Grace Lightman
Really pleased to have Grace Lightman join the party this year!
An artist who’s been on our radar for some time now...
An enigmatic performer with distinctive ‘sultry yet lazy Punk tone’ to her vocal - reminiscent of Blondie’s Debbie Harry, Clare Grogan (Altered Images) with perhaps a touch of Kate Bush? She has a stage presence which captures audiences with her dreamy but catchy off-kilter indie pop.
Originally from London, singer-songwriter Grace Lightman has immersed herself in Plymouth’s music scene since moving to the city in 2019. With various EP launches since, Grace is now celebrating 5 years of music making with her latest EP ‘Postcards from Another Planet’ to be launched this autumn.
Come take an eccentric ride into the unique and stylish Pop world of Grace Lightman....
Mik Artistik's Ego Trip
We are very excited to have legendary Glastonbury favourite Miks’s Artistik’s Ego Trip join us at the Fringe this summer.
An extraordinary artist indeed… “A 69-year-old man wearing a string vest and sun-hat plays air-guitar with what appears to be a crook lock. Backed by musicians bringing a beguiling blend of funk, punk, pop and rock and roll. It’s a thrilling alchemy of music, poetry, ramblings, and anarchy.”
It’s rare to see someone walking the tightrope between genius and insanity in front of you, but Mik Artistik makes a living out of it. At times it seems his balance may fail him, and for a fleeting moment he flirts on the cusp of madness, but always manages to pull himself back from the edge. Just.
Compelling, mesmeric, spellbinding…daft.
"Genuinely delightful, funny, frightening, and indefinable. Northern rock and roll stand-up comes close."
"Best live band I have seen all summer” Gideon Coe
Los Kamer
Los Kamer are a high energy party band from the Ixtapaluca and Chalco states of Mexico. (Our first Mexican band at the Fringe!)
Their music fuses jazz, swing, balkan and Latin rhythms that are sure to get McBuzz’s new barn bouncing!
These musical nomads have toured extensively in Mexico over the years and completed five European tours. The band are super excited to be heading back to the UK to play for us at the Fringe!
Get ready to dance. Lets get this party started!
Así que demos una cálida bienvenida a nuestros nuevos amigos venidos desde México: ¡Los Kamer!
