With this year’s Rock Oyster Festival under a week away we’ve been getting quite excited about some of the music acts who’ll be making an appearance.
Here are my picks for the weekend: the best five festival acts you’ve probably never heard of.
1. Slamboree
Headline act on Saturday night, this 10-piece live band blend Balkan pyro circus rave with a Smörgåsbord of circus performers, daredevils and entertainers. Nuts.
2. Smerins Anti-Social Club
If Dr Who met Bob Marley.
3. Martha Tilston
Sunday afternoon, 2pm – folk singer with a voice of liquid gold.
4. Extra Curricular
Future soul music blending rock and electronic music styles. The band play live instruments along-side electronics and vocals.
5. Professor Elemental
Chap-hop: makes you proud to be British. 1.8 million YouTube views can’t be wrong.
