Following the success of their album "Everybody Is Somebody" in 2022, "Live at The Moth Club" is a celebration of the band's legendary live performances around the world that span 30 years. Recorded at London's Moth Club at the end of their 2022 UK Tour, the album features tracks released on Warp Records and Lo Recordings over the years. The album demonstrates the band's ability to constantly rework and update classic and new tracks, keeping them impassioned, experimental and relevant.

Baskery

Portland Arms · Cambridge

In association with Cambridge Folk Festival The queens of banjopunk, three Swedish sisters by the name of Baskery, who've played music since they were old enough to hold an instrument. Baskery play a combination of classic 'roots music and Americana' with a twist of rule breaking punk turn this much loved style of music on it's head. Their sound oozes style and playfulness and has helped them accrue a number of plaudits and accolades. The first album, "Fall Among Thieves" (2008) was recorded in Stockholm, co-produced by Lasse Mårtén (Pink; Peter, Bjorn and John; Kelly Clarkson; Lykke Li; Primal Scream ). It quickly established them as an act that people took seriously. In the years that followed they've released several albums and EPs working with the likes of Blackpete (Depeche Mode; Joe Jackson; Peter Fox), Matt Wignall (Cold War Kids; J. Roddy Walston; Wargirl) and were also signed by Dan McCarroll (President and A&R) to Warner Music.

Trash Kit

Portland Arms · Cambridge

TRASH KIT are Ray Aggs (guitar, vocals), Rachel Horwood (drums, vocals) and Clémentine March (bass). Three deeply creative individuals united by a shared musicality that surges through their bodies, hearts and heads. Their songs, once succinct, patchwork post-punk numbers of an honest diary-like nature now tussle more with long-form songwriting, expeditious polyphony and cascades of sung-spoke vocals. Songs on their last album Horizon (2019) have had their very fabric stretched into smart new shapes, allowing the band to run away with refrains and unlock the dancefloor. Although Trash Kit have their forebears in bands like Sleater Kinney, The Ex and The Raincoats, their sound is still very much their own take on facing forwards and relies as much on the naturalism of an internalised folk music as on their sincerity of vision. 2026 marks a new reinvigorated era for the band as they are joined by bassist Clémentine March. Breathing fresh life into their back catalogue on stage and jumping head first into sharing new material live, her spirited and responsive playing is once again steering the trio into new, expansive territory. They can’t wait to get back on the road to light up...

Ceitidh Mac

Green Note · London

Ceitidh Mac (pronounced “Katie”, spelled the Gaelic way – think ceilidh with a T) is a Welsh-born, Tyneside-based alternative cellist/singer whose sound is original, absorbing & full of soul. Folk in her subtle observations of people & politics, jazz in her attention to groove & not sticking to the rules of songwriting. Ceitidh Mac makes cello/singing feel like its own genre. Think Arthur Russell who paved the way for cello/singing, Aldous Harding in the beauty of leaving the listener space to find their own meaning in the songs, think Joni Mitchell, alt.folk heroes This is the Kit, jazz political commentator Alabaster dePlume. People who carve their own sound world. Growing up in rural Pembrokeshire before moving to Newcastle-upon-Tyne, Ceitidh has worked with Sam Grant (Richard Dawson, Pigsx7) on all her recordings to date. They have built an exciting foundation to continue with a debut record.
