High energy, unhinged, and musically extravagant, taking traditional acoustic idioms and delivering with punk abandonment and virtuosic flare. A dynamic three piece offering a unique sound emerging from Celtic, Gypsy Swing, Roma and Flamenco and tuned in savvy.

Wrapping pan european traditional acoustic music with infectious grooves, epic, pounding, sing along, punch the air anthems to intricately arranged instrumentals. 

Challenging the limitations of what people might expect acoustic instruments to sound like, the use of bowed harmonics between fiddle and bass can be as menacing and eerie as it can be psychedelic and mesmerising. 

Percussion provided by the front man Langan, whilst singing and driving the rythm guitar, he somehow co-ordinates the operating of a cajon and a tambourine with his feet bringing the driving, swinging groove of the rhythm guitar together with his foot percussion resulting in an impressively tight band sound with a tempo that is free to go anywhere. 

Add scorching hot fiddle lines and a guy thumping the groove out a double bass. 

If you're not dancing like a professional ostrich you get a refund.

Ale Shores is an exciting new Edinburgh based metal band pushing the boundaries of modern thrash. Music comprised of a solid core of old school thrash is injected with the new life of various other metal sub-genres. Lyrical content ranges from a harsh critic of today's society, showing frustration towards social inequality, corruption, religious fanaticism and the morbid pop culture of today; to personal struggles of life and loss. Their first release (a 3 track demo EP, recorded August 2012, supported by Creative Scotland’s CashBack for Creativity Programme) has already made a strong impression upon music lovers both locally and around the globe. Not satisfied with the acclaim they have already procured, Ale Shores shows no sign of slowing their progression and have recently released a second demo: Acts Of Hate (Vol.1). In conjunction with the release of this second demo Ale Shores appeared in the New & Unsigned feature in the July 2013 issue of FRONT Magazine. Having recently played a string of extremely successful gigs (including shows supporting touring bands such as Doomdogs, Fathoms and Insision) the band look forward to blowing more audiences away in the future with their high tempo live show.

Ivory Heroes Biography 

The word on the street is that there's a new gang in town. These "heroes" are not your ordinary bunch of world saving supernatural characters, but a band of heroes wielding their power through their very mad, bonkers and "out of this world" performance! They are the Ivory Heroes and they're here to rock!

This 4 piece band will bring you a contemporary blend of styles with their music. From rock to funk, from the streets to the club, this band is a truly accurate representation of the wonderfully diverse city they all live in and love so much - London!

But this band is much bigger than it appears. It is a gang of music lovers, party goers, a collective of heroes where everybody is welcome. And in this band, the most important hero is you!
