exciting and original bands of the decade.

atmosphere that rarely sees such accomplished

ing so harmoniously together. By exploring new
blends of Rock, pop, classical and folk music they

sions saw Herbie Flowers (Lou Reed, David
Bowie), Arthur Brown (God of Hellfire), Emma
Richardson (Band of Skulls), Blaine Harrison
(Mystery Jets) and The Unthanks join the band

comedy and otherworldly moods expand into
bigger orchestral arrangements; so don’t be sur-
prised if some of the special guests from the
sessions and others turn up on stage to promote
