Fiel Garvie

Based in Norwich, England, Fiel Garvie is one of the United Kingdom's most enigmatic and innovative pop music ensembles. After a previous collaboration in the acclaimed quartet Passing Clouds in the early 1990s (Protect Your Paper Ears EP, Creation's Happy Reel EP), Anne Reekie and Adam Green formed Fiel Garvie in 1996, along with Greg MacDermott and Jude Bugden. MacDermott had previously played with Jane Pow! in the 1990s (and currently also plays with the Japanese-pop / art-punk outfit Hyper Kinako).

Musicians are Jason Merculief (drums and percussion), Bill Patton (guitar, pedal steel, keys, backing vocals) and Matt Rosoff (bass). Their music is somewhat like Mojave 3, Cowboy Junkies, Portishead or Mazzy Star.

Beck Sian

Far away and not so long ago, in a land called Oz, there was a bright red-haired little girl who was different. Her favourite things were thunderstorms and dragonflies. Her favourite place was the haunted wood where she would sit and write her songs and poems. Her father was a flyer, her best friend was a tin whistle and her cousin was Kate Bush. Fate rubbed the influences together and suddenly there ignited a bright light - a truly inspired musician with her head planted firmly in the clouds and a poem clenched in each hand.
