BAND INFORMATION

 

 

NATHAN BURTON

management : mike.ball@s-s-r.com

no posing or tortured torch songs. Just real life. But, played so eloquently and sung so beautifully. Tomorrows classics such as “It’s Hard To Sell Your Home” and the masterful Smiths influenced “Never Again” are unforgettable. So unassuming is Nathan that maybe even he may not realise how big a talent he really is.

 

ANNA KASHFI

'Kashfi combine the likes of pedal steel and analogue synths with Webley's elegant vocal to produce lost, shade-like figments of music from the school of Low, Hope Sandoval, and the Red House Painters. Given which, 'Philokalia' received numerous superlatives in the press, plus airtime on John Peel and across Europe, on release.

 

GEORGE

a thousand times more vital than its supposedly more fertile bad big brother, Rockunroll - Little of it is folk music as you would understand it; but more crucially, none of it is folk music as it has, in the past, been understood…. the reason it lives – is that it’s also far too beautiful for words.

 

ISOBEL HEYWORTH

http://www.isobelheyworth.com/

Unable to change or adapt within it’s own constraints, the new, younger generation of Folk influenced musicians like Heyworth are looking further and wider for ways in which to expand the Folk reference point. Americana, Protest Song, Prog, Rock – everything is cunningly and cleverly assimilated into something quite profound and new

 

CRESTFALLEN

“…Crestfallen don’t try to be anything they aren't -  not a hint of frayed-jumper singer-songwriter... The lyrics seem real and honest. No gimmicks, no frills, no bullshit. … Despite using as much unplugged stuff as possible the acoustic guitar break rocks as hard as anything with “Marshall” on the front…”
