Brighton-based label Fat Cat returns for these specially produced Festival concerts in association with The Great Escape.
Heading up Friday night's line-up is British chanteuse Vashti Bunyan, celebrating the recent re-release of her early pop material including her 1965 debut single penned by Jagger and Richards. North Dakota's golden-voiced folk-roots troubadour Tom Brosseau; the lush acoustic textures of Andy Cabic's uber-cool Vetiver and German composer Haushka, whose disruptive 'piano interventions' bring to mind the rhythmic sounds of Steve Reich and John Cage.
Saturday night sees New York's cult singer-songwriter Nina Nastasia (pictured) headlining another dream roster with her spectral Americana and smouldering vocal intensity. Also featuring the skewed anthemic rock of Glasgow's accordiontoting The Twilight Sad; and the multilayered organic hooks of Norwegian multi-instrumentalist/singer Silje Nes, plus Glasgow's exuberant post-punk Indie rock trio Frightened Rabbit.
Fri 16 May: Vashti Bunyan, Vetiver, Hauschka, Tom Brosseau Sat 17th May: Nina Nastasia, The Twilight Sad, Frightened Rabbit, Silje Nes 16 May 2008 to 17 May 2008 at 8pm (doors 7.30pm)
