A good up and comer this one, played the Tunnels last year and pulled in a decent crowd so hoping for the same again.

Been a busy year for these guys! They were excellent when they last played The Lemon Tree in May and I heard they were on top form at Woodend Barn recently so we're pleased to be welcoming them back.

Thomas seems a popular figure up here and we have him at The Lemon Tree on the 5th October. This will be an interesting one as he has some bizarre self made instruments such as his now legendary "hornicator" and motorized mechanical drum machines. Utilising these he then produces well crafted and touching songs. Tickets can be booked by clicking here, visiting the box office or calling 01224 641122.

Following on from several festival appearances at T in the Park, Wizard, Belladrum and Insider along with support slots with Tynchie Stryder, Arrested Development and Sage Francis, Stanley Odd head out on their own tour in support of second album Rejects.

Going on guesswork here and I'm not in on Thursday to find out but I'd guess WWPJ will be on at around 9.45pm-10pm. Doors at 8pm so Gav Prentice will probably be on around 8.15pm and The Little Kicks 8.45-ish (maybe a bit later). Sorry for being vague but I'd head down sharp to make sure. To give you a bit of a guide, Xcerts were on at 9.30pm last week and the doors for that show was 7.30pm. Get down to see all the bands though as it's a cracking line up!

Support for this one comes from Wilson Gray.
