Fat Cat Nights, Theatre Royal Brighton, Fri May 16 and Sat May 17
4:22pm Friday 11th April 2008
From golden-voiced folk-roots troubador Tom Brosseau to the skewed anthemic rock of Glasgow's The Twilight Sad, Brighton record label Fat Cat showcases its customary eclecticism in these specially produced festival concerts.
Vashti Bunyan heads up Friday night's line-up following the recent re-release of her early pop material, along with the lush acoustic textures of Vetiver, Brosseau and German composer Haushka.
Saturday night sees cult New York singer-songwriter Nina Nastasia headlining, with The Twilight sad, Glaswegian post-punk indie rock trio Frightened Rabbit and Norwegian multi-instrumentalist and singer Silje Nes.
