love.
Brave Little Note | 14th Aug
Alter ego of song-writer and composer Jacqueline Irvine, Brave Little Note was born of an inherent need for musical expression, and this is reflected in the honesty of her writing.
Jellymans Daughter | 17th – 18th Aug
“Somewhere between the realms of folk, bluegrass, pop, rock and chamber music […] a deeply soulful, break-neck amalgam of old-time and new age roots influences”, Popmatters
Culture Clan | 19th Aug

S!nk | 20th – 21st Aug
S!nk compose music on the spot, realising rough-hewn instrumental explorations which open out into rich landscapes of sound. ‘Mysterious and beautiful’, The Wire
