8.30pm Shaene
Starting out as a bedroom recording project over lockdown, shaene has since evolved into a full band. Last year she offered her self-produced and self-recorded debut album - ‘time lost / time regained’, garnering acclaim from DIY, So Young, and BBC Introducing. Combining glittering keys, gritty guitars, and devastating emotional lyricism shaene projects a dynamic gentleness that sets her at a pioneering edge, embodying the rich history of her emo/shoegaze predecessors. Tackling issues of mental health, familial alienation and the trans experience, time lost / time regained finally settles on acceptance, recovery, and the choice to end the cycle.

9.15pm Green Gardens
Leeds' Green Gardens craft a soft and intricate indie-rock sound, valuing tenderness and extremities in equal measure. Taking inspiration from experimental guitar music from the last two decades and wading with that into the water left disturbed by the likes of Sparklehorse and Big Thief, Green Gardens show a more kind, sympathetic face of indie music.
Green Gardens' debut album 'This Is Not Your Fault' (released via Come Play With Me records in partnership with EMI North) was released to a positive critical reaction, selling out multiple shows on their corresponding UK tour as well as strong radio coverage from BBC 6Music. Notable playlisting for the record includes Spotify's Fresh Finds, Fresh Finds Folk, We are Leeds, The Neu Playlist (DIY), Hot New Bands and Melomania, as well as Apple Music's New in Alternative and New in Rock. Recorded in Greenmount Studios with Leeds heavyweights Jamie Lockhart (Mi Mye, The Cribs) and Rob Slater (Yard Act, Carpet, Crake) the band tracked much of the album live, giving it the carnality and immediacy that was required to carry you through the near-linear path through loss and guilt.
