THE PETERS PROJECTION
Electro-acoustic duo, London born brothers Grice Peters (GRICE) and Jim Peters (Invisible Opera Company of Tibet) mark their vocal reunion after several years with a new outfit ‘The Peters Projection’.
Previously known as The Burning Martyrs, The Martyrs and Swanston, they have gigged extensively and have impressed audiences with the signature sound of their ‘blood harmonies’ which exude emotional power mixing a Beatle-esque/CSN sweetness with a left-field John Martyn sonic intensity.
The Peters Projection will be joined by harmony brother Dave Costello to perform original songs written over the past 20 years as well as some obscure covers and hidden gems from the back catalogue.
“Music of exquisite beauty” Tom Robinson – BBC Radio 6 Music
SIOBHAN McCRUDDEN
Described as ‘a singer who is gifted with one of the finest voices in contemporary UK folk music’, Siobhan crafts songs of intensity and sweetness, recounting personal stories whilst reflecting a vivid fascination with dark folk tales and superstitions from her debut album ‘Icarus Girl’ and new material. Her first single ‘The Mermaid in Your Glass’, was on the top 10 Fresh Favs on BBC Radio 6 Music.

MAZ McNAMARA
Maz McNamara’s pensive original songs emerge from the undergrowth and waysides of her life as a travelling musician and circus performer. Striking lyricism, full of dreamlike imagery, journeys between the wistfully melancholic and the quietly hopeful. Her first solo set in Exeter in over a decade will bring together songs she has written over the last few years, as well as some of her dark and earthy arrangements of trad folk songs.
