Flossie Malavialle

Born in the south of France, Flossie has lived in Darlington for some years and the resulting accent is a joy to behold. “Why is it funny when I say ‘dumped’ but not funny when you say it?” The fun and frivolity should not hide the fact that she is a great singer with a voice that has been described as being ‘as clear and tuneful as a lark’. Come for the clear voice, come for the Janis Joplin impressions, come to see a fantastic performer who will have you laughing one minute and crying the next.

Jamie Barnes

Barnes' strengths lie in simple, hooky, lo-fi bedroom pop gems. His delivery is beautifully understated and even optimistic as he sings poignant autumnal folk songs that recall failed attempts at unrealistic plans. Barnes confesses with candor that many of his influences are actually Silber-related (most notably Rivulets), though his songs seem closer to the subtle musings of Nick Drake, Secret Stars, or Field Mice than the sonic assaults of Small Life Form or Kobi.
