KITTY THE LION
'All the potential is there for Kitty The Lion to be one of Scotland's most important bands' - Jim Gellatly Amazing Radio
BEAR BONES
Ben Harrison grew up on Islay, a remote Hebridian island lying off the West Coast of Scotland. Having moved to Glasgow, Ben started working on a new project inspired by his island home and the life he led there.
Bear Bones is the realisation of that project: An 8 piece ensemble of accordion, brass, bells, banjo, strings, drums and voices with a live show that radiates the band's honest charms and perfectly compliments Ben's intimate storytelling.
The band have released two singles to date, "Oil & Lacquer " through Instinctive Racoon Records and “Diving Bell” on Eli & Oz Records. They have supported the likes of Dan Mangan, Admiral Fallow [on their “Boots Met My Face” album launch] and Pete Lawrie and also headlined the prestigious Communion night at The Notting Hill Arts Club in January 2011. They continue to sell out Glasgow’s Captain’s Rest with their own headline shows. Bear Bones are currently completing demos for their next single due for release in March 2012.

CHASING OWLS
BELLA SPINKS
Kitty the Lion are a Glasgow based band who began life as the musical solo project of lovable singer-songwriter Anna Meldrum. Anna has been lucky enough to play across the country over the past few years including a much-lauded performance at DF Concerts' Hydro Connect Festival at Inverary Castle, and a string of support slots including appearances with Duke Special, Amy MacDonald and John Smith.
In 2009 Kitty the Lion was born with the addition of Joe Rattray on upright bass, Callum Wiseman on mandolin and backing vocals, Sorren MacLean on guitar and backing vocals, and Nick Roan on drums. Since then the band have released singles 'Gutted' and 'Lion in the Bed', been tipped as ones to watch on Radio 1 with Vic Galloway, on Jim Gellatly's new music podcast as well as playing on the T-Break stage at T in the Park, Rockness, goNorth, Belladrum and most recently winning 'Hog the Stage' which landed them a slot at Edinburgh's New Year Street Party 2010/11 alongside artists like Newton Faulkner, The Coral and Biffy Clyro.
They have also built dens out of bunk-beds, worn clothing made of tents and leapt from a burning van somewhere on the A9.

CHASING OWLS
Chasing Owls are Ben Sunderland, Callum Bateman, Naomi Black and James Moir. The band met in mid-2010 and almost immediately launched into a characteristically busy live schedule which has since taken in much of the UK and Ireland. Along the way the indie-folk four-piece have supported Ben Howard, Athlete and played shows for Communion. Chasing Owls' live performance sees the intimacy and sensitivity of their recorded material meet with the exciting live energy and enthusiasm that together serves to match their reputation as a necessarily witnessed live act.
