Folklore Presents ... Sea Stacks + Adam Cleaver + The Portraits

Folklore presents....

Sea Stacks is the creation of Davy Berryman. Combining orchestral instrumentations to create wind and string-strafed indie music that produces spine-tingling moments of beauty interwoven with a distinctly dark, sinister tone of lyrics. "Music of startling vigour and freshness" - Tom Robinson Starting in late June 2011 with just a handful of songs and a studio, Davy set out with only one rule, mostly unbroken; that there would be no guitars or pianos used. Seven months, three studios, and nearly forty collaborators later and Sea Stacks was ready to go.

Emerging new talent Adam Cleaver is a London-based folk influenced musician and alongside producer Matt Harris of Veta Records, has developed a melodious sound. Adam is refreshingly unpretentious, movingly poignant; his arrangements in both voice and melody are finely tuned and matured, with a slight delicacy to some of the songs.

The Portraits are an alternative folk duo and were formed in 2005 by husband and wife Lorraine and Jeremy Millington, from Galway and Bristol respectively.

In 2010 their penchant for writing politically charged songs was highlighted by the release of their song ‘Liberty’ for Burma’s democracy icon Aung San Suu Kyi, which was presented to her just after her release from house arrest in 2010. This led to an invitation to play the Glastonbury Festival in 2011, which was extended to the band again for the return of the festival in 2013, when The Portraits played six times. The band return to play Glastonbury for a third year in a row in 2014.
