The three acts will be supported by an array of respected talent and emerging artists including The Beat, Public Service Broadcasting and the Unthanks. In 2012 Sinéad O’Connor released her 9th album, How About I Be Me (And You Be You)?, to critical acclaim. She performed on Later with Jools Holland on November 20th 2012 and was voted best performance of the series. Hawley’s latest album, Standing at the Sky’s Edge (2012), was shortlisted for 'Album Of The Year' for the prestigious Mercury Music Prize, and included in Best Albums 2012 polls for Q Magazine, Mojo, Uncut, NME, The Sun, and Shortlist. Taking the best of post-punk, new wave, and pop as inspiration, Sunderland's The Futureheads are amongst the best of the UK's 'angular' movement. The Futureheads have an impressive catalogue across five albums from the explosive The Futureheads (2004); to their latest offering, the Artrocker award-nominated Rant (2012). The exciting festival line up from organisers, The Met in Bury, continues to build the event’s reputation in attracting national talent and showcasing up and coming artists to a growing loyal and appreciative regional audience. This year also sees The Met joining forces with The Bridgewater Hall to bring a wider audience of musical tourists to this boutique music festival in Greater Manchester’s countryside. David Agnew, Director of The Met and Ramsbottom Festival comments, "We’re really proud that this young festival has found such a pace. With the support of local and regional partners Ramsbottom Festival follows The Met’s blueprint for engaging new audiences and bringing quality music and arts to the northwest region. Ramsbottom is a fantastic location and the programme this year offers an amazing range of live music we know will appeal to audiences from throughout Greater Manchester and Pennine Lancashire.” Nick Reed, Chief Executive of The Bridgewater Hall comments, “We are delighted to be working with The Met in presenting the Ramsbottom Festival: it is a truly unique event and one of Britain’s festival gems. The Bridgewater Hall is lucky to have an audience of very discerning music lovers and we hope to encourage them to take a musical break in Ramsbottom this September. Great music, fabulous food and drink and a stunning location mean that it will definitely be a weekend to remember.” Page 1 Rammy welcomed over 6,000 local visitors and festival tourists last year. Over 13,000 pints of the Rammy festival ale were supped last year supplied by local brewery Irwell Works. Headline acts in 2012 included the Inspiral Carpets, I Am Kloot, Leisure Society, Thea Gilmore and Roddy Frame.

  • Futureheads Announced As First Summer Ball Headliner | Nouse
    Nouse Web Archives Futureheads announced as first Summer Ball headliner Page 1 of 3 News Comment MUSE. Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Futureheads announced as first Summer Ball headliner By Harry Gallivan, Managing Director (2013/14) Wednesday 15 May 2013 The Futureheads YUSU have announced post-punk band The Futureheads as the first leading act for the 2013 Summer Ball at York Racecourse. Kallum Taylor, YUSU President, confirmed the act this afternoon. The Sunderland-born band has performed at prestigious venues such as Glastonbury in 2005 and the biggest open-air festival in Europe, Woodstock, with 300,000 people attending in 2009. Their latest 2012 album, Rant, marked a radical departure for the band. Featuring no musical instruments at all, it consisted entirely of a cappella covers, including covers of Black Eye Peas’ ‘Meet me Halfway’ and Kelis’ ‘Acapella’. In a 2011 interview, lead singer Barry Hyde said; “We were partly inspired by [80s a cappella group] The Flying Pickets. They were great singers but their tracks were a bit asexual sounding. We want this to be more rough.” The album was nominated for Artrocker’s ‘Album of the Year’ award in 2012, and was rated 8/10 by NME. In 2005, their cover of Kate Bush’s song, ‘Hounds of Love’, reached number 8 in the charts and was named best single by NME. The band has also accompanied The Foo Fighters and Snow Patrol during their stage sets. More announcements. including the biggest act of the night, will be announced in the coming weeks. The 2013 ball is expected to be an exciting event following on from last year’s headline acts, Feeder and Stooshe.

Politics Business Science Sport Roses Freshers Muse › Music › News Features Reviews Playlists The Futureheads, News and Tributes Thursday 4 May 2006 The difficult second album. So often a failure for many bands, but what of Sunderland’s finest? This offering takes a much darker tack than their self titled debut, echoing the punk rhythms and socially concious lyrics of The Clash and The Jam. They have also learned from the success of ‘Hounds of Love’, expanding on the successful backing harmonies throughout. Fans of the songs ‘A to B’ or ‘Hounds of Love’ may be disappointed here. Although ‘Favours for Favours’, ‘To the Sea’ and ‘Skip to the End’ are standout tracks, they don’t quite share the same anthemic resonance or catchiness. Several songs indicate a change in style without losing the distinctive Futureheads mark. This is most obvious in ‘Thursday’, which oddly echoes the intro to the Beach Boys’ classic ‘Wouldn’t it be Nice’. The bass driven ‘Burnt’ channels the Pixies’ loud/quiet sound in The Futureheads’ own unique way. Nonetheless, it doesn’t pulsate with raw passion in the same way as The Futureheads did and, although the new ideas are interesting, sometimes they fall short. The closing track ‘Face’ starts promisingly, ends abruptly and feels like an injustice, closing an unsatisfacory album in an unsatisfactory manner.

  • PM I Am Kloot 30.11.2012
    FKP Scorpio Konzertproduktionen GmbH Große Elbstr. 277 a · 22767 Hamburg Tel. (040) 853 88 888 · www.fkpscorpio.com PRESSEMITTEILUNG 30.11.2012 I Am Kloot im kommenden März auf Tour Im Januar kommenden Jahres veröffentlichen I Am Kloot ihr mit Spannung erwartetes neues Studioalbum „Let It All In“. Wie schon beim Vorgänger „Sky At Night“, der immerhin für den Mercury Preis nominiert war und den Preis der deutschen Schallplattenkritik erhalten hat, haben Guy Garvey und Craig Potter von Elbow die Produktion übernommen. Und wie schon bei allen Werken des Trios aus Manchester sticht die Qualität des Songwritings ganz besonders hervor. I Am Kloot ist wahrlich eine der hervorragenden klassischen britischen Bands unserer Zeit, die inzwischen mehr als eine Generation von Musikern geprägt hat. Gitarrist und Sänger John Bramwell, Bassist Peter Jobson und Schlagzeuger Andrew Hargreaves machen einfach, das muss man neidlos anerkennen, nur großartige Musik. Das exorbitante kreative Potential des Texters und Komponisten Bramwell setzen seine Mitspieler kongenial um. Dabei ist es egal, ob I Am Kloot in kleiner Besetzung spielen oder sich ein Orchester ins Studio holen: Stets bleibt es ihr typischer Sound. Das gilt auch für „Let It All In“: Vom bluesigen Opener „Bullets“ über das mystische „These Days Are Mine“ bis zur einfachen Eleganz von „Some Better Day“ strahlt das Werk von innen die tiefe lakonische Leidenschaft aus, die diese Band so sehr charakterisiert. Guy Garvey behauptet ja schon seit der ersten Platte von I Am Kloot (die er übrigens auch schon produziert hat), dass die Jungs vor allem eine so großartige Live-Band seien, dass man im Studio eigentlich nur den Aufnahmeknopf drücken müsse, schon sei die Platte fertig.
