“What’s so immediately evident about Langkamer when they play live is just what good songwriters they are." - Bristol in Stereo

The last true heroes of the old South West, Langkamer make good ol’ fashioned guitar music to get your toe nails twitching and your heart strings itching. With feel-good pop hits about things like mortality, anxiety and climate change, if you don’t dig Langkamer you’re probably a square. Or a narc. Or both.

As well as touring England and Sweden this summer, LK will be hitting the road this Autumn to launch their sophomore EP – ‘Getting The Band Back Together’, with the first single already released in the form of ‘Steel’. With a string of festivals and support slots under their belts, Langkamer are going from strength to strength, winning hearts wherever they go.

Norwich based folk trio Alden Patterson and Dashwood weave rich vocal harmonies, fiddle, dobro and guitar around beautifully written original songs and melodies.

‘Something of enormous promise’ - Songlines

Their music takes influence from folk traditions from both sides of the Atlantic with uplifting instrumentals and self-penned songs depicting tales of young travellers, sleepy seas and their affection for home. Their stunning live performances have engaged and impressed audiences across the UK and Europe and have included an extensive support tour with folk legends Show Of Hands and main stage shows at some of the UK’s most prestigious festivals.

‘It’s lovely stuff’ – Mark Radcliffe, BBC Radio 2 

‘Talented and poetic triumvirate’ - R2 Magazine

Support comes from George Nash, who will take you to a place of zen and relaxation. Taking influence from the likes of Ben Howard and Ludovico Einaudi, the fingerstyle guitarist’s music channels all manner of instruments from percussion to bass and beyond into one acoustic guitar – live and with no backing tracks. George draws his inspiration for his music from nature and the countryside around his home in Wales. We guarantee you’ll be given a new light on what the acoustic guitar is capable of!  

“What I love best about his music is the unique and unpredictable qualities of his tunes. He's not afraid to explore less obvious themes and take the listener on a real musical journey” — Nigel Gilbert

The Mighty Vipers are an eight-piece party machine from the north of England. A composite of brass band culture mixed with the protest activism of punk rock, driven forward with a reggae-inspired groove. 

“Like a steamroller of sound; smashing you round the face with a wet kipper while you make your best sex face” – Express and Star

Just like the black, sooty stuff that fuelled the industrial revolution, the Vipers are miners of kinetic frenzy, both onstage and off, creating a unified sea of sweat, smiles and celebration. Set your brain into defragmentation mode and let the soul man your human.

“Mighty Vipers are a new ska band from Shrewsbury and their album Elemental is a great take on all the bits of the ska story from Rocksteady and Calypso to Punk Ska. Also great lyrics and melodies – It’s hard to disagree with that having heard Chasing the Sun” – Tom Robinson, BBC Radio 6 Music

“One of the most exciting prospects on the burgeoning country scene” - Paul Sexton: BBC Radio 2

Katy Hurt has rapidly become a leading light on the UK Country-Americana scene. 2018 saw her receive a nomination for “Best Country/Folk Act” at the Unsigned Music Awards as well as performing festival slots at Country 2 Country, BlackDeer, Rhythmtree, Cornbury and many more. Katy Hurt is one of those rare talents that can write and perform with equal impact.

Folk duo Nightingales Watch return to the globe this March, this time presenting Luna Bec. 

"the beginning of a bright future for this truly great singer-songwriter" - She Makes Music 

Luna Bec is a rare artist who is able to share their soul and include you in the experience. Her style is authentic, raw and vulnerable; her songs explore the human condition from the intimate to the universal. 

"Relatable and inspirational" - Get Into This

A multi-instrumentalist, her music has taken a journey of many turns through jazz, funk, and ancient Georgian folksong. Like some of her early musical influences Nina Simone, Simon & Garfunkel and Bob Dylan, her passion for social justice often finds its way into her music. 

Her second single "Power To Change," is a haunting and uplifting call to arms on the theme of the climate crisis, along with its powerful video of the youth strikers.

"Stunning" - Loud Women 

In support of Extinction Rebellion. 

Tickets are just £5 - CASH ONLY 

-       HAY Nawr

The True Strays are a vintage loving, blues fuelled, dirty rock and roll band. Their live shows are a joyous hoedown of huge bass driven riffs, a howling tornado of resonator guitar, cacophonous drums and soaring Hammond organ.

“Rising stars of the UK Americana scene” – The List

Influences span the history of modern music with great admiration for the delta blues of the 40s and 50s, British Invasion and Psychedelic Rock of the 60s and 70s, Southern Rock and Soul and modern age Punk, Rock and Blues artists. Blues music is at the heart of everything they do but their sound isn’t bound to those rules or that genre.

Influences include greats like Muddy Waters and Howling Wolf, Jimi Hendrix and Fleetwood Mac, The Doors and Pink Floyd and more recent punk and rock and roll bands like Nirvana, QOTSA and Idles.

“A hip-shaking barrage of blues rock n roll.”  – Clunk Magazine

 “Their creations have vitality, it’s more than just words and music, they pack a real punch and make you sit up and take notice…” – Blues & Roots Radio

Matthew Frederick fuses an early love of classic singer-songwriters with more recent influences to create a distinctive and timeless blend of pop, indie- folk and blues, with a touch of Cymrucana and contemporary classical thrown in for good measure. 

