MUSIC DOUBLE BILL: Edgelarks + Samantics

A daytime music gig for all the family.

The Artists

Samantics

SAMANTICS is a one-man machine of honesty, energy, words and noise. Using lyrics to portray his own unique vision of the world we’re all wandering, he speaks and screams from the centre of his erratic heart. Using a trolley full of sounds, ukulele, bass, beats, piano, harmonies, blips and bloops and wobbly wobbs, all brought together with loop station and sampler to create a hot pot of powerful, noisy poetry. It’s not quite hip-hop, but it’s not quite not. He’s been described as ‘impossible to stop watching’ and ‘mesmerising’ when he’s performing. Whether a festival tent filled with thousands, or a man and his dog in the local boozer, the live show is always the same: off. the. chain.

Edgelarks

BBC Folk Award winners EDGELARKS (Phillip Henry and Hannah Martin) started their musical partnership deep in the Devon countryside, but soon looked beyond the westcountry to combine British folk roots with diverse influences from blues to Indian ragas. They have toured from Canada to South Africa, Australia to Japan. Their work has included collaborations with Salt Path author Raynor Winn; playing as part of the Gigspanner Big Band; and shows with the likes of Show Of Hands and Seth Lakeman. Soulful songwriting, fiddle and banjo meets dobro virtuosity and party-starting beatbox harmonica, producing a sound like no other. With 15 years on the road, seven albums, and two children under their belts, they are really looking forward to a hometown gig which their daughters Rosa (4) and Joni (1) can attend and lead the dancing!
