PETE ROE
Pete Roe is a gifted singer/songwriter, best known as the pianist and guitarist in Mercury Award nominee Laura Marling’s band. Having toured with Marling several times, opened for Mumford & Sons too many times to remember and worked as guitar tech for the Maccabees, Roe is now stepping in to the limelight and releasing a solo EP through Communion Records in June, the label run by Kev from Cherbourg and Ben from Mumford & Sons.
His sound fuses the keen melodic ear and lyricism of his aforementioned friends with the guitar skills of Bert Jansch and John Martyn. His unique style sees complex melody, bass lines and percussive tapping simultaneously weaving in and out of each other and his soothing voice sits perfectly on top.

THE MOULETTES
The Moulettes are a folk-stomping barn-storming swingin’ quartet from the U.K consisting of cello, bassoon, guitar, drums, autoharp and 4 part harmony. Their influences are too many to name, and their style is difficult to pin down, but their music is unique, and ranges from the danceable and bright to the sinister and progressively darker.

TRISTRAM
Tristram are are four people from London playing seven (usually) instruments, and singing about a variety of subjects, including but not limited to: zombies, James Dean, assorted authors, love stories, love-going-wrong stories, ships, bicycles, astral travel and fruit. The effect is not as jocular as this description implies, but is never the less very agreeable. Their first e.p. “Someone Told Me A Poem” is out on the 22nd of february, 2010 on Oh, Invenrted World Music.
