Alasdair, from central Scotland and now based in Glasgow, is a highly unique and singular talent who has, since 2001, released many albums of traditional material and songs of his own. He is incredibly prolific and a keen collaborator with a thoroughly open and forward-thinking approach. His collaborative work has seen him recently team up with the Norwegian band Volvur. He has also recorded and performed as part of a trio with Amble Skuse and David McGuinness and for several years been a member of The Furrow Collective with Rachel Newton, Lucy Farrell, and Emily Portman. His songs contain dense wordplay and his voice and guitar style are completely distinctive and individual. His solo performances are spellbinding experiences!

Bird Radio (AKA Mikey Kirkpatrick) is a singer, flautist, and composer based in London. He experiments with songwriting, extended flute technique, live looping and performance in different ways, collaborating with a wide range of artists and texts - recently he has worked with setting poetry by Walter de la Mare, Ted Hughes (his most recent album CROW was released in June 2019) and London?s Soho poet Jeremy Reed, and collaborated with artists such as Pig7 (electronics and field recordings), Akinori Fujimoto (Japanese Taiko), Nawroz Oramari (Kurdish Folk), Mosaic Band (traditional Sufi Music), John Bently (poet, singer, book artist and performer) and Emmanuel Lorien (experimental improv, Max MSP and granular synthesis).?

Buckner Building are Naomi Graham and Fritha Jenkins. They lead your ears to places not always easily located. Using violin, recorders, vocals and field recordings they make music that has been described as ?unsettling alternative folk? ? shifting between fragments of recognised traditional songs and disruptive contemporary interventions. They are drawn to the macabre, the melancholic, the outsider, tales of madness, upset, and life on the periphery.

They have performed as a duo in venues and festivals across the UK since 2010 and have performed and toured internationally in their individual careers.

    • The purge of hard left members that were part of Corbyn's, Mcdonnel's and Lansmans momentum that purged the party of right wing and centrist members. That's politics. It's what Blair did to win, its what Starmer had to do to win. This country doesn't vote in extreme left or right governments. That's partly why Corbyn lost  We're pretty much a centrist bunch.  It doesn't make it false either. It's an opinion based on the voting patterns, demography and statistics. Can you explain then why former mining constituencies that despise the tories voted for them or abstained rather than vote for Corbyns Labour?  What is the truth then? But he never got elected!!! Why? He should have been binned off there and then. Why he was allowed to hang about is an outrage. I hold him party responsible for the shit show that we've had to endure since. 
    • Depends on what the Barista says doesnt it? There was no physical confrontation with the driver, OP thinks she is being targetted when she isnt. These guys work min wage under strict schedules so give them a break unless they damage your stuff
    • CPR Dave, attendance records are available on Southwark's website. Maggie Browning has attended 100% of meetings. Jon Hartley has attended 65%.
    • I do hope NOT, wouldn't trust Farage as far as I could throw him, Starmer & co.  He's backed by GB News which focus's predominantly on immigration while the BBC focus predominantly on the Israel - Gazza conflict.
