Event information

SWANSEA SOUND
Indie supergroup Swansea Sound hail from Kent/Swansea, . Reuniting Hue Williams and Amelia Fletcher, the original singers of cult 1990s UK indie band The Pooh Sticks, Swansea Sound have become a popular fixture on the UK indie scene. They have released two acclaimed albums, are frequently played on the BBC and have recorded a live BBC6Music session. Described as ‘an indiepop miracle’ by All Music, SWANSEA SOUND combine a witty, sardonic, very contemporary lyrical attack with timeless guitar-pop songwriting. Latest single ‘Markin’ It Down’, which features Amelia as an unimpressed record shop worker and Hue as an ever-optimistic customer, was released in April to mark International Record Store Day. The live experience is unmissable, with Hue and Amelia playing off each other, sometimes duetting, sometimes harmonising, always entertaining, while the band (Rob Pursey – also Heavenly, Bob Collins – The Dentists, Ian Button - Death In Vegas) kick up an infectious melodic racket.

SNOOZERS
Renowned bon vivant and all-round gent Jon Bartholomew Slade (ex-Huggy
Bear, sometime Comet Gain) re-materialises with defector doodler Steve Ursula Dore
(Casual Dots) and international pop secret Nadia Roger Buyse (Dubais) to make
Snoozers. This minimalist three piece has released a single to much acclaim from the
punk underground through Notown records in 2020 and has since self-released more
digitally and on Cassette through Jon Slade’s Promotional Palace tape label.

"Late blooming dream-nation tricorn, blasting short and sweet. Sleepy,
creepy, weepies. Fresh out of hibernation. Punk, affecting" - Mutton

"Sweet Tooth"
Patty, South London Gazette

"Snoozers are made of stardust, their whole body consists of material that
has been here before the beginning of time." - Giorgio A. Tsoukalos
