Event information

★ A Fine Day For Sailing ★
http://www.afinedayforsailing.com/

Led by Matt (he who had the genius idea for the Read and Shout festival!), A Fine Day For Sailing have emerged anew in London in 2011, prior to this their bubblegum indiepop had been a West Country preserve. Picking up rave reviews from Art Rocker, Fensepost and 247 Magazine. The 2011 version of A Fine Day For Sailing is bigger and brighter. The pop fun remains en tact, but we're treated to more layers via a string section and an expanded new line up!

"The secret of any decent band is to mix the bitter with the bittersweet, and these guys know it" Art Rocker


★ The Proctors ★

Originally formed in 1993 from the ashes of The Cudgels, The Proctors are a wonderful jangle pop band from the Midlands. They originally came to an end in 1997. Following the release (on Cloudberry Records) of an EP of unreleased songs in 2009, The Proctors started work on some new recordings in the Summer of 2010. So The Proctors are back and they are playing live shows this time around. I think this will be their 2nd ever live show and their first in London!

★ Peru ★ [Acoustic Set]

Peru was born sometime in early 1992. Three close friends - Brian Price, Chris Smith and John Coolin - then in their late-teens, sat spinning C86-era records and drinking beer before their nights out dancing at Nottingham's Rock City thinking: 'We should start a band like this.'

Fast forward to 2010 and I saw an acoustic set by Peru at the Big Pink Cake Weekender - this time Brian was backed by a couple of members of The Kick Inside. They were brilliant. So now Peru are a four piece again and they're set to do an acoustic set at Indietracks (on a train). This London show is also a special acoustic performance. Be sure not to miss it.
