Event information

Trembling Bells play Lancaster the day after the Greenman Festival on a national tour to promote their album 'Carbeth'.

"Trembling Bells are my kind of band."
Joe Boyd (Legendary producer of Nick Drake, Fairport Convention, John Martyn, Incredible String Band, early Pink Floyd etc)

An “incredible collection of songs, which combine early music, psychedelic noise, anthemic rock and traditional British melodies to carry tales of heartbreak and yearning...the myriad musical ideas are nailed down by classic, disciplined songwriting.”
(**** Mojo Magazine)

“one of the best new British bands of any genre that I’ve come across in a while”
Uncut Magazine

TREMBLING BELLS are made up of Alex Nielson (who's collaborated with Bonnie 'Prince' Billy, Alasdair Roberts, Baby Dee, Josephine Foster, Jandek, David Keenan and many more), Lavinia Blackwall (recently collaborating with James Blackshaw, and a member of the Pendulums, Directing Hand, Black Flowers), guitarist Ben Reynolds (a solo performer whose album is out on Tompkins Square Records) and bassist Simon Shaw (whose Lucky Luke band are one of Scotland's most respected modern folk-rock bands.

Supports:
The Moll Baxter Band - Moll is a singer-songwriter-poet-short story specialiser and general all rounder and good egg! She's aided by some excellent musicians, including Rob Daniels on drums (currently drumming for Electric Free Time Machine,TEOHL and ex-theWisemen) Simon Fletcher (also EFTM on bass) and Harvey Lord on 2nd guitar. Expect great lyrics and a throbbing rhythm section!

Paddy Garrigan - in the original line-up of the Puma-Sutras (with Dan Haywood and Ben McCabe), the frontman of the much-missed Pier Group, multi-instrumentalist in the Wisemen, and currently guitarist in folk festival favourites the Weirdstring Band. And a solo performer of some magnitude! Last seen in Lancaster supporting Curtis Eller at LAWM.

Cameron Crook - Cam goes under a couple of different names including We Don't Know Who You Are Anymore and There's Nothing Funny About Paradoxes in which he sites Tunng, Mogwai, cLOUDDEAD, Four Tet, Daft Punk, DJ Shadow as influences. He says "I can't settle on a style for my musics so it all tends to flit between folk-ish instrumentals, post-rock and electronic". Sounds good to me.

Goldmundo - Psyche-folk stuff. Most often seen playing guitar for Dan Haywood's New Hawks and Starless & Bible Black, bass playing for Joyeux and the Little Hero Band, formerly frontman of the Wisemen, longest serving/suffering bass player for the Puma-Sutras, former bass player for the Gokarnas etc.
