Stories and More
I’ll be appearing throughout the evening with pirate stories between musical acts – of which there are many and marvellous at that. Me mates at MissImp Nottingham Improv Comedy‘ll be there as well and we’re doing a set in the VIP Lounge at 7pm. It’s all for a good cause and looks set to be a fantastic night of music and entertainment. It’s a very busy weekend for me – Friday night’s our monthly improv show at The Glee Club – this month featuring one of New York’s finest Upright Citizens Brigade performers, Brandon Gardner. Saturday’s an all day workshop with the fellow and from there straight to the Rescue Rooms to start reading stories at 5pm! I very much doubt I’ll be able to speak on Sunday.

The Full Line Up
###### MAIN ROOM ######
YUNIOSHI 21:10 – 21:50
“Think Beck dry-humping The Flaming Lips with the robot from Lost In Space filming all the action..!” (Leftlion)
Self-described as “Robot funk”, this Nottingham quartet have made big waves in near and far waters over the last couple of years. New EP “Worms” is out now.
EULER 20:10 – 20:40
Thumping energy. Funky guitar swagger. Top drawer indiepop.
Nuff said.
FRONTIERS 19:20 – 19:50
Searing alt-rock from the Nottingham four-piece. Despite their relative youth, the band are veterans of the live circuit having played both Splendour and Dot2Dot Festivals over the last couple of years.
HARLEIGHBLU 18:30 – 19:00
Knockout soul vocals and sassy, sexy r’n’b vibes from this young Nottingham based act. Perfomed a brillant set at Splendour festival last year, they’re back with some new material and a real hunger to hit the stage.
CAPTAIN HORIZON 17:45 – 18:15
Echoing other emissaries from the West Midlands, this four-piece meld the steroidal riffage of Iommi with the flaming cheek of Skinner.
EP “Radiostasis” out now!
MUHA 16:50 – 17:20
Captivating Eastern European folk featuring the ethereal vocals of Iryna Muha and the wonderful guitar talent, Dmitry Fedotov.
SAINT RAYMOND 16:10 – 16:30
Hotly-tipped indie reggae star-in-waiting. Fresh from a sell-out show at Nottingham’s Playhouse.
