STARLESS AND BIBLE BLACK + NADINE KHOURI + MEN DIAMLER

Event information

LAWM celebrates three years (to the day) of diy music promotion in Lancaster, with this our 48th gig.

Ok, it was important to make this a special line up and this is act for act our best line up ever, a veritable friday night festival of the best in live music..so headlining are the brilliant STARLESS AND BIBLE BLACK, veterans of The Green Man Festival and signed to Locust records.

“This Manchester-based group is responsible for one of the year’s best folkie songs” New York Times

“…they draw upon any number of intertwined traditions simultaneously….. the group moves crisply through songs informed by Appalachian folk, downtempo jazz, Middle English pastoralism, and smoky continental balladry. Starless & Bible Black perform each of their stylistic shifts with an effortless agility, resulting in a collection that captivates primarily through its graceful, almost nonchalant simplicity.” Pitchfork

“Folk strains, art songs, and electronic atmospherics combine for a beguiling blend in the debut by this Manchester band.” Amazon.com

Then follows the return of two absolute LAWM loves NADINE KHOURI (if PJ Harvey & Ani Difranco had merged souls and spent their childhood in The Lebanon) and MEN DIAMLER (Elvis Presley meets spiritual banshee bluesman!). Both returning by popular demand...

Necessary eccentricity is provided by Manchester's Dr. BUTLER'S HATSTAND MEDICINE BAND, and local talent doesn't get any better than the solo work of PONIES.

None of this line up is to be missed...so please do arrive early.. Doors 8pm..
