The sixth instalment of the all-day event sees some of the best emerging Scottish and Northern musicians celebrated
Always a special day, the sixth instalment of Songs From Northern Britain all-dayer sees Declan Welsh And The Decadent West headlining The Georgian Theatre stage on Saturday 20th November. The Glasgow-based musician and his band are masters of catchy indie rock sounds and bursting with energy.
Once again hosted by BBC Radio Scotland and BBC 6Music’s Vic Galloway, this musical showcase from promoters The Kids Are Solid Gold brings the best up and coming talent from the North East and Scotland to The Georgian Theatre. Three stages, a sprinkling of TKASG regulars and lots of new musical delights are waiting to be discovered.
Special guests on the Georgian Theatre stage include Somebody’s Child, an indie rock/pop band hailing from Dublin, with a singer whose powerful, passionate voice will make you sit up and listen; the catchy riffs and melodic guitar of indie band Savage Mansion, and local rock outfit Nice Guy, whose sound contrasts with the hard punk of Franky’s Evil Party.
On the Green Room stage enjoy performances from the beautiful nu-folk vibes of Lizzie Reid, dance-pop outfit VanIves, Teesside indie rock songwriter Finn Forster and the dreamy guitar pop of Hartlepool’s Leopard Rays.
In the Georgian’s bar, intimate sets come from singer-songwriter Jamie Farrell, the futuristic folk of Me Lost Me and talented folky songwriter HJM Bradshaw, with more still to be announced.
