Patrick Jones
Acclaimed rock-beat poet with an impressive new album - Tongues For A
Stammering Time - on Anhrefn Records. It features contributions from
Billy Bragg (who he is touring with), James Dean Bradfield and his
brother Nicky Wire of Manic Street Preachers among a sterling line up
and is a soundtrack of twisted 21st century mirrored in beats. An
often quoted, inspiring playwright, author and film maker still not
afraid to be right on and full on, Patrick plays a words and music set
tonight.

Edit/Select
A young musical gang from art beat of London's lower east side - in
yer face newer wave pop charm and pro-active scene creation. Fresh out
of the traps, they're rather good" according to Xfm's John Kennedy and
have already played the legendary Astoria II in October. They find
themselves on the same bill as Motorhead, Happy Mondays etc at
Guilfest 2009 and in demand at creative gatherings like the 30,000
strong People's Day Festival. If it's about new music from promising
young upstarts Edit/Select have got big ideas and invite you to join
the campaign.

The Shills
Youthful post-punkers from East Spanglier with the spiky British charm
of home grown classic faves. Formed through frustration with a lot of
what passes as new music, this is their escape. Making a definite
impression from the get go, their attitude and energy won a release on
anti-establishment label R*E*P*E*A*T. and propelled them to the
attention of sussed industry. The Shills have been taken under the
wing of Manic Street Preachers/Anthony & The Johnsons/Tricky producer,
Roger Fife, and with Globalnet Records behind them, they're ready for
the next step.

The Heartbreakers, members of the Rock Chicks Institute who spin past,
present and future classics for bands, clubs and bashes from Pop Levi
and Classic Rock Magazine to being regular hosts of "the riotous
Rocklands scene" (Time Out)

Rocklands? Not just the rebellious virtual republic (Deptford/New
Cross) over the river from Docklands, more a mix of new music,
grassroots anti-scene, visual art and punky co-operating attitude on
an otherworldly mission that has created films, festivals, industry
and media by inviting involvement. Thanks to the 229, it hits Central
London next to Great Portland Street tube, ten minutes walk from both
Camden and Oxford Circus.
It's also a few steps to the 453 bus which runs to South London every
15 minutes. A 24 hour ride home 30 seconds from the door! ...And we
liked the bar prices as Music Tourist Board was living la vida credit
crunch all this decade! In the Planet Water style, whoever is here
tonight will play a part in the next chapter. It just happens that
way. Share the Joy.
