"Can't Snorkel - legendary Albanian Barbers Shop Trio Can't Snorkel were first formed in the fair cathedral city of St. Albans in the final days of the 20th century. Fusing heartfelt tales of gritty urban realism with soaring vocal harmonies, a variety of percussion and a bass guitar that sounds like a chicken being plucked, they're certainly the most original band you'll hear this year. Despite attacks by drunken irish hecklers, excommunication by both of The Proclaimers, and their CD landing on John Peel's desk just one week too late, this is a rare gig from possibly the most under-rated musical phenonomenon of the last ten years."

Eric Ness is a Norwegian Singer/Songwriter residing in the heart of Camden, London. He has spent this past year developing his sound - best described as Glam Jazz - and completely revamping his entire band with the addition of 2 glorious female back-up singers, a Canadian mandolin player and a brand new guitar/back-up singer. His new sound has received incredibly positive reviews from the likes of The London Word, Gig Junkie, Glasswerk and RawMg Magazine. What sets Eric Ness apart from the rest is his impressive live performance and his delightful lyrics. His latest EP is packed full of heart and soul with indie-style guitar strums intermingled with trumpets, pianos and harmonised vocals to create a totally unique stripped down sound. What is a live performance by Eric Ness like? I think The London Word said it best: “Eric Ness and his band appeared on stage and turned the flavourless atmosphere on its head with an injection of raw, unadulterated fun".
