TREMBLING BELLS ::

http://www.myspace.com/tremblingbells

Trembling Bells are a Glasgow based band who seek to reanimate the mythic landscapes of Great Britain via a love for Traditional Folk, Early music and canonical Rock.

Trembling Bells have just finished recording their second album, Abandoned Love, for Honest Jon's records. Trembling Bells effortlessly combine and personalise these superficially disparate musical forms generating a sound that is saturated in the myths and mysteries of their native terrain but also startlingly original.

"Trembling Bells are my kind of band." - Joe Boyd

Mark Fry & The A.Lords ::

For years, psych-folk legend Mark Fry has been regarded by many as the very epitome of acid-folk and the Holy Grail for collectors of rare vinyl, copies of his cult classic 1972 album Dreaming with Alice have been known to change hands for $4000 and more. Meanwhile, he was living the quiet life of an artist, until a web search revealed the album he recorded as a 19 year-old had become one of the world's most sought-after records. Mark emerges from the shadows to perform his first London gig in over 30 years. For this auspicious occasion, Mark will be accompanied by young Dorset-based band The A.Lords. Mark, and the talented five-piece - including guitar, bouzouki, accordion, harp and flute instrumentation - will combine fresh takes on songs from Dreaming with Alice with a tantalising glimpse of his new work.

The Raghu Dixit Project ::
