April 30th: .LightGarden
LightGarden began life as two musicians,David Moss and Masha Kaestner back in 2007.They stumbled upon guitarist Rob Colquhuon (and vice versa)in 2011 and suddenly discovered they were a three-piece.The igniting spark was a request to support two performances by Tibetan monks from the Tashi Lhunpo monastery,in October 2006.At these concerts,the combination of overtone chanting and church organ was born,which has touched audiences in a magical and unusual way ever since.Their music brings together many world influences along with classical training and their native folk/traditional roots in the music of UK,Ireland,Russia and Germany.Winners of a PRSF award for new and original music,LightGarden work from an intention to simply creat the music which they feel connects to heart and body and pretty much everything else.They have performed at a range of venues and festivals including the Edinburgh Fring,Rosslyn Chapel,Limetree Festival,York Fiesta,Glastonbury,Bath Fringe,and at Musicport Festival.

May 28th: Jackie & Felix Byrne
Well known to Wiltshire clubs, Jacqueline and Felix Byrne have made music together for the best part of a decade.They love performing but they hate the part where they have to write about themselves in a musical context and have compiled a list of adjectives and the like,that they feel should be banished from the musical lexicon,never to be employed to describe them.From Eclectic to Haunting from Awe Inspiring to Enchanting and all those in between.Inelegant as it may sound, Felix plays guitar pretty dammed well and his wife Jackie has a realy good voice.It's all in tune,and they don't get drunk and fall over or swear too much.The songs are a mix of home made standards as well as some great updated versions of traditional songs.There are some nice harmonies too.As if you didn't already know.See you there. x
