Having crafted their sound and fan-base from the grassroots up, Glasgow's Admiral Fallow seem poised for the big time, after winning favourite-new-band status across a broad swathe of folk, pop and indie opinion throughout 2011. Matching vividly literate, keenly observed lyrics with big, uplifting melodies and highly sophisticated musicianship, they'll be showcasing material from their forthcoming second album, following major acclaim for debut release Boots Met My Face.

Chemikal Underground signing FOUND are an arts collective/experimental pop band who create an unusual mix of garage rock, melodic pop and glitchy electronica.

Indie-folk newcomers Chasing Owls have already made waves at the NME Weekender Festival and Go North 2011.

At the heart of the festival is the vibrant folk and traditional music scene, with some of the UK and Ireland’s finest musicians set to raise the roof this January.
