PORTICO QUARTET
Short listed for the Nationwide Mercury Music Prize 2008
‘Knee-Deep In The North Sea’ 2008 Nationwide Mercury Prize – an album of the year

Portico Quartet are four young musicians from South London who sound like nothing you’ve ever heard before. Living and playing together they describe their ethos as like an Indy band that plays post-jazz
“As traditionally hook based as anything from rock, to hip hop” The Guardian
\"Sound like nothing you\'ve ever heard” Time Out
“A phenomenon in the making” The Independent
“The darlings of the jazz/leftfield jazz scene” Big Chill website
“Number One Jazz, folk & world album of the year 2007” Time Out

THE DRAYTONES
…play songs the likes of which have not been heard since the rug-cutting glory days of Syd Barrett, Los Gatos Salvajes, The Kinks, Thee Milkshakes and many more. With a simple drums, bass and guitar setup they wish to play to anyone who will lend an ear, that they too may vibrate in the mind of the one true God whose name is love; grooving as one to the music of yore.

They played their 1st gig in March 2006 with The Hoosiers, followed by supports slots with The Strawbs, The Downliners Sect and The View.

Recently asked by Paul Weller to tour with him around the UK in May 2008.
