Candied Nonsense April 5, 2012

We relaunch our original acoustic and classical night with an array of interesting and rare musicians.

DIFFERENT CLOTH
A unique singer who captured everyone's attention at our festival in February. Combining jazz and blues in his music, his striking voice resonates in throughout the room and is akin to that of Nina Simone's and Anthony Hegarty.

ELLIE CORNELL
Female singer songwriter with grit. Having been signed to Out Of Bounds Records since we last saw her in 2010, Ellie has come a long way in developing her passionate music with heartfelt lyrics and soaring piano and guitar melodies.

GEORGES KAPLAN PRESENTS...
Another festival favourite. This genre-defying duo have honed their impressive classical and jazz skills on the piano and sax to produce a wide collection of re-imaginings of music including Radiohead and Led Zep, complete with ridiculous solos. One you'll never get bored of.

HALF FOR PLEASURE
A wonderful female trio who create harmonious acoustic music with a variety of instruments and voices. Featuring electronic goddess Mia Sonos: different instruments, same voice. If you missed them at the festival here's another chance to see them.

HALF TONNE SON
A singer songwriter who combines finger picking with beautifully crafted melodies. Honest and raw, with a hint of melancholy.

TEAM A VS TEAM B
Travelling from Manchester once again to be with us, this ever-adapting group fuse acoustic, rock and indie to produce timeless music on oboe, guitar, bass drums.

As usual, each act will play two sets.

The Wilmington Arms is right between King's Cross St Pancras, Farringdon, Angel and Russell Square tube stations.
