Event information

SEA OF BEES
(on stage 9.30pm)

"Sea of Bees and Caitlin Rose are without doubt the best two new female voices Rough Trade have heard this year" - ROUGH TRADE SHOPS Single Review of 'The Woods'

"There's something of the Scandinavian about Julie Baenziger and her one-woman band... Perhaps it's the ethereal quality to her voice or her penchant for the deep twinkly sound that our European cousins do so well or the fact that her voice on Songs for the Ravens has a distinct twang of a more laidback Nina Persson... While this is Baenziger's debut full-length record it was the recording of her EP 'Bee Eee Pee' which turned her into something of a legend when it was revealed that the five-track was recorded a mere 24 hours after Baenziger was shown how to use recording software, ProTools, by producer John Baccigaluppi. 'Bee Eee Pee' was so beloved because of its low production and high emotion factor and those qualities have only been expanded on for Songs for the Ravens. The record projects itself as a hybrid of tunes all tied together via the lazy warmness of Baenziger's voice. 'Gnomes' kicks it all off with a wail, backed by a surfy drumbeat while 'Skinnybone' drifts al!
ong with lilting vocals alongside the echo of an organ and lyrical musings on wanting to 'hug you day and night'. 'Marmalade' has a much darker and deeper beat as does 'Sidepain' with its talk of whisky-drinking and broken hearts, which is what keeps this record so interesting and moreish as you witness the tracks tumble between dark and light." - FOR FOLKS SAKE

+ JACK CHESHIRE
(on stage 8.45pm)

Intricate layers of kaleidoscopic finger-picking and sweetly-slurred melodies form Jack Cheshire's mind-bending musicbox psychedlia - imagine Syd Barrett and Nick Drake serenading the sunrise in the Cafe Del Mar after spending the night in the studio, recording with Arthur Lee and Beck.

"...hugely beguiling. A talent in urgent need of discovery." - **** THE SUNDAY TELEGRAPH
