Withered Hand

with support from St. Gregory Orange & The Mini Skips


Withered Hand

Lauded by Rolling Stone, MOJO and Jarvis Cocker, Withered Hand (Dan Willson) is a member of Scotland's infamous Fence Collective and his brilliant debut album, Good News, continues to win fans and crop up in unlikely places (Skins, MTV), while this year's Heart Heart EP further showcased Willson's knack for glorious, wry, ravaged alt-rock. Dan has toured widely both solo and with his band since 2009, both in UK and mainland Europe and USA.

Withered Hand is performing a few rare UK dates as a band to promote the release of a new limited edition 10inch vinyl EP entitled Inbetweens before heading out to Europe in October. He will also perform songs from an as yet untitled second album.

'Artist to Watch' (ROLLING STONE)

"Sometimes it takes one spellbinding live performance before an artist's seemingly obvious-to-everyone-else talent really sinks in. I've always appreciated Dan Willson's songcraft in a rather passive way, but I walked away from this Withered Hand solo show a fully subscribed fan - and I wasn't the only one." (The Scotsman)

"beautifully constructed lyrical frameworks" (MOJO)

St. Gregory Orange

Wakefield's St. Gregory Orange utilise field recordings, dense dream-like drone-scapes, spoken word, and noise-damaged electronic songcraft, creating music akin to Arab Strap at their blippy end of things. Having just released their fantastic second long-player 'Midnight at the Sycamore Lounge' the band have added an almost cinematic heap of dark humour to their sound, employed with clarity and intent, to propel narrative, or to ruminate.

The Mini Skips

Gentlefolkysmileyindiepop from two mainstays of the Sheffield indiepop scene. Vinnie and Markie's music is intimate whilst also battering your face with poignantly dark humour. Lovely stuff.
