British Sea Power
British Sea Power are eccentric,
whimsical and blessed with the freedom that an indie label and
insanely loyal fan base bring. Each record has defied expectations
with their third album, described as a phenomenal
masterpiece narrowly missing out on the Mercury Music Prize
for their 'Do You Like Rock Music' .
Following this the band have just
released a soundtrack to 'Man of Aran' and with a solid
reputation of being a superb live act, we look welcoming them
to the Music Festival, your only chance to see them in the south
this summer, outside a major Festival.
"...British Sea Power rule!” Rolling
Stone
"The best band in Britain" The Sunday
Times
King Creosote
King Creosote (or Kenny Anderson, as he's better known in his
native Anstruther, Fife) is a veritable one-man army. As well as
writing, producing and performing for over a decade in various
guises, he is he’s also the founder of Fence
Records, a collective of musicians, artists and craftsfolk
based in Fife, Scotland. KC has emerged as one of the true
spearheads of the recent folk revival. His distinct, quirky songs
are both supremely fresh and achingly familiar, and can be heard in
any number of live shows and festivals he organizes, as well as on
his latest album Flick the Vs.
"King Creosote’s fifth album charms from the word go with
lilting Scottish vocals and pace and style changes that keep you
guessing. (Flick The Vs is) an absolute corker."

Dlugokecki is a musical project fronted by Ben Dlugokecki
(pronounced- Der-loo-go-ken-ski) - An extraordinarily talented 26
year old prolific singer/songwriter based in Southampton, England.
He is joined by Andy Wild (Keys, vocals), Marie Kitchen (Cello,
vocals), Boyd (Drums) & Aidan Hampson (Bass). Their music has
been compared to the likes of David Gray, Paul Simon and Damian
Rice.
Dlugokecki, have just returned from their 1st
American tour ,where they literally blew crowds away in both New
York and at the prestigious , by invitation only ;SXSW (Austin,
Texas).
Having played with everyone from Snow
Patrol to David Gray they stand on the precipice of breaking both
Stateside and Nationally .Thousands of a people each day listen to
their music via myspace and pretty soon they really will be . . .
the difficult name on everyone’s lips . . .
The year 2008, marked the beginning of Broken
Links. A 3-piece alternative act from Eastleigh, diving
into the lyrical and musical depths of free association, taking you
on an emotional rollercoaster of despair to complete arousal.
Influenced by the under-currents of post-punk, and then boxing
it up into an old stone box made of pure hard space rock and sin. A
band you simply cannot ignore.
Broken Links have supported signed acts
'My Vitriol', ‘Fighting with Wire’, ‘Official Secrets Act’, and
‘The Cinematics’, picking up some die-hard fans along the way. They
have taken their live show to well established venues such as The
Joiners, iBar, Talking Heads, The Railway Inn, and Lennons, with
full intention of leaving watchers mesmerised by the wall of sound
they create. A sound certainly not expected of a three piece.
If their first EP Resisting Movement And The Almost
Advisory is anything to go by, they cannot disappoint.
