January Line Up
(click on each for more info)
Andy Quick Duo
Andy is an eclectic songwriter and laid back storyteller who has played countless festivals nationally and internationally with his projects Land Of The Giants (mashed up ska/rock/reggae) and The Andy Quick Band (retro alt funk/blues)
As a solo performer Andy hits the stage with a soaring voice, shimmering guitar, a thumping foot stomper and a lively bunch of anthems hand picked from 13 years of inspired songwriting with his festival bands.
For this show Andy will be joined by long term collaborator Josie Boucharde on guitar.
“Infectious music, spellbinding musicianship...a great night out” MNPR Magazine
"A soul punch of indie roots n blues. Exceptional pedigree! 10/10" Ireland's Unsigned & Independent
"...one of the finest front men we can boast in the South West....some of the best music we've heard this year. Watch out!" BBC Introducing in the South West.
Grace Lightman
Grace Lightman writes, produces and performs unique songs inspired by indie disco from the noughties and 70s glam pop and punk. Her most recent body of work 'Deliver Me From Even Caring' takes the listener on a journey through Grace's early twenties as she says goodbye to them. If Debbie Harry collaborated with the Strokes and Karen Carpenter was on the drums and Bowie at the production helm you *might* get something that sounds like Grace Lightman.
What are Soundwave Sessions?
