The stars predict great things from DB, this magikal folk minstrel. Probably the last time, this young gifted troubadour will play such an intimate venue. As Michael Gira (Swans and Young God Records) who discovered him says... "He's the most genuine, least cynical and calculated artist I've ever known, and he deserves every bit of the good things now coming his way... He GIVES"
His performance is relaxed and unkempt his pseudo-psychedelic melodic vocal phrasing contributes to an unearthly ambience added to by a quivering croon and subtle guitar picking. The new album "Rejoicing In The Hands" on XL RECORDINGS features a duet with Vashti Bunyan (Folk legend), and is teaming with warm summer songs.. . A star.

FP (aka Tom Wilson) is the sound of a Knowle lad who somehow lifts African guitar riffs and sticks them on to Kinks - like melodies and comes over all Ian Curtis. Delicate but downright effecting, you will be mesmerized.

EB is the no holds barred back room bluesy rock and raconteur sounds of a woman born to sing songs her own unique way.
