STEPHEN EVENS
Post-punk, art-rock troubadour Stephen EvEns delivers his poetic beatnik style vignettes of life, infused with a joyful glint of glamour, crackling beats, swooping guitars and a huge dose of brilliantly composed skronk, as he muses on everyday happenings, all topped off with an eccentric and ironic slice of candour.New album Weekend At Bernie's 2 out next year, but contribute £10 to the tour via PayPal account Stephen EvEns Music and get the download absolutely free (but for £10).
“New wave poetics, dry, surreal and amusing, against music that matches cheap tech with post-punk skronk,’ The Arts Desk
‘A wonk fest glittered with a dirty glam sound that reminds me of Brix & The Extricated.’ LTW
‘A post-punk bovver-boy groove, heavy bass, and shrewdly astute lyrics,’ Harmonic Distortion

EMILY JONES
Emily Jones was originally woven from reeds in a salt marsh in Cornwall, but these days she lives high up on the chalk downs in Wiltshire. Most of her songs are about dust or bees.Currently she is working on a new project, putting some of the poems of E Nesbit to music - a cheery collection of songs about grief and love and longing.
"Particularly lovely romantic folk narratives with a dark-woods chill of pastoral melancholy" - MOJO
"Wistful and melancholic at times but always with a subtle warmth and gentleness, there is genuine sense of magic and wonder in these songs" - The Active Listener
