About Gideon... "Pithy, powerful, lyrically erudite and observational, post-financial crisis English blues.” Mike Barnes – Writer for Mojo and Wire, and author of the acclaimed, Captain Beefheart: The Biography.

About Sukie...Sukie Smith, better known as Madam, has a rare ability to combine the smoky, nocturnal atmospherics conjured by PJ Harvey or Portishead or the Velvet Underground with a pop sensibility that’s seen her compared to Goldfrapp. The amalgam is showcased on debut album In Case Of Emergency, a work of fragile beauty whose widescreen, slightly eerie quality has drawn comparisons to David Lynch – significantly or not, Smith herself apparently once worked as an actor. Either way, it sets her head and shoulders above the singer-songwriter masses, as individual a voice as Cat Power or her own label mate, Joan As Policewoman. And neither of their records boasts a windscreen wiper solo. One To Watch .The Independent.

Dan Davies from Wolfe Power brings his beautiful wistful songs to Servant Jazz Quarters for the first time , expect clever ,soulful ,songs of love and other stories
