2022's first instalment of our mulit stage event introducing you to the newest and hottest acts from Scotland and the North East, May's festival will be headlined by Hamish Hawk...... 

Rich of voice and even richer of imagination, the singer-songwriter from Edinburgh creates musical pen-portraits as vivid in lyric as they are in melody. In all the wholly best ways, these are chamber pop songs that have swallowed both a dictionary and a compendium of modern urban (and island) fairy tales. And, on Heavy Elevator, his first fully-formed album, this prolific artist presents a perfect ten tracks packed with characters, incident, emotion, geographical/artistic references and tunes to hang your coat on. Hawk does all this with considerable wit, inspired by artists like Leonard Cohen, Morrissey (the olden days version), Jarvis Cocker, Randy Newman, and Stephin Merritt of Magnetic Fields.

Also featuring Memes, Our Man in the Field, Connor Fyfe, Deadletter, Motherland, Church, Honey, Katie Doherty, SIsi, Elizabeth Liddle, Scott Wilson and more to be announced.
