Appearing:
Skinny Lister
Skinny Lister come from the same stable as Emmy The Great, RDA and Slow Club, sounding like The Pogues' rum fuelled English cousin. From day one, Skinny Lister set out to cause chaos and make friends, travelling to the four corners of the globe plying their unique rum-soaked blend of English folk and punk rock anarchy. Wherever they play, you'll hear their lusty shanties, punk folk roar-alongs and crazed whirls about love, fighting and hardcore drinking. You’ll find them out dancing with the crowd, passing around their flagon of rum or crowd-surfing to the bar to neck shots mid-song. Make no bones about it, Skinny Lister are the wildest party band you’ll ever get drunk with. And you will get drunk with them!

Goodbye Mr Mackenzie
Goodbye Mr Mackenzie were a Scottish 1980s and 1990s rock group formed in Bathgate, near Edinburgh. At the band's commercial peak, the line-up consisted of Martin Metcalfe on vocals, John Duncan on guitar, Fin Wilson on bass guitar, Shirley Manson and Rona Scobie on keyboards and backing vocals, and Derek Kelly on drums. The band came to prominence in the late 1980s after releasing two independent label singles, then were signed to Capitol Records. They charted in the UK with their debut album, 'Good Deeds and Dirty Rags', and single release 'The Rattler', but the band were hindered by record company conflicts and failed to break through outside the UK. They split up in 1993, leaving Manson, Metcalfe, Wilson and Kelly to form Angelfish and continue recording music. Manson left for Garbage in 1994, and Goodbye Mr Mackenzie played their final live show at the end of 1995. But in 2019 they announced a reunion with a handful of live dates.
