Roy Moller + special guests

Esteemed Belle & Sebastian collaborator Moller blasts out the kind of joyful music to befit a sunny mid-summer festival. His debut album Speak When I'm Spoken To has been described as ?crammed full of punchy pop hooks decorated with backwards guitars and radio-friendly sitars? while Roy?s releases with The Company (featuring Stevie Jackson & Gary Thom) range from the stomping glam of Join The Dots to the jaunty country of Brother Love.

The Dirt
Alt-dark country duo, The Dirt are Scotlands best purveyors of dark, murder ballads. ?A Cash/Carter-Cash for the 21st century, they sing of doomed incestuous love, local serial killers and creative uses for human remains. The simplicity of the arrangements belies a complex interplay between their constituent elements . . . The Dirt's songs have clearly been compressed, cut and polished to perfection.? - Sean Welsh, live review for Is This Music

Martin McLauchlin"Glasgow based folk singer/songwriter"
