Aurora Engine & Kirsty Law
On tour together for the first time: Aurora Engine from Co. Durham and Kirsty Law from the Borders are two songwriters both with a grasp on the ‘uncanny’. Both perform and write in their own respective dialects in ways rarely heard before. This music is a heady mix of acoustic and electric, telling stories that go straight to your heart and linger in your mind.
Aurora Engine has been likened to Kate Bush, Bjork and Sandy Denny whilst queer folksinger Kirsty Law draws on her background in traditional Scots song with influences that stretch from Sheila Stewart to Patti Smith.

Mango Lassie
Mango Lassie is a singer songwriter based in the Inner Hebrides on the West Coast of Scotland and is currently living on The Isle of Mull. Her debut EP ‘Cycles’ is a collection of 4 songs each of which was inspired by a cycle trip in one of four different locations around Scotland during one of the four seasons. Mango Lassie finds peace, comfort and inspiration in her beautifully wild surroundings which heavily influence her music. Her song writing tends to be story telling in nature; she hopes the use of vivid imagery conveyed in her lyrics combined with her playful melodies guide the listener into a state of relaxation that allows their mind to follow her on a journey as she explores the world by foot, bike and water.
