Susie Minnear
hopeful, heartfelt folk
Natalie Mason
Natalie’s musical life began in the womb at classical concert, when her mother felt a kick during the climax of Shostakovich’s Fifth Symphony. As a baby she was weaned on strange sixties music, in a cradle rocked by her father’s foot as he practised the guitar. She writes intricate instrumentals and surreal songs about times in Birmingham and beyond, while playing as many instruments as she can get her hands on.
Atsuko Kamura (Kamura Obscura Solo)
Japanese agit-femme vocalist and electricist. Former member of Frank Chickens and Mizutama Shobodan (Polka Dot Fire Brigade). Voice-modulated improvisation and eco-surrealist chansons are weaved into the bizarre world of the experimental.
