Lúnasa are Seán (fiddle/whistle), Kevin (flute/whistle/bodhran), Trevor (bass), Cillian (pipes/low whistle) and Paul (guitar). Their inventive arrangements and bass-driven grooves have taken Irish acoustic music into surprising new territory, going right to the heart of its rhythms.

| Jesca Hoop + Mabel Blue | ||
| Jesca is a rising star, singer-songwriter-guitarist from Northern California, performing music across many differing genres. Tom Waits, who once employed her as a nanny, said “her music is like going swimming in a lake at night”. Sweet and off-kilter, as rich in imagination as observation. She can seem at once rustic and cosmopolitan, as she draws on everything from chamber music to murder ballads to artists such as Björk. |

| £5 / £7 | ||
| Rodney Branigan + Dan Gallegher | ||
| One man. Two guitars. “One of the most amazing artists you will ever see. Not simply because he’s unique, but rather because he’s impossibly talented.” (Bernard Baur). Texas-born guitar virtuoso Rodney Branigan is famous for his ability to play two guitars simultaneously, and it is a great trick. He is also a fine singer-songwriter and interpreter of other people’s songs. His acclaimed live performances bring wizardry and humour, quirkiness and tenderness – evenings of superb entertainment. Rodney Branigan is currently endorsing Yamaha Acoustic Guitars. |

| Purveyors of “soul-fueled, dub-induced, reggae for the people”, Pama International are the UK’s leading dub collective, brewing up a unique blend of 60’s soul and 70’s reggae with a 21st century commentary. They bring “funk, soul and dub to near perfection” (Craig Charles). For this Outernational tour, their line-up includes Finny – vocals (The Loafers, Special Beat), Dredy – drums (African Head Charge, Gregory Isaacs), Andi McLean – bass (U Roy, Frankie Paul), Lenny Bignell – guitar (Lord Large), Sean Flowerdew – keys (The Loafers, Special Beat) and at the controls Marcos Ferrari (The Specials, Easy Star All-stars).

| Into the Valley | ||
| Hebden Bridge’s superclub returns, at the frontline of dance culture via flat caps and whippets, with a crew from over the Lancashire border to shake Hebden to its valley roots. Demdike Stare, named after Pendle's most famous witch, is the new occult project from Miles Whittaker (Modern Love's DJ MLZ, Pendle Coven) and Sean Canty (the Haxan events, Finders Keepers), both obsessive vinyl collectors at the heart of Manchester's music scene. This incredible project follows the sonic ley lines of cult soundtracks, classic House templates, punctured dub and modified techno with a proper Lancastrian twist, into asymmetric and non-conventional music that defies categorisation. With resident DJs: local hero Chris Price and superhero-in-decline Flash Atkins. Special price tickets £5 for advance bookings and on the night before 10pm. The last few Into the Valleys have been lock outs, so book your tickets in advance to save money and ensure you get in. |
