Festival 2007

Marissa Nadler and Emmy The Great

Although a leading light in New York’s psyche-folk underground, singer songwriter Marissa Nadler is less well known in the UK.  This is all set to change according to our media partner, Mojo magazine, who made Nadler one of their top tips for 2007.  Nadler is joined in a special double-bill by Emmy The Great, a curious and sweet confection whose music encompasses a kind of ramshackle charm.  Even fashion bible Vogue selected the lady as their singer/songwriter tip for 2007, and who are we to argue with them?

“Bjorkish chirruping with defiantly iridescent dream-folk” Mojo
"The acoustic, honey-voiced angel of British anti-folk." NME

Plus free music in the Vats Bar with Helen Watson, from 7.30pm.  Helen Watson is a unique performer whose matured voice and idiosyncratic songs are a welcome change in the world of singer-songwriters. Her magical music crosses the boundaries between blues, soul, jazz and folk. Helen's latest solo album Lifesize is possibly her very best recording yet - the very best acoustic folk-soul from Britain. The album is a stunning collection of Helen's magically understated songs - beguiling songs of hope, intriguing songs of love lost and new love found.
