(Thu 2 Feb / 8pm / £5 advance)

RM Hubbert is a guitarist from Glasgow in Scotland. He writes music about love, death, friendship, mental illness and occasionally a dog called D Bone. It’s not as depressing as the previous sentence suggests.

A long-established figure on Glasgow’s music scene, Hubbert has played guitar in cult instrumental trio El Hombre Trajeado since the early 90s. His second solo album, Thirteen Lost and Found (Chemikal Underground), features collaborations with Aidan Moffat (Arab Strap), Emma Pollock (The Delgados), Alex Kapranos (Franz Ferdinand) and Alastair Roberts. Expect a mesmerising performance incorporating elements of flamenco, samba and contemporary classical music.
Cardiff/Bristol-based Things Make Electric play tropicalia-tinged krautpop.
Snails formed in 2010 when Dan Weltman (aka Hollowbody) recruited friend Mog Fry (The Wraiths/Ukeytronica) to help soundtrack a budget slasher involving a homicidal nun. Their sound is awash in melancholy folk and sumptuous pop arrangements.
