HOLLY MACVE
A heavenly voice couched in spellbinding country & western ballads, with a devastating emotional delivery - we're delighted to have Holly Macve headline the opening night of The Winter Sprinter.
“Exquisite… Her voice echoes the Appalachian-tinged old-timers Patsy Cline and Kitty Wells, all framed by the pared-down boniness of Leonard Cohen, Johnny Cash and Gillian Welch.” MOJO
THE HANGING STARS
Blending folk pastoralism with swampy 60s Americana, The Hanging Stars sound like the missing link between the California desert sun and the grey skies of London Town. The Hanging Stars place themselves firmly as part of a long folk tradition encompassing European and North American influences – as a continuation rather than a pastiche of these styles.
”a hazy, desert-dream of a song, nicely sharpened with steely-eyed guitars, Mersey-laced harmonies and just a whiff of the Gun Club” Guardian"
PORTLAND BROTHERS
Steven Adams (The Broken Family Band) and Timothy Victor (The Folk Orchestra) first met in the summer of 2001, in the Portland Arms, Cambridge. The two became good friends, and TV went on to produce the first two Broken Family Band albums, as well as becoming an unofficial fifth member of the group. Portland Brothers sees them sharing songwriting and singing, consciously revisiting some of the influences that brought them together in the first place.
”very good indeed” Americana UK
