Seamus Forgarty is an Irish alt-folk and electronica alchemist Seamus Fogarty has released two albums on Domino Records - ‘A Bag Of Eyes’ at the end of 2020 and ‘The Curious Hand’, released in 2017. He released his debut full-length, ‘God Damn You Mountain’, on cult Scottish label Fence Records in 2012. His albums have been universally praised for their fresh approach to song writing and unique fusion of traditional instrumentation and electronics.  Expect a live show that dips into numerous genres from krautrock to traditional balladry and everything in between, old songs and new, mixing conventional instrumentation with found sounds and live electronics, all fronted by Fogarty’s plaintive vocal and songwriting.

‘Magical journeys through fable and modern life and back again, often in the same song’ The Guardian. ‘Nestles beautifully at the point where the digital and analogue worlds collide’ The Skinny. ‘By turns gritty and poetic…a real original’  The Observer. ‘That rare thing in folk: original, self-contained and unencumbered by the genre’ Mojo. “The ghostly emotional wallop of the tunes will take your breath away” The Irish Times.

Golden Valley Bench is Daniel Potter, a lock keeper and grunge kid from Reading. Dream to some nightmare to others... expect a few of the many songs; like tropical warmth billowing from a forgotten english backwater. 

Ed Dowie is from Wimborne in Dorset and as a child he was an organist and choirboy, now he’s with Lost Map records and makes music like an expert. Things that are said about him are; blossoming experimental, petal, creaking furniture, mingling oddball, pop instinct, ambient colourist, quirk beguiling. 

DJ Miss Fishguard will be spinning round music for a square world.
