Holy Moly and the Crackers, a Newcastle folk-indie outfit, signed to Northern Lights Music in January 2012. After only a year of playing concerts in and around Newcastle the band are already making a name for themselves: chosen personally by pop festival heavy weight Vince Powers, they were announced as winners of a national competition – organised by promoters Supajam – to play the main Bread and Roses stage at Hopfarm Festival (headlining – Bob Dylan, Patti Smith, Ray Davis etc.) where they drew in the crowds and the accolades.
