\"ManoM\"<\/a><\/p>\n

We welcome back the uber talented Mano McLaughlin playing tracks from his second sold album Then Lightning. His songs are timeless and weave bitter-sweet pop and folk melodies with lush harmonies. Using intimate home recordings as a foundation, Mano is joined by drummer and producer Tim Thomas and bass player Gary Hadfield to add lush harmonies alongside banjo, clarinet, harmonica, omnichord and mellotron.<\/p>\n

This is music full of warmth, wit, and humanity, produced with unassuming subtlety and charm.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

\"ToriaWooff\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Toria Wooff stands in the crossfires of gothic literature and pained americana. Telling tales of love and malevolence, her delicate spider-finger guitar and haunting vocals shine amongst a storytelling far beyond her years. ‘Brilliantly crafted, unique, vintage folk ballads.’<\/p>\n

\"StephenEllis\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Stephen pens tunes filled with melody and melancholy… a dash of humour, a hit of self-derision, but mostly, heart. His lyrics muse on life lessons, love lost and middle aged angst. In a world awash with male-singer-songwriter-piano-players, he doesn’t lay claim to uniqueness (think Gary Barlow meets Elton John in a dark space and a bad mood). But the voice is dirt wrapped in velvet, and the songs, well, we defy you not to be humming them at the bar later.<\/p>\n

\"ThickRichard\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Thick Richard has been pedalling his potty-mouthed poems at festivals and clubs up and down the land for the last 16 years. His cynical, lyrical, jet-black humour, intelligent wordplay, well-crafted verse, and occasionally acerbic, well-targeted comic attacks have earned him much respect from artists and audiences from Edinburgh to Glastonbury. We love him!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
