Wed 1st Wednesday 1 February Knom Music presents TED BARNES + M Craft + Barbarosa - Doors 8.00, advance tickets £6 from WeGotTickets and TicketWeb Ted Barnes is a national treasure. He doesn't make loud in-your-face music, but beautifully intricate, mostly instrumental songs. Unlike the majority of contemporary instrumental music, Ted?s is rich in emotion - deeply personal and honest, in the same way as a record like ?Five Leaves Left? by Nick Drake, and in a way that you perhaps would not expect from an instrumental record. "Expertly crafted melancholia. A triumph." [4/5 Mojo] "Classical chamber pop to provide a heart-warming soundtrack to icy winter days." [4/5 Metro] "Achingly sad enough to make you wish Nick Drake was still around to sing on it." [4/5 Independent] On Sketchbook Records. Main support courtesy of M Craft, preparing to support on the King Creosote UK tour, and signed to the excellent 679 Recordings. Barbarossa is slowly creeping up on the new folk scene with beautiful songwriting and lush melodies. Recently signed to Fence Records, and currently recording debut album. More info at Knom Music.