“One of the names to look out for” - Metro

With headline shows in the UK, US and Europe under his belt, as well as fronting BBC Introducing favourites' Climbing Trees, the Rhondda Valley musician has released four albums, two EPs and eleven singles to date since his 2011 debut Venus & Mars. 

Alongside numerous festival (Green Man, Hay Festival) television (BBC, S4C) and radio (BBC Radio 1, 6 Music) appearances, Matthew has also recorded at London’s iconic Maida Vale Studios, performed with the BBC National Orchestra of Wales and was shortlisted for the Welsh Music Prize following the release of the Trees’ most recent album, the much-anticipated and critically- acclaimed Borders. 

“Subtle elegance … delicate beauty” - New Sound Wales

Matthew followed summer single Tell Me, playlisted across a number of stations and labelled his 'most upbeat miserable song yet', with latest offering Hay-on-Wye in Autumn 2019 ahead of his forthcoming debut solo studio album Fragments, set for an early 2020 release via Staylittle Music. 

Crinkle Cuts deliver you a blasting of tantric funk, smooth reggae and new-wave latin ska woven together with good vibes for an eccentric, exotic and eargasmic live performance. The Bristol 7-piece have brought their electric live show to stages across the UK and Europe and have built up a reputation for getting crowds dancing through the night, whilst they dance through the stage.

As well as their incredible live performances, Crinkle Cuts music has been well received with the BBC describing the Crinkle Cuts as “Amazing!” Bigger than Patrick, their new LP is out right now to stream on Soundcloud or to purchase on Bandcamp, iTunes and other major online stores.

Known for their tracks ‘Two Shoes’ and ‘Dan’s Song’, their debut album is underway, which includes the new hit ‘Slipped on a Banana' and is not one to be missed!

"The Pleasure is All Yours" is perhaps best imagined by thinking of a mix of early Chili's, and the Cat Empire by way of the Black Seeds. Album artwork designed by legendary urban artist Sweettoof.

The new singles "Whiskey Smile" and "Pick Up the Junk" are out NOW to stream or download on all platforms; watch this space as the only way is up for the UK's only self-proclaimed Tantric Funk band.

“A thoughtful commentary on modern society” – Americana UK

A self-taught musician with a unique playing and writing style, Mock Deer has re-immersed himself in London's Alt-Folk scene over recent years playing shows for many of the best local promoters and touring both in the U.K. and Europe supporting great acts such as The Burning Hell, Simon Joyner, Sam Brookes, Nadine Khouri & The Magic Lantern. As well as writing original music for theatre and television he has released 2 EPs ‘Cold and Bright’ and ‘How We Used to Live’ and at several U.K. festivals including numerous performances at Festival No.6, Wilderness and Head for the Hills.

“Most thoughtful and reflective of our times” – Echoes & Dust

The Grahams are New York grown, Nashville based couple Alyssa and Doug Graham. With stellar songwriting and bold arrangements, the new record is a love letter to the timeless pop albums Alyssa and Doug grew up with, harkening back to a time when Brian Wilson, Nancy Sinatra, Dusty Springfield, The Ronettes and Diana Ross & The Supremes ruled the airwaves.

The 2015 follow-up, Glory Bound, influenced by the couple’s train adventure all over America, was declared, “easily one of the best Americana albums of the year” - No Depression. Rattle the Hocks, a film directed by North Mississippi Allstars’ Cody Dickinson, chronicled the journey and became an international film-festival favorite.

With their new album, comes a new sound. Kids Like Us, is a love letter to timeless pop albums, harkening back to when Brian Wilson & Dusty Springfield ruled the airwaves. Written during a wild motorcycle ride along Route 66, at the height of the 2016 election season, the chaotic stimulus they witnessed was channeled into bold, aching melodies that grew out of motel-room whispers and studio experimentation. “Everything about Route 66 – the neon signs, motels, cars, the menus – are stuck in a different time,” Alyssa says. As a result, the music has moments of fantasy & the supernatural. It’s big, lush, ambitious & profoundly satisfying with its own unique alt pop sensibility.

United by a love of tea, energetic dancing, cheeky riffs, silly hats, and cake, Mr Tea and the Minions have been unleashing their colourful explosion of musical mayhem on unsuspecting audiences since 2013.

“The Minions seamlessly weave Balkan Beats with ska, dub and swing to create a bouncing set. It’s impossible not to get involved.” The Independent

The band has been showcased by Fatea Magazine as one of the best emerging U.K. Folk bands.  Force of the Tide has been awarded the ‘Debut Album of the Year’ in Fatea’s Annual Awards 2019 and was nominated for the 2019 Sound Board Magazine Awards among the top four artists from Wales in the ‘Best Album’ category.

The Meadows have twice played at Glasgow’s Celtic Connections, the International Music Eisteddfod in Llangollen, the Fishguard Folk Festival, How the Light Gets In, The Little Big Gig, Cardiff’s WMC and many other festivals and events along with regular airplay on national and international radio and T.V. networks.  A number of their works have debuted on BBC radio.
