Gannets
For our Calmer* Christmas spectacular we thought you
deserved something very special and with the Gannets, that's
what you'll get.
Comprised of the Guillemot's frontman, Fyfe Dangerfield, and
the bands old brass section, Chris Cundy and Alex Ward,
you'll find a group Mercury nominated musicians playing at
their free-form best.
With Dominic Lash, double bass and Steve Noble,
tubthumping and drums, Gannets promise to make this a
Calmer* to remember.

AF Harrold
AF Harrold is an award winning performance poet with a yak
fixation - but this is a good thing.
Starting out on the Slam scene, AF has performed for radio
and television while working as poet in residence for the
Glastonbury Festival in 2008.
Comedic, insightful, elegant and altruistic are just some
of the words reviewers haven't yet used to describe the man.
AF Harrold - a man for all seasons (except summer, which is
a bit hot on the whole).
We love him and are sure you will too!
"This yak-poet is Spike Milligan and Peter Cook rolled
into one..." Daljit Nagra

Animal
Magic Tricks
Animal Magic Tricks
began two years ago when Frances Laura Donnelly fled London,
and her own crap art and poetry, to return to the seaside
town of Bournemouth, where she finally combined her
malformed disciplines in the joy of making noise.
Her musical training took place
under the strict regime of an elderly audience demanding
Vera Lynn and Billie Holiday in the old folk's home in where
she worked. She currently lives in Brighton which is lovely,
though the coastline is unspeakably better in Dorset.
"...a sublime voice and
tricks aplenty..." Rebekah Cane

Men Diamler
Men Diamler is a channel for old thyme ways - footstompin’ blues, two string serenades,
backwoods drinking hollers, horse play and pagan folk all
get exorcised.
Imagine Roy Orbison with a two punctured lungs and John
Fahey with a fractured hand? Well, he sounds better than
that.
Following his recent UK tour
and sessions on BBC radio, Men returns to Calmer* with a
handbag of new songs, strangeness and smiles.
"Men Diamler cannot be ignored. He looks a little
like electric-era Bob Dylan..." Fact Magazine
