DAN MANGAN
(on stage 9.30pm)
Vancouver's Dan Mangan returns to the UK after touring as support for The
Broken Family Band and silencing a capacity crowd at Brighton's Great Escape
Festival last year. Mangan also took home the 2009 XM Verge Music Award for
“Artist Of The Year” (a bit like Canada's Radio 1 awarding the Mercury Prize
but voted for by the public).
"This folk singer may only be 23, but he sings with the soul of Woody
Guthrie - if Woody Guthrie had listened to Godspeed (You Black Emperor)" -
NME
"Rather the talk of the town at the minute... Nice, Nice, Very Nice is a
deeply mature and introspective album... Mature, slow to unravel, and broad in
scope, this is a fine, fine, very fine record indeed." - 78% THE LINE OF
BEST FIT Album Review

+ THE TRAVELLING BAND
(on stage 8.40pm)
“The sounds they generate took
me back to my musical roots. Marvellous music to savour and enjoy” - Michael
Eavis, Glastonbury Festival
“Sparkling harmonies and bright chirpy guitars pepper this album full of
bright-eyed optimism.” - Jerome Blakeney, BBC Radio 6 Music
“If you consider the term Mancunian Americana to be an oxymoron try listening
to The Travelling Band. Brilliant.” - Marc Riley, 6Music

+ THIS FRONTIERS NEEDS HEROES
(on stage 8.00pm)
Listening to This Frontier Needs Heroes is like having Brad
and Jessica play in your backyard while the sun comes up. They play intimate,
striped down songs full of honest personal stories of love, loss and longing
for a better world. Both poetic and rowdy, Brad and Jessica will make you laugh
and cry with their raw powerful delivery and delicate harmonies.
