Frank Turner and the Sleeping Souls
Frank Turner, a singer-songwriter from Winchester, will be headlining with his band, The Sleeping Souls. His most recent album, England Keep My Bones, hit number 12 in the UK album charts last year. The record is his fourth studio album, following 2007’s Sleep is for the Week, 2008’s Love, Ire and Song and 2009’s Poetry of the Deed.
Frank is former frontman of post-hardcore group Million Dead, who split in 2005. Despite an obvious move towards the folk genre, much of Frank’s solo work still displays his punk sensibilities.
Seth Lakeman
After chatting to Seth recently he said how happy he was feeling with his new record Tales From The Barrel House on his own label. He said "I feel like the sound, songs and stories we're created are more suited to the way I like it.
It's an unusual record , recorded in an old heritage centre. I chose to record it with one microphone in a workshop. I wrote all the songs before I went along and just looked around for the right space acoustically. I actually recorded one of the songs down a mine which was cool, I enjoyed doing that.The production sounds raw and edgy. It's bleak but that was the idea I was going for."
