Jake Vaadeland

Jake Vaadeland is a self-taught multi-instrumentalist and songwriter from Saskatchewan, Canada. His traditional sound and unique style could be defined as a blend of Bluegrass and 50’s Rockabilly, with Jake also specializing on guitar and banjo in addition to his impressive vocals. Jake strives to write and play with a focus on storytelling and messages that he hopes his audience can relate to, all packaged in foot stomping, high energy performances with The Sturgeon River Boys.

Ye Vagabonds

Ye Vagabonds is an Irish alt-folk group led by Dublin-based brothers Diarmuid and Brían Mac Gloinn. Having been described as "being at the fore of a new wave of Irish folk", they have won Best Track, Best Album and Best Folk Group at RTE Radio 1 Folk Awards.

They have toured relentlessly in recent years across Ireland, the UK, Europe and beyond including (alongside their own headline touring) notable Special Guest slots opening for the likes of Patti Smith, Hozier, Phoebe Bridgers, boygenuius, Dermot Kennedy and Vampire Weekend. A new album is due for release in 2025.

Pentagram

You can try if you want – you wouldn’t be the first – but Pentagram are undeniable. More than 50 years on from the first incarnation of the band, through decades of tumult, hard wins and tough losses, the band has cast an influence across doom the likes of which few have ever attained, and as with Candlemass, or Saint Vitus, Trouble or any other ‘legendary’ name you want to drop, modern doom cannot not take the shape it has without them.

DIIV

Frog in Boiling Water is a gorgeous and haunted record, as DIIV gaze into our collective oblivion and try to articulate a trace of hope inside that enveloping gloom. Balancing rhythms first built from breakbeats and inspired by post-industrial power with guitars and vocals that often billow like diaphanous drapery, Frog in Boiling Water is mighty but breezy, greyscale but opalescent. Though DIIV helped to foster a shoegaze scene that has since swept up many imaginations, they rose above it despite nearly falling apart

Turin Breaks

Turin Brakes are releasing brand-new studio album ‘Spacehopper’ in May 2025. Produced by Grammy-winning Guy Massey, Spacehopper is the band’s first new music in over three years and marks Turin Brakes’ 10th studio album. A big milestone for a band who released their debut album over 24 years ago - The Mercury Prize nominated The Optimist LP which catapulted them into the mainstream and achieved Gold status in the UK. The title track Spacehopper from the new album is available everywhere now.

Third World

Celebrating 47 years, the ‘Reggae Ambassadors’, THIRD WORLD is one of the longest lived Reggae bands of all time, and one of Jamaica's most consistently popular crossover acts among international audiences.  Mixing in elements of R&B, funk, pop, and rock and, later on, dancehall and rap, Third World’s style has been described as "reggae-fusion". Singer Bunny Rugs described the band's sound: "Strictly a reggae band, no.

Christopher Owens

Not long after the release of Girls’ second album Father, Son, Holy Ghost, singer and frontman Christopher Owens announced that he was leaving the formative indie duo in pursuit of a solo career. Following the solo releases of 2011's Lysandre, 2014's A New Testament, and 2015's Chrissybaby Forever, he eventually went on to release more music in 2017 with Curls. Since then, he's continued to lead a life marked by both extraordinary highs and profound lows.

Annie Keating Band

Lucinda Williams. John Prine. Bob Dylan. Allison Krauss. Willie Nelson. Johnny Cash. Bonnie Raitt. Emmylou Harris. Patty Griffin. This is a short list of the musicians Annie Keating has been compared to over the last twenty years. Keating writes and sings like a woman who knows deep down that heartache is the price of hope, and she can make us believe -- in that way that only the best artists can -- that all of it is worth the cost.

Tom Robinson with Adam Phillips: Then & Now

Tom Robinson presents an evening of songs and stories from fifty years wandering the wilder shores of the Record Industry.

Classic hits such as War Baby, Up Against The Wall, and 2-4-6-8 Motorway rub shoulders with a Radio 1 ban for being Glad To be Gay, rocking against racism with The Clash, writing songs with Elton John, headlining Glasto with Peter Gabriel, drug smuggling in East Germany, two nervous breakdowns and a year in tabloid hell after falling in love with a woman.
