GENTLEMAN STARKEY- 10:15pm
Gentleman Starkey strike a 50s vain, cinematic and filmic, evoking references to a Tarantino/Lynch or a Sergio Leone soundtrack. Tremolo guitar and vocals ranging from sweet-toned crooning to raw-powered howling, lyrically both macabre and tongue in cheek. With a contrasting 'dancehall' rhythm section which makes for an unusual mix of melodic intricacy, sparse and frenetic energy with danceable rhythms. In 2012 GS have supported Graham Coxon on tour and will be releasing their debut album, recorded with UNKLE producer Pablo Clements.

AUCTION FOR THE PROMISE CLUB- 9:30pm
Auction for the Promise Club were recently listed in the Marie Claire UK Playlist alongside Florence & The Machine and I Blame Coco, 2011 promises to be a big year for the unsigned and unmanaged band.

So go and catch them live in a small venue soon, while you still have the chance.' - Music News. 2010 saw Auction for the Promise Club support Paolo Nutini and Martha Wainwright at the Eden Sessions and also Reverend & The Makers.
