This accordion-wielding, mariachi-loving, instrument-swapping act soundtracked last summer when everyone went gypsy, and is proving to be unmissable live.

From New Mexico, USA, A Hawk And A Hacksaw is a hugely joyous and bewitching act who manages to meld traditional middle eastern with American folk and 21st Century atmospherics.

 Non-traditional world music for the digital age.

"Superb..Darkness at Noon. displays an astonishingly diverse array of musical voices. Barnes's project boldly proposes a new art music for the
21st century."
The Irish Times

They’re only playing big festivals and very select one-off shows this summer so make sure you don’t miss out.

Jonquil

Jonquil is/are an Oxford bedroom recording project turned band, centered around Hugo Manuel. 

Their debut album, ‘Sunny Casinos’, released on 26th June 2006 on Try Harder records, and started with a desire to use acoustic instruments. Influenced by the likes of Joan Baez, The Microphones, Akron/Family, Swans and Stars Of The Lid, Hugo spent a year collecting melodicas, reed organs, glockenspiels, dulcimers, whistles…

The result is a late night listening album of beautiful & engrossing dark gentle songs, dense summer drones, fairground field recordings and creeped-out dusty attic music. 

They are at once fizzing & clattering & wheezy… and slowly blossoming & twinkling & gossamer-like. Think Animal Collective at their most sun-dappled, Hood at their most intimate and some stumbled-upon eerie eastern European folk
