After a forced two-year break, staff at Sound Knowledge announce the return of their special RSD Live event, which will take place on Sunday, 24 April.
The afternoon of music celebration will kick off at 1pm at the Royal Oak pub in Marlborough.
There will also be BBQ food and beer for members of the public to purchase.
A spokesperson for Sound Knowledge said: “We’ll be presenting an extended afternoon of great live music at The Royal Oak and we can reveal this year’s bumper crop!”
The line up for the live event is as follows:
- Emily Barker - The Australian singer-songwriter is said to be one of the most capped performers, with a string of acclaimed solo and collaborative projects to her name. Previously named Americana UK Artist of the Year, her 2020 album ‘A Dark Murmuration of Words’ received four-star reviews from Mojo and Uncut, while new album ‘Room 822’ was recorded entirely in quarantine in Australia with her partner Lukas Drinkwater.
- Reuben’s Daughters - the new sunny psych-pop project from Port Erin’s Reuben Myles Tyghe, whose debut album ‘Mami Wata’ is being released on French label Microcultures Records.
- Nick Harper - The inimitable Wiltshire bard’s latest album ‘Phantastes’ was a feat of mythological alt-folk. Nick will be playing tracks from Phantastes and other favourites from his storied career.
- Vertaal - Vertaal’s Ajit Gill & Theo Howarth share a love of groove & improvisation, forming musical ideas traversing spiritual nu-jazz, Dilla-esque hip-hop, broken beat & neo-soul. The band have supported the likes of Mark Giuliana and Richard Spaven and have been tipped as “ones to watch” by the venerable Jazz Re:Freshed.
- Carsick - The Salisbury four-piece’s punk energy has made them a hit on stages across the South West, while both of their early singles have been picked up by Radio 1 and 6 Music.
- Ann Liu Cannon - Formerly of the local parish, singer-songwriter Ann Liu is said to be already drawing crowds in the capital, and her debut EP was produced by the legendary Ethan Johns.
- Ed Witcomb - The local troubadour will be bringing his band for a pandemic-delayed set.
Members of the public can get a free event wristband from the Sound Knowledge store (109 High St, Marlborough SN8 1LT)
