PLAYLIST OF THE EVENT


LIVE STAGE

14:00 Him & Earl (Wah Wah 45s)
Singer-songwriter Olly Him and producer Wyndham Earl join forces as Him & Earl, blending soulful folk with rich, groove-led production. Drawing on deep roots in the UK’s south coast scene, the duo craft warm, expansive compositions shaped by songwriting and studio craft.

14:30 Graham Reynolds presents The Portcullis (Fire)
Drawing on dungeon-synth textures, medieval ambience and folklore, The Portcullis unfolds like a lost fantasy soundtrack – atmospheric, minimal and slightly out of time, exploring imagined worlds and personal lineage. “An ominous, stark environment that rumbles with sounds evocative of the natural world in both its beauty and despair” New York Times

15:00 Middle Name John (Slowfoot)
Blending rock, electronics and spoken word, Middle Name John crafts rhythmic, exploratory pieces that move between sharp social observation and introspection. Recent releases include the EP Is It the Bills? and debut album Obviously Confidential on Slowfoot Records.
