The band consists of multi instrumentalists David Fendick and Jonny Hooker – the latter being Stockton born and bred – who formerly made up the critically acclaimed Vib Gyor.
 
In their short time together the duo have performed sell out gigs across Europe and built a large and loyal following. This year was the band’s most productive yet as they released two E.Ps to critical acclaim and supported Grammy award-winners Civil Wars on their UK tour.
Their sound takes inspiration from such classic artists as Neil Young, Fleetwood Mac and Simon and Garfunkel and comparisons with more contemporary artists such as Fleet Foxes and Bon Iver.
 
Jonny Hooker from the band said of the festival, “Having grown up in Stockton I’m very aware of how vibrant and diverse the local music scene is and we're very happy to be back in the area playing such an up-and-coming music festival.”

We have assembled a fantastic line up of eclectic, emerging acts and, as is now customary, we have the next generation of exciting Scottish artists making the trip to Teesside.

STORNOWAY + SUPPORT + THE LAST SPECTACULAR
@ Westgarth SC, Middlesbrough - Sun 10th Feb 2013, 7.30pm £13 Adv / £15 Door **Selling fast**
The Oxford quartet are proud to announce they have completed the follow-up to 2010ʼs award winning album Beachcomberʼs Windowsill, which to date has sold over 75,000 copies in the UK. Tales From Terra Firma is due for release in March 2013 and it marks a significant progression from Beachcomberʼs both compositionally, instrumentally and, in particular, lyrically. While beaming with an undeniable sophistication, Tales From Terra Firma retains the unique charm of their debut that entranced so many.
 
A 25-date UK tour in support of the new album includes a return show at the Westgarth SC, the venue for the band’s first date of their first ever tour back in 2009. Tickets are on sale now. The tour concludes at The Forum in London. These will be their first UK headline concerts since their acclaimed, sold-out Somerset House performance in front of an audience of three thousand fans, in August 2011.
 
On 5th December, the band will be taking part in the last of 12 A Room For London sessions, premiering songs from Tales From Terra Firma. A Room for London is a collaboration between Living Architecture and Artangel, in association with Southbank Centre and the London 2012 Festival. Streaming will be via the Guardian. Other artists who have graced the boat on top of the Southbank Centre include Andrew Bird, tUnE-yArDs and Jarvis Cocker.
