Panda Su

Panda Su is a one-woman band hailing from the sunny shores of St Andrews, Fife. A bit of a loner and with no one to turn to founding member Suzanne Isabel Ferreira had no choice but to learn how to play every instrument under the sun by herself. This makes her debut 'Sticks and Bricks' EP (produced and mixed by Black Affair/King Biscuit Time/ex-Beta Band extraordinaire Steve Mason) a joy to listen to but almost an impossibility to play live.

However, this was all about to change when one day she came across another loner. He couldn't play any instruments. Nor could he sing. But he liked to wear strange hats while on stage and this intrigued Panda Su - so much so that he was soon made an official full-time member of the Panda Su band - providing backing vocals and playing percussion ( = an egg filled with rice)

Men Diamler

"Men Diamler is a young man with a cult reputation in the South West who will not be tamed by the powers that be, reconfiguring a English/Welsh soul music through woozy operatics and wild and weird song/stories. Sweet and darkness have never sounded so close or so intense in such performer. Despite his tender age he is a channel for old thyme ways - footstompin' blues, two string serenades, backwoods drinking hollers, horse play and pagan folk all get exorcised. Psychosis never sounded this good and people clap" - Qujunktions

"Men Diamler cannot be ignored. He looks a little like electric-era Bob Dylan, and it's just him and his guitar, and sometimes it's just him, a cappella – not even always in front of a microphone – but his voice is so astonishing that traffic literally stops. Yes, I know what I've just said. He makes sure we know we're watching a performance of spiritual-gospel-blues, but it's authentic as it gets. Again, I know what I've just said, but it's true. It's ridiculous, in all honesty, because somebody with much more influence than I have should be writing about him. - FACT MAGAZINE

Animal Magic Tricks

'Animal Magic Tricks' began two years ago when Frances Laura Donnelly fled London, and her own crap art and poetry, to return to the seaside town of Bournemouth, where she finally combined her malformed disciplines in the joy of making noise. Her musical training took place under the strict regime of an elderly audience demanding Vera Lynn and Billie Holiday in the old folk's home in where she worked. She currently lives in Brighton which is lovely, though the coastline is unspeakably better in Dorset.
