CALAN
"Folk just got kicked into the noughties... stunning use of instrumentation, gorgeously crafted songs… verve and raw excitement."
Calan bring together the remarkable talents of five young musicians with a fresh and vibrant blend of instruments
With a contemporary and lively approach they breathe new life into the old traditions through sparkling melodies, foot tapping tunes and energetic step dancing; blasting their way through old favourite reels, jigs and hornpipes with fast paced and uplifting arrangements before melting into beautiful and haunting songs.

KID CARPET AND THE NOISY ANIMALS
This lively and entertaining show is a rock’n’roll theatre extravaganza for children and adults aged 3yrs and upwards, containing a unique mix of live music, theatre, comedy and animation.
Cloying and annoying child-tailored music gets the boot. Over the last decade, the Bristol-based Kid Carpet has gained worldwide repute as a pioneer of catchy, lo-fi electronic pop music, especially since signing with Radio One's Rob Da Bank.
According to Ali Robertson, artistic director of Tobacco Factory Theatre in Bristol, “Kid Carpet has created a fresh, funny and engaging show that is quite unlike anything I have seen before.”

CAFE CHAOS by THE KOSH
With awards under their belts from Edinburgh Festival, the Manchester Evening News, and New York Festivals, this physical theatre company are on the road with a new show mixing comedy, theatre, dance and music with a great story.
Funny, superbly skilful, gloriously theatrical and guaranteed to keep the audience on the edge of their seats, The Scotsman calls The Kosh’s work “wonderful theatrical creations”.
For thirty years the group has been using the abstraction of dance to explore narrative, and developing a form that marries breathtaking acrobatics, dance, and physical comedy with intense emotion and ideas.

KATE NASH
Kate Nash is a Brit-award-winning, platinum-selling songstress of a truly British hue. Her album Foundations went straight to number one in the UK, with countless fans relating to her sweet voice and catty charm.
With a brand new album out called Girl Talk, Kate's new material has been described as "glorious", "unexpected", and as more punk than punk.
With great early reviews of the album from Drowned in Sound magazine andNME, and a rough and ready all-new all-girl band backing her up, this performance looks to be very memorable indeed.
