Nathalie Stern
|
|
Raised in Västerås, Sweden, Nathalie Stern grew up with a mixture of musical influences ranging from folk to punk rock and shared her schoolyard with Peter Morén and Björn Yttling from Peter, Bjorn and John. She later moved to Newcastle and began exploring the old folk songs she had sung at school and started writing material with a focus on vocals and harmonies, using a loop pedal to layer voice and guitar. Her exceptional sound and performances have created a buzz among gig goers and music aficionados alike.
Although Nathalie’s music may be categorised as folk, it also fuses elements of pop and blues. Her debut album, “Firetales” has been widely praised and NARC magazine described it as “...the most enchanting music I've heard for some time” ...“Her melodies sublime, her voice unique and her method mesmerising, I predict big things for her”.

Mammal Club
|
|
The main reason most self respecting people get into bands is because they think that something really obvious, something really good, isn’t being done. And that’s what Mammal Club have been doing since they formed in late 2009. Currently playing throughout the UK and working on an upcoming release with Everybody’s Stalking Records, Mammal Club are free of the idea of guilty pleasures or ironic posturing, solely aiming to make complex music sound simple in pursuit of melody. The band are: Wilson Astley (vocals, guitar, samples), Calum Howard (keyboards, samples), Adam Hiles (guitar) and Colin Liddle (drums).

Sharks Took The Rest
|
|
Beccy Owens’s remarkable voice is pure delight and the seven piece ensemble she has put together with Adam Kent is something special. Their debut outing as headliners at last year’s Journal Culture Awards was a great success and they should be even stronger once they hit the Seahouses Festival stage.
"I heard someone describe the Sharks experience as 'sublime bliss'. I'm not even going to try to better it." - The Journal
Make sure you experience this immaculate new line up, which combines the talents of celebrated North East songstress Beccy with the wide-screen dynamics of luscious strings, guitars, drums and electronic, for a performance of spine-tingling enchantment. With Rebecca Topping on cello; Ian ‘dodge’ Paterson on electric and double bass; Nick Pride on guitar; David Carnegie on drums and percussion; and Louise Taylor on viola.
