~ Jarmean? ~ Rebecca Hollweg ~ Evi Vine ~
Jarmean? are oneironauts, psycho-geographers, time-travelling troubadours
transporting their audiences across the emptiness of time and space! Their interesting
line-up of tuba, ukulele, drums, clarinet, horns, drums, vocals and live dancer have
already lead them to perform at many European Festivals such as Electric Picnic, London
Burlesque Festival and Sellindge Music Festival. Jarmean? have a dedicated live
following; when they play decadent dressing up and demented dancing are the dish of
the day. Let their music move you without moving as you bask in the beauty of the
band’s home-world, Babylon-don. Babylon-don! Where anarchy and allegory are beaten
into bawdy ballads! With the distinct music hall sound Jarmean? Compared to "Dresden
Dolls” "The Pogues" and "Madness" -they aim to be as much theatre as they are band.
They have already featured on Steve Lamacq's show on BBC Radio 2 and Converse
Music described the band as ‘Blur meets Jack the Ripper’ - so come along to their show
and have fun the old fashioned way - dance and sing to tales that could have been told
today or a 100 years ago....

Evi Vine is a singer/songwriter emerging from the UK’s underground music scene.
Inspired by such diverse artists as Leonard Cohen, the Cocteau Twins, Arvo Part and
Nine Inch Nails, Raw and emotive, Evi’s powerful, but minimalist narrative style is very
much her own. Her voice is described as haunting and other-worldly; her lyrics telling of
isolation, sex, death and alienation. Few performers can consistently deliver such an
impassioned, emotional and hypnotic show as Evi Vine. Her potent and mesmerising live
performances draw the audience into compelled silence. Writing and composing all
original material, Evi Vine provides vocals and lead guitar. EVI has been working for two
years with Steven Hill on drums, the live experience also brings in a selection of guest
musicians on Bass Guitar, Mandolin, Violin and Cello. Past collaborations include
composer Graeme Revell (The Crow, Sin City), Sally Herbert (PJ Harvey, Siouxsie & the
Banshees) Noel Hogan (Cranberries), songwriter Kevin Hunter (Sheryl Crow). Producers,
such as Dave Allen,and Stephen Street. (The Smith, Blur) Evi’s single Drown in Me,
remixed Silencer, was hailed by Judge Jules as one of his top ten singles in 2006.
