Alastair Gordon started performing original material on the Berlin open mic scene in his late teens. Since then, his voice has been shaped into a rich baritone through years of busking and a creative approach to guitar and harmonica have been shaped by adventurous listening habits. The clearest influences include John Martyn, Charlie Parr and The Felice Brothers. Lyrical content often tackles unconventional subject matter and reflects a life split between South Yorkshire and North Saxony.

"Rich baritone and creative musical approach" Narc Magazine
"Off kilter quirky baritone - that's a very difficult style to pull off. Alastair absolutely nails it." Christian Carlisle, BBC Sheffield.
Bethan Robinson
A rare solo performance from Bethan Robinson, the creative force behind Sheffield's favorite garage-pop band Bean Weevil. Before going electric she cut her teeth on the folk circuit, both as a solo artist and as part of Jupiter in Jars (unfortunately on indefinite hiatus). Expect obscure yet relatable lyrics and a unique aptitude for open tuned guitar.
