Possibly the happiest girl on the planet, singer-songwriter Sarah and her band are a folk infused engine room with a touch of indie steam. Together they deliver cleverly crafted lyrics that smart with northern wit and tenderness. Her vocal delivery, combined with well honed melodies, make for a honey like sound with a touch of grit in all the right places. With the well received debut album 'Above the Parapet' under her belt, Sarah continues to make waves, with appearances at Secret Garden Party, Endorset, BBC unsigned, The Underbelly and Proud Galleries recently.
MY SAD CAPTAINS - 09.15PM

The quintet take the country-tinged American sounds of Sparklehorse and Wilco and lend them a sparkling, harmony-rich pop edge, touched with occasional fiery noise outbursts. Based in Camden, London, and named after a poem by Thom Gunn, My Sad Captains have been played on the radio by the great and the good - Steve Lamacq and Huw Stephens on BBC Radio 1; Gideon Coe on BBC 6Music; John Kennedy on XFM; Radcliffe and Maconie on BBC Radio Two; Nic Harcourt on KCRW’s influential Morning Becomes Eclectic show – while their lilo-tastic video for debut single “Bad Decisions” on Fortuna POP! made MTV2. Their catchy melodies and easy charm have quickly made them favourites on the London gig circuit, having sung their hearts out across town with the likes of Tilly and the Wall, Why?, Darren Hayman, The War on Drugs, Pete and the Pirates, Loney Dear, Get Cape Wear Cape Fly, and The Broken Family Band. Last year also saw their first festival appearance at End Of The Road. Their last single 'Great Expectations' features in the new indie film '1234' which premiered at this year's London Film Festival.
