*** CALLUM EASTER ***
“An idiosynchratic talent, a different kind of torch singer' – THE SCOTSMAN
Callum Easter's dark poetic vision find its most compelling form yet on Here Or Nowhere - a sparse, stark, deeply personal and by turns hopeful, menacing and despairing clutch of intuitively retro-futuristic songs united, as he explains, by "a feeling that the world is fucked up and a belief that people can fix it together."
*** RACHEL SERMANNI & LOUIS ABBOTT (ADMIRAL FALLOW) ***
Rachel Sermanni is a Scottish folk singer. Chosen as a Herald ‘Star of 2012’, she subsequently went on to support Mumford and Sons, Elvis Costello and Rumer.
Louis Abbot is a founder member of Admiral Fallow, which has recorded three albums and toured with Belle and Sebastian, King Creosote, Paolo Nutini and Snow Patrol.
