-Free Entry and open from 6pm

Your New Friend (London)
http://www.myspace.com/yournewfriendband
Acoustic duo Your New Friend sound like what might have happened if Morrissey had formed a band with Mark Kozelek in Christmas 2009.

Featuring ultra baritone voiced Simon Kobayashi from smallgang, with Sun Kil Moon-esque guitar workouts from Alex Carter (Armchair Songs).

“Simon has some nice songs” Geoff Farina

Michael Liggins (Leicester)

http://www.myspace.com/michaeljliggins
Leicestershire based Liggins creates melodic and fervent acoustic music. Believing the silence as important as the musical notes surrounding it, songs are usually performed carefully and with poetic and often abstract lyrics.

“Delicately put together tunes which have hints of early Bright Eyes, coupled with 60s and 70s psychedelic folk” - Folkin' Sheffield.

“Superb” Chris Brokaw

Mordros SOLO
http://www.myspace.com/mordrostheband
Basso voiced Solo burblings from Smallgang/Mordros guitarist/singer Toshi with special guestsTBA.

*Mordros are not a black metal band and have no connections to Lord of the Rings.

Benjamin Shaw (London)
http://www.myspace.com/benjaminshaw
Influenced in equal parts by Smudge, Smog and Smallville, Benjamin does oddly detailed quirky lofi in an OCD sort of way.

"Fastidiously DIY in sound...A ‘name’ for 2010." - God is in The TV
