Event information

"DIY folk quintet FOUND treat their songs like scientific art experiments, throwing in glitches and the clunks of random household objects. Their excellent second LP has strong hints of the Beta Band and Tunng, but singer Ziggy Campbell's discount-whisky croon is unmistakable" Dazed and Confused

"They look like vagrants – but when it comes to ideas, they're one of the richest bands around. FOUND sound like a punch-up between Paolo Nutini and Captain Beefheart." News of the World

"Theirs is an ever-evolving musical voyage gliding somewhere between The Earliers' psychedelic pulse, Arab Strap's woozy wonder-pop and an explosion in an Indie vinyl pressing plant." Clash

Gareth Dickson
"From Glasgow, this beautiful music arrived in June 2005. A solo artist singing and playing acoustic guitar - sometimes effected, his songs slip between a beautifully sparse, emotive fragility (recalling Nick Drake, Bert Jansch, etc.) and denser instrumentals (recalling Eno or Labradford). Very cool stuff." Fatcat Records.

"Where Dickson excels is with his unique use of the guitar as a sound making body. A glorious object in which to explore rich landscapes, the drone in song, and acoustic ambience. This is beautiful music, music in the act of levitation, a ghostly presence; almost tangible but never within reach." Mark Harwood for Polymorphic Music
