more info on the bands:
Mariner's Children http://myspace.com/benedictdaniel
The Mariner's Children are a 7 piece alt. folk band that play densely textured, upbeat, heartfelt and intense folk music. Meshing the intricate guitar interplay of Pentangle with the barnstorming raucousness of Arcade Fire. They toured with Peggy Sue last WInter and are releasing their debut EP later this year.
Paperplain http://myspace.com/helenpaperplain
Paperplain is the alias of analogue-loving Helen Page. The delicately sweet and dreamy lo-fi folk single ‘11:30’ was released as part of the Too Pure Singles Club and a video containing the track clocked up over a million views on Youtube. In January she was listed as one of The Times' top ten acts to look out for in 2010.
‘Helen has one of those voices that feels like she’s singing to you personally, and she employs the eight-track to great effect. Her hushed tones and raw talent, hidden behind the hiss and clicks, results in endearingly honest music.’ - Vinyl Junky

The Tender Hips + Small Engine Repair + TBC
Doors: 8pm
Price: £6 / £5 with flyer
The Tender Hips are a London-based four piece with influences ranging from 60s garage to 90s alt-rock, via girl-groups and an array of dead and broken-hearted country singers. Their genre-bending approach to classic songwriting combines growling guitars with driving beats, soaring vocals and ghostly harmonies, and will make you tap your feet and examine your conscience.
Small Engine Repair play their own style of alternative lo-fi pop music and are currently appearing alongside Emmy the Great and Peter Bjorn & John on the Chris Coco compiled album 'Acoustic Chill.' They have recently worked with John Bundrick (The Who) and have been played on radio shows in the UK and Ibiza-ooooh!

The Lovely Eggs + Hexicon + Moustache Of Insanity + The Queens Head
8pm. £5.
Headliners The Lovely Eggs are a 2 piece band from Lancaster, United Kingdom. They consist of married couple Holly Ross and David Blackwell. Ross was formerly the lead singer and guitarist in the popular all girl band Angelica(now split). David Blackwell was guitarist in Lancaster drone band 3D Tanx, who performed at Tate Britain with artist Linder Sterling and also with Damo Suzuki (ex Can)
Hexicon Mike, Paul and Tom started Hexicon in 2004, beginning life as a lo-fi voice/guitar/french horn combo and have since grown into a five-headed monster with Greg and Andy as a drumming tag team, and Giles on bass.
Moustache of Insanity are a London based indiepop duo who make funny, dance-able pop tunes about whatever they like - from postcards to old cassette mix tapes. Committed to DIY ethic they began with, all their records are made by hand and self recorded.
The Queen's Head started as a whim of Mr.Speaker's, unhappy with his self-imposed 'ideas' of what was 'good'. But it quickly became much more than a mere giggle on the side of his other successful sonic behemoth - SubAudible Hum - and took on an earth-shattering importance second to none.

WILLIAM OWEN & THE LINE UP with special guests THE TOY BAND
Following a few years in singer/songwriter wilderness, William Owen started the year with a dream. To form a band. The dream quickly became a reality after recruiting Michael Lovatt (Drums/Trumpet) Hannah Trett (Bass/Vocals) and Natalie Smith (Vocals) They go by the name The Line-Up. The Wilmington gig will give them an opportunity to celebrate their coming together and put on a night to remember. There will be guests of the special variety and pigs wrapped in blankets.
The night will also see the triumphant return of The Toy Band to the east london live scene. Not content with one Lovatt banging the drums? Fear not, as Michael's younger brother Peter will be sharing the same skins for The Toy Band.
One night. One vision. Two Brothers.

The Fancy Dress Party + more TBC
Doors – 8.30pm
Price - £5 (includes a 7’’ copy of Fancy Dress Party debut release) limited hand numbered copies.
The Fancy Dress Party has stood out from their local Essex music scene since their inception.
On stage violins, Ukuleles and balalaika sit together with contemporary instruments to create a sound that falls on the right side sincerity.
Their first single ‘Grandfather’ begins sparsely and delicately and slowly creeps into lush tenderness that can be held close to the heart.
3 members are currently at University and the band reconvenes in the holidays to play a handful of packed shows around Essex and London.
There youngest member Tom is only just dong his GCSE’s.
Sweet Release Records is a brand new singles label that releases 200 hand numbered limited 7’’ vinyl with each offering (also available digitally).
The song ‘Grandfather’ was recorded at Abbey Road Studios (where Christian, ½ of Sweet Release, works) and was completed in the labels Essex studio.
This is one of ‘The Fancy Dress Party’s’ quieter moments in their live set and we recommend you experience there more energetic moments live where layers of glocks and drums from the six members creates a cacophony of loveliness.
The Fancy Dress Party prove beauty can come from Essex.

Montage Populaire; "Sounding like the result of ingesting a huge record collection in one sitting, Montage Populaire are ambitious songwriters whose sharp verse/chorus constructions are littered with arty twists that offer snatches of Bowie, Los Campensinos and early Blur high on Syd Barrett." Q Magazine/Glastonbury, Feb 2010
Kites.. "bridge the gap between Joy Division and Donna Summer, existing in curious space between Manchester's Hacienda and New York's Studio 54.” Medina Music
The Unfortunate Incident.. "play a unique rock/country/punk/folk hybrid. Formed in 2008, thet have garnered a reputation as a formidable live act."
