Martin Stephenson - Feb 26th 2010
Leader/songwriter with the Daintees, Martin's musical education came from the cascading waterfall of Ray Manzerac's piano in the Doors, Jim Morrison & Patti Smith's stream of conciousness, John Cooper Clarke's machine gun poetry and the 'against the business angelhood' of Jonathan Richman.
Martin evolved into an unusual songwriter in the early 80's, writing idiosyncratic flavours way beyond his years. Making his name more as a strong performer and anti industry bard, relating more to outsiders and hobbyists than fame hungry networking lemmings.
King Croesote - April 16th 2010
Fife's finest, King Creosote, aka Kenny Anderson, is a man of many hats. Previously lead singer with the Skuobhie Dubh Orchestra, and head honcho of the Fence collective, he has created a unique and very Scottish alt folk scene helping the likes of James Yorkston and KT Tunstall along the way. His album 'Bombshell' was released to critical and commercial success and helped earn him an appearance on 'Later with Jools Holland'. His distinct, heartfelt songs manage to achieve the sense of being new whilst still feeling achingly familiar, leading one critic to call his lyrics. His new album "Flick The Vs" was released in April this year on the Domino label.
