Joshua Burnside is an experimental folk songwriter, singer and producer. He takes influence from alternative electronica and Irish folk, chopping and blending them with a mixture of found sounds, world music and unorthodox production methods. Following an award-winning debut album and an acclaimed follow-up released during the height of the global pandemic, his music lives against the grain, in both style and spirit.

In November 2024 Red Snapper release the ‘Tight Chest’ EP featuring LA producer David Harrow via Lo Recordings.

A follow up EP featuring the current live line up will be released in 2025 which, combined with the tracks from 'Tight Chest', will form the full vinyl album ‘Barb and Feather’.

Warp records will also be concurrently releasing a unique limited vinyl version of ‘Reeled and Skinned’, the band's acclaimed first outing for the label from back in 1995.

Rose City Band’s music is sun-kissed timeless country rock whose seemingly effortless momentum carries the joy of its creation without ignoring the darkness pervading our consciousness. Led by guitarist/vocalist Ripley Johnson, the music of Rose City Band is rooted in his love of private press records of the mid to late 70’s. The band, in addition to Johnson, features pedal steel guitarist Barry Walker, keyboardist Paul Hasenberg and drummer John Jeffrey who enmesh a keen sense of rhythmic drive and melody with gentler, sumptuous atmospheres.

Join us for a day of spectacular festive fun on Saturday 14 December, the day will be packed with festive treats from 2pm – 11pm.

This incredibly special festive fundraising event is a ‘not-to-be-missed’ family occasion with something for everyone.

The stage will be set for live performances from Caution Collective and a whole host of special guests; food and drink; local market makers for all your festive gifting; Christmas decorations everywhere; a raffle with amazing prizes; family activities and in true house party style, a DJ to see the night out.

Welcome to the world of Sorry. A band whose warped melodic sounds blur the lines of genre conventions and their two critically acclaimed records, 2020’s 925 and 2022’s Anywhere But Here have led to a devoted following on both sides of the Atlantic. Comprised of Asha Lorenz, Louis O’Bryen, Campbell Baum, Marco Pini and Lincoln Barrett, Sorry have been creating groundbreaking music since they were teenagers and have become the favourite band of everyone’s favourite band.

In their four years of existence, much has changed for Teesside agitators Benefits. Over lockdown they morphed from spirited guitar-led punks into overwhelmingly brutal harsh noise-wielders, whose furious, eviscerating music garnered them the kind of word of mouth following most artists can only dream of. Frontman Kingsley Hall’s spoken (and screamed) vocals acting as a righteous rebuke to the divisive, xenophobic, poisonous rhetoric coming from elsewhere, spread by those who stand to profit from the fallout, that had all but overwhelmed our public discourse.
