The brainchild of finger-style guitar genius and singer-songwriter Sam Carter and folk revolutionary Jim Moray, False Lights were commissioned by and debuted at FolkEast, Suffolk in the summer of 2014 playing the headline slot. A shared love of folk and heavy guitar music, and a week of intensive writing in a log cabin in Lincolnshire produced a moshpit-inducing, ear-ringingly dynamic, blast of in-your-face indie attitude in the name of folk. Make no mistake, the False Lights sound has more to do with Radiohead than Steeleye Span; it is an explosion of loud, electric, guitar-driven folk for the 21st century.

Based on folklore but full of modern kick, the Keston Cobblers Club was formed in 2009 by siblings Matthew and Julia Lowe, who gathered school friends to revive the legacy of the old struggling Cobbler of Keston and his foot-stamping, shoe-scuffing music club. With beautiful harmonies, an oom-pah tuba line and a mish-mash of accordion, guitar, banjo, piano, harmonica and mandolin, the Cobblers make music that will make you dance until your shoes wear out.
