--- Tara Clerkin Trio ---

The trio of Tara Clerkin, Sunny-Joe Paradisos and Patrick Benjamin have been playing together and apart in various guises and forms in Bristol for around a decade.

Having solidified the workings of the group over the last year, and recently releasing their self-titled debut album on Laura Lies In, the trio are currently touring with their live setup, drifting from dubby minimalism to smudged acid jazz, Tara’s stark and tuneful voice acts as the vehicle for her concise poetic lyricism. The group coalesce disparate influences into a cohesive sound, reflecting a romantic view of a familiar world.

--Quinie--

Josie Vallely is based in Glasgow and explores traditional Scots song with a style inspired by the traditions of Scottish Traveller singers Lizzie Higgins (1929-1993) and her mother Jeannie Robertson (190-1975); amalgamating sean nos style melodies, children’s rhyme, story poems and snippets of more traditional tunes to create a bleak and extended blur of narratives routed in an imagined Scotland.

Quinie has released 2 albums on favourite Glasgow label GLARC (Greater Lanarkshire Auricular Research Council)

--Above A Sleeping City--

William Francis' Above A Sleeping City project attempts to suggest personal narratives using music, location ambiences, spoken word & reappropriated film, tv & radio content. Accompanied by live projection, Francis finds subtle, unexpected and beautiful interactions between disparate source material.

Francis' radio shows can be heard in the Real Landscape Archive -
