The Wave Pictures are a national treasure. An indie rock band signed to Moshi Moshi Records, who have released at the last count 16 albums since the late 90s. Fiercely independent, they tread their own DIY path and share a witty and insightful lyrical approach with the likes of Herman Dune, Hefner, Jeffrey Lewis and The Mountain Goats. However they are a uniquely British band, incorporating hard rock guitar solos, rhythmical jams and a joyous brotherly energy on stage. We normally find them in venues rather larger than this, so if you're coming, do get a ticket. A good time will be had by all.

Rozi Plain is a unique songwriter with a truly original voice. Poised, elegant and with a simplicity that invites interpretation, she is endlessly inventive and restlessly creative. She has toured the world and collaborated with the likes of Rachael Dadd and This is the Kit.
So far she has released two remarkable albums that possess a fragile magnetism and have been championed by tastemakers and audiences alike. She has played at all the best festivals like End of the Road, Green Man, Mandstock and Great Escape.

Laish is the name given to Daniel Green's songs. Daniel is hosting this evening and will be opening proceedings. He may well be nervous and frazzled as it is the first night and he has booked a band that shouldn't really play venues this small anymore. Expect to hear some new songs from him with that trademark hypnotic guitar style and confessional lyricism. Daniel has shared stages with Grizzly Bear, Beach House, Laura Marling, Jason Lytle of Grandaddy and David Thomas Broughton and performed at End of the Road Festival for the second time this year. So he's not messing about.
