MICHAEL MARRA
Widely acclaimed as one of Scotland’s most talented and original songwriters and performers, Michael Marra produces a combination of humorous, gritty and thought-provoking lyrics which are soaked in the Dundee vernacular. A woodbined voice filtered through a gauze of ragtime blues piano and subtle guitar. An exceptional player, singer lyricist and storyteller who is in equal parts touching, local, quaint, funny, delicate and smart. A true must-see on the Scottish music scene

JO FOSTER
One of the undisputed stars of our Ivor Cutler night back in January 2007, where she joined Michael and others in a joyous rendition of ‘Women Of The Word’ and also the Fence Collective show in November. Jo Foster is a singer-song writer, originally from London but now based in Fife. She is a painter, potter and piano player who writes haunting, captivating and melody strong songs, and recently supported madcap misfits The Aliens on a string of UK dates.
Footnote: she also has the best smile in showbiz, melting our collective wooden hearts in the process…ahhhhh…
