8:00 PM - JAMES VINCENT MCMORROW + ROB BRAVERY

James Vincent McMorrow has taken a somewhat circuitous route to success (hardcore rock, hip hop, a house by the Irish Sea and a growing love of folk). The haunting folk and mythic imagery of James’ debut album proves he is a brilliant new talent. ‘Early In The Morning’ is an atmospheric and absorbing listen, which peels back layers upon every visit. It can be musically sweet and lyrically maudlin by equal measure.

8:00 PM - SPIRO + CLIFF STAPLETON OF BLOWZABELLA

Despite the group’s folk-friendly tools (violin, acoustic guitar, mandolin and accordion), they can’t be easily categorised. Guitarist Jon Hunt has a go. “We’ve got more to do with minimalist classical and dance music than we have with folk. Even though we use folk tunes, they’re raw materials that the rest of the sound is built around.” All four members, all four instruments, pull in the same direction, creating music that’s intricate yet so full of momentum and echoing – at various points – the work of Steve Reich, Michael Nyman and the Penguin Café Orchestra, but, kindred spirits aside, this is the music of Spiro – undeniably English, undeniably theirs. 8PM : £12.00 : £10.00 CONCESSIONS : SEATED
