Mumford & Sons

Mumford & Sons are: Ben Lovett, Ted Dwane, Country Winston and Marcus Mumford. Forming in 2007, after meeting in Fulham's Bosun's Locker which Winston ran. The club night proved to be a catalyst for the current folk revival: Laura Marling, Noah and the Whale and Johnny Flynn all having jammed there as teenagers. Having released their debut album, Sigh No More, in October 2009 these Gentlemen have been on the road ever since.

Opening night Hoedown- Yes Please!

“The Mumfords are on the rise ... in fact, it's only a matter of time before someone books them to headline Glastonbury 2011”

Lissie

"Lissie has the voice, the songs and the image to be huge in 2010... A talent way too big for just one canyon."– Sunday Times

"One of the year’s true finds, Lissie maintains the flame for the true rebel country spirit with her finely-etched songs and smokey vocals" – The Mirror

We are delighted to be hosting this exciting new artist from Rock Island, Illinois, in such an intimate environment for her debut Northern Irish appearance.

Lissie’s live show is mesmerizing. She takes the audience on a rollercoaster – one instant silencing the room, the next lifting the roof off with everyone stomping their feet as she wigs out with her band.

Having recorded with both Bill Reynolds of Band of Horses, and Jacquire King (produced Kings of Leon, Josh Ritter and Tom Waits), we’re expecting great things of her debut album, Catching a Tiger, which is released on the 21st June.

Andrew Davie

There aren't many better candidates for this than 21 year old Andrew Davie, whom seemingly raised on modern American greats such as Tom Waits, Daniel Johnston and Elliott Smith, is sure to be competing with more established chart behemoths before the year is out.

The industries on both sides of the Atlantic are currently fighting tooth and nail for his signature and rightly so, combining a voice that sounds as tortured as it does delicate with a repertoire that most singer/songwriters would kill for even at this early stage, it seems to be less a case of "if" and more a case of "when".
