“White Witches (10.30pm upstairs) WHITE WITCHES (featuring ex-members of Sheffield artrockers PINK GREASE) play alien rock and sci-fi ballads inspired by love, loss, and addiction. Foppish Celts with glitter in their veins, they make dirty glam with a dystopian heart and a Cornish spirit.”

“London based songsmith and former Sunday Times ‘Breaking Act’ Sam Brookes is still one of the UK alt-folk’s best kept secrets. His acclaimed 2014 album Kairos was tipped by The Independent for a Mercury Prize nomination, received support from the likes of Dermot O’Leary on BBC Radio 2. With over 5 million plays on Spotify, it is fair to say that those who know his music, love his music….and those who don’t, are about to.”

“A double nomination in the 2015 BBC Folk Awards – for best singer and best new song – was a timely reminder of Jez Lowe’s standing in the UK folk and acoustic music scene. Not only he is one of the busiest live performers in the country, but his songs are among the most widely sung by other performers, such as Fairport Convention, The Dubliners The Unthanks, and The Young Uns”
