Event information

Jess Silk is a folk-punk singer-songwriter from the Black Country armed only with an increasingly sticker-covered acoustic guitar and a distinctive, gravelly voice, Jess plays to audiences up and down the UK and has shared stages with many well known names among the folk/punk scene. Over the past couple of years Jess has appeared at a number of festivals including Bearded Theory, Rebellion and Glastonbury where she shared a stage with Billy Bragg as part of his Radical Roundup on the Left Field stage.

Elsie MacDonald is a local folk-punk singer-songwriter writing protest songs and shopping lists while trying desperately to appease both their Uncle and Auntie Folk. Singing passionately intimate songs in an effort to make sense of this odd little world we find ourselves in.

The Apology Party is a girl from Edinburgh making songs with guitars and too many words in. Her songs revolve around poor decisions, unwise coping strategies and people just generally having a bad time of things. Maybe if she just cheered up a bit she'd be more fun at parties.
