CHERRY GHOST

"the Tindersticks of their era... It's a marvelous piece of work..." 4 **** review Independent

In support of the critically heralded new album 'Beneath This Burning Shoreline', Cherry Ghost are to embark on a headline tour this autumn which encompasses dates across the UK. As well as releasing a new single, 'Black Fang' on August 23rd, the band have appeared at key festivals this summer, as well as touring with Doves and The Coral. This string of shows in the fall however will be their largest to date.

The new album unveils a band who have further crafted a rich and distinctive sound, still founded on lyrical poeticism yet more refined and assured. This stirring and expansive new material slots seamlessly alongside their previous body of work, 'Thirst For Romance', and with such a strong catalogue of music the band should prove unmissable.

"...beautiful songs about real life..." 4 **** review, Q

"For the ghost, bigger is better." Pick Of The Month, Word

"Cherry Ghost are... exceptionally good arrangers of strings, guitar and thrumming synths into gorgeous symphonic-pop." 4 **** review, Guardian Film & Music

SMOKE FAIRIES

At school in rural England during the mid-late'90s, best mates Katherine Blamire and Jessica Davies hoped they'd one day escape their home town and dive headlong into the landscape and myth of America, the promised land of their dreams. Little did they know that by 2010, they'd have lived in New Orleans and Vancouver, recorded with 21st century icon Jack White and toured across continents. And now they're releasing a debut album that fulfils the promise of their earlier singles.

"Through Low Light And Trees" is an exquisitely shivery blend of alternative folk-rock and a more humid, bluesy brand of Americana, a sound both eerily ancient and thrillingly modern, with beautifully interlocking harmonies and guitar parts behind the spectral melodies. "Instead of learning how to sing or play individually in a conventional way, we've learnt by bouncing off each other, and fitting in with each other," says Katherine. "It's a connection we wouldn't have found anywhere else."

That connection began in the school choir, and deepened by picking up their parents' guitars and obsessing over Jessica's mum's vinyl albums collection, dominated by American '70s classics: "The first time I heard Crosby, Stills, Nash & Young, when those harmonies kicked in, there was nothing else like it," Katherine grins. "Those old records sounded so otherworldly." A year spent in New Orleans in 2002 also helped shape their sound which evolved even further when, back in England, they discovered more British folk at the Sidmouth Folk Festival. "Sometimes the way you find out who you are is by first leaving it behind," says Jessica.

With their band name in place - Smoke Fairies alludes to the summer mist that collects in the hedgerows of Sussex's narrow country lanes - the duo started gigging. But restless and adventurous, the pair moved again, this time to Vancouver, drawn by the mountains and sea. Flitting between jobs and short on money, their year in Canada was, "an intense experience," says Katherine. "But a lot of our songs came from that time. You have to let the mayhem out somehow."

None other than Jack White was early to respond to their music, when he heard one of their self-released singles and offered to produce a track for his Third Man label at his Nashville studio. Recorded in just 36 hours, with White on drums (and "mad guitar solo" on 'River Song') and his Raconteurs / Dead Weather pal Jack Lawrence on bass, 'Gastown'/ 'River Song' was released in December 2009.

After another spell of writing last winter the Fairies headed for Sawmills studio in rural Cornwall in the Spring to start work on their debut album with producer Head (best known for his work with PJ Harvey) and their current live band.

Smoke Fairies' own fairytale continues to unfold. Having toured with Richard Hawley across Britain late last year and then being heralded as one of the bands to see at this years SXSW festival, they then headed off to the states to support Laura Marling for a month and recently released Ghosts: A Compilation of A-Sides, B-Sides and an EP from the Recent Past exclusively for the US market. Most recently Jessica and Katherine added supernatural, angelic backing vocals to Richard Hawley's current EP False Lights From The Land. When the calibre of White and Hawley are entranced, you know this isn't fairy-tale, but the absolute truth.

Smoke Fairies have already been the subject of much acclaim.....

THE WHO CONVENTION

For nearly twenty years, fans of The Who have been gathering at conventions to celebrate the work of Messrs Townshend, Daltrey, Entwistle and Moon, and to raise money for some great causes. The 2010 convention is specially medicated to do just that; make your pits flit and turn you into a beast of a man!

This year we are offering a two day event, starting with warm up events in Kilburn on Saturday October 2nd, followed by the main event at Dingwalls in Camden Market on Sunday October 3rd. We hope to announce full line up details very soon.

Expect rock operas, films, memorabilia, auctions and some very special guests as part of this convention. The proceeds will be split between the Teenage Cancer Trust and the Meg Fox Educational Trust Fund set up to benefit our dear late friend's children.

Our brief for this convention is simple. We want you to have a great time by celebrating as much of the Who's vast body of work as we can possibly fit in, and to make whatever difference we can to these worthwhile causes!

We hope to see you in London over October 2nd and 3rd. Until then, Long Live Rock!
