ED PROSEK:
22 year old San Franciscan songwriter who's cover of Paul Simon's classic hit, 'Homeward Bound' was chosen as the soundtrack to a major tv advert for Cathedral City last year. Following this success Ed has released two EP's. Ed's most recent offering, 'Willow Tree' is a development on the sound Ed and his band created on his debut 'California', honing his self titled 'orchestral folk' into a 5 track ep of astounding diversity and beauty. Fresh from his tour of the US and a performance with the San Francisco Composers Chamber Orchestra, this will be Ed's first performance in the UK for 2014.

JAMESON:
Californian, banjo wielding, singer-songwriter Jameson Burt conjures the very essence of West Coast America with his rock n roll swagger and undeniable voice of both subtle beauty and immense power. Citing influences from Tom Waits to Kate Bush, Joni Mitchell and The Beatles, not to mention the bourbon, cold weather and sleep deprivation, Jameson offers a new take on rock n roll hallmarked with a seal of authenticity circa 1970. His music is refreshingly blended against the back drop of the new-folk and roots led by Mumford and Sons and Fleet Foxes. Jameson's tales of travel and restlessness, love and listlessness, passion, desire and regret are bold and enticing and not to missed.

WHISKEY FOR THE WOUNDED:
"I fear we will not last the winter. We need food and ammunition for our living, lime for our dead. Bring whiskey for the wounded."
Starting life as a writing project for Thame born songwriter and guitarist David Vine, W.F.T.W. has taken on a new lease of life with the addition of guitarist Alistair Thomas Scott. Dark and melancholic, W.F.T.W evoke haunting melodies tinted with a tragic beauty and a powerful sense of observant, articulate songwriting.
