After 30 years in the music business - and with a credit list longer than both your arms - Henry Priestman has finally made his debut as a solo act. He sold three million albums with The Christians and wrote all the songs on their 1987 triple-platinum debut, he shared a mic and a number one single with Paul McCartney, he played on sessions for Lightening Seeds, Johnny Marr, Ian McCulloch, Pete Wylie, Ian McNabb and Echo & The Bunnymen, and provided vocals on Jools Holland/Tom Jones' 2004 CD.
Henry recently played his debut solo gigs: in May he supported 10cc at London's 02 Arena and in July supported Jools Holland at the 10,000-seater Liverpool Echo Arena. He describes his new album, The Chronicles of Modern Life, as a collection of "scruffy pop songs of pith, wit and poignancy".
Lotte Mullan has had the Blues from a young age. Her rootsy songs are a captivating mix of soul, folk and country and tell stories of characters and experiences we know all too well. Weaving together the worlds of comedy and tragedy, Lotte hopes to raise a smile as well as pull on your heartstrings.
