Funke & The Two Tone Baby

Tue, 16 Apr 2013 16:33:17 GMT

A one-man mechanical blues band, a ‘self-contained festival’ and one of the ‘hardest working acts’ on the independent live circuit! Creating a blues folk mix with a technological twist and having been compared to a uniquely experimental, multi-instrumental mash-up between Bob Dylan, Jack White and The Hitcher, Funke will audibly assault you and you’ll find yourself coming back for more!

Simon Kempston

Thu, 24 Jan 2013 11:01:14 GMT

A prolific, engaging songwriter and an inspiring, poetic lyricist, Simon’s songs are amongst the most thought-provoking you are likely to hear, often sidestepping the usual themes of love and attraction in favour of offering social commentary and an insight into the everyday lives of people. His love of Celtic landscape coupled with his travels abroad, particularly in Eastern Europe, has also influenced many of his lyrics. Simon’s original, distinctive guitar playing is founded upon a complex, finger-picking style steeped in the history of the folk, blues and celtic traditions and is complemented by a rich baritone vocal.However, it is in live performance that Simon’s true passion for music shines through. A powerful and intense live performer Simon has previously had the good fortune to appear on bills with, amongst others, acts like Martin Simpson, Archie Fisher, Martin Stephenson and Haysed Dixie.

Royston Duxford

Thu, 24 Jan 2013 11:10:41 GMT

These distant cousins, soon to be brothers, miraculously met in a dishevelled hash bar in Morocco sometime during the autumn of 2010. After realising their connection all settled down to a night of hash and brandy, recounting the stories that had been passed to each of them about their wayward Grandfather.
Despite possessing none of Royston’s talent for motorcycle racing, each of the brothers had been blessed with their own musical gift so it was proposed, decided upon and set in stone that they would start a Rock’n’Roll band dedicated to telling the innumerable stories of Royston Duxford.
It was on that fateful night that Royston Duxford “the band” was born.....

Arthur Rigby & The Baskervylles

Tue, 14 May 2013 09:48:33 GMT

Free entry from 8pm - over 18's only

‘Gorgeous’ – Tom Robinson BBC 6 Music Introducing

‘I am a big Arthur Rigby fan, as are many people! You’re music is absolutely brilliant!’ –Alan Raw, BBC Introducing West Yorkshire

‘Wonderfully sweeping, intricate and majestic pop songs distinctly of the “they don’t write them like that anymore” category’ – The Beat Surrender

‘quintessentially English’; ‘impressively ambitious’ – Leeds Music Scene

Arthur Rigby & the Baskervylles are an 8-piece Orchestral Pop band, based in Leeds. The sound the band creates is a genuinely beautiful mixing pot of lush orchestrations, poetic lyrics, romantic melodies and powerful energy.

Arthur Rigby have become firm favourites of BBC 6 Music’s Tom Robinson, who regularly features the band on his show. As their following begins to grow at a substantial rate, the band are developing quite a buzz attracting labels and management alike.The music is the invention of front man and guitarist Benjamin, scoring songs for violins, piano, bass, trumpet, trombone, Saxophone and flute. Originally a 2-piece, with drummer Alex joining Benjamin, the Leeds based duo used orchestral backing arranged on laptops with samples and programming.

Arthur Rigby & the Baskervylles released their debut Ep, Tales From Pegasus Wood, in April 2012. The 5 track E.P encapsulate the band’s sound, moving from the huge chorus of Dark Clouds to the epic climactic storm on lead single One Stormy Night to the tender and fragile melodies on Ode to Gog . the Ep has been extremely well received and has featured on BBC Introducing on 6 Music and West Yorkshire.

Support from Kite & The Crane

Kite and the Crane formed in 2012 via musical protests and orchestras. They are an indie-folk trio from Edinburgh who have been causing a stir with their packed out live shows in the city recently. They have just released their first five track EP, Found in the End. With odes to modern women, anti-shopping centre anthems and invocations of storms, the band bring a fresh, intriguing angle to indie-folk. Emilia, Niki and Hannah are very excited to be playing some tour dates in Nottingham, Sheffield and Manchester in July, as well as some Scottish festivals.
