Headline Act: Cyrano
Originally formed as a three piece back in 2001, indie rock band Cyrano soon became a foursome with the addition of lead guitarist, Karl Barton. From this moment on, their sound was born. With influences from bands like Pearl Jam and Elbow, Cyrano have crafted a unique blend of thoughtfully written songs, rock guitars and Tom Yorke-esque vocals resulting in a hugely melodic sound. The band are currently recording their second album in Assault and Battery Studios in London. Their first album "I, You, Us, Them" is available to buy on CD and iTunes. The band’s line up is Joe Ackerley on Vocals and guitar, Matt Wilson on drums, Tim Hubbard on bass and vocals, and Karl Barton on lead guitar.
Dan Clews
Currently in the middle of recording his 3rd studio album, 2015 has seen Dan debut new material from his forthcoming album at one of Holland’s biggest festivals “Concert At Sea” alongside the likes of Lenny Kravits, Counting Crows and Dutch legends BLØF. His own events “Folking In The Strawberries” selling out fast with up to 1000 attendees attending 5 weekly events at his residency at a Kent Strawberry farm.
Dan’s previous album campaign saw him play a support to a sold out Albert Hall gain support from Radio 2 and an extended session for Bob Harris. He also gained support from Tim Minchin who invited Dan to accompany him as a special guest on numerous stages and TV/Radio appearances. Additionally Dan’s recent appearance to a full to capacity stage at Glastonbury sits well with an ever-growing tick list for Dan.
