Eaglefest - Top Line Up

Some info about some the artists performing..

Ariel Sharratt and Mathias Kom of The Burning Hell - expected stage time 9pm*
“As members of Canadian indie darlings The Burning Hell, Mathias Kom and Ariel Sharratt created some of the wittiest and wordiest songs of the last decade or so. Kom’s literary-slacker songwriting and the band’s lo-fi energy saw them touted as natural successors to the Silver Jews, and their hard-touring work ethic earned them a cult following, particularly in Europe. On their first album as a duo, 2015’s Don’t Believe The Hyperreal, they forged a new path as a kind of millennial Lee and Nancy.
Never Work, the duo’s second release away from the Burning Hell moniker, is an album about how employment and production are changing as capitalism destroys itself. Given how fast that change is taking place, there is always the danger of a project like this sounding outdated before it hits the shelves, particularly in light of recent uncertainties. But Kom and Sharratt get around that by creating an imagined future, and imagination is key here: this is a future peopled by utterly believable characters in uncannily recognisable scenarios, but the wealth of artistic and personal detail means these songs are more than just speculative microfictions.
The pair take their cue from folk music, specifically the protest movement. But this is no mere folk revival. There is a lot more going on. The title track sounds, on the surface at least, more like a stripped-back Belle and Sebastian than anything else. It’s a pretty duet of love, nostalgia and anti-establishment arson. Kom’s songs are often full of punchlines, and this one is no different. But it isn’t a cheap trick – the timing is spot-on, and the juxtaposition of sweetness and violence is perfectly judged. The small details make it – the smell of sulfur, the shared hatred of racket sports.” - Klof Mag
 
Willson and Williams - play Eaglesfest a month before going on tour to promote their new 5-Star collaborative album - expected stage time 6pm*
Dan Willson is Scotland's acclaimed singer songwriter Withered Hand. He has released three albums and a number of EPs over the last 15 years and has toured internationally, amassing a devoted following while staying close to his DIY roots in the underground music scene.
Kathryn Williams is a Mercury Music prize nominated English singer songwriter who has released 16 albums. She had collaborated with poet Dame Carol Ann Duffy, author Laura Barnett and written songs with Paul Weller, Neill Maccoll and Michele and Romeo Stodart, to name just a few. She has written a novel The Ormering Tide, hosts her own podcast Before the Light Goes Out and tutors at the Arvon and Moniack Mhor Foundations.
Kathryn and Dan met in 2019 in a Spiegeltent in Edinburgh at a Book Festival event curated by Hollie McNish and Michael Pedersen. They both think it's weird that they hadn't met before as they both share many of the same friends in music, James Yorkston, Rachel Sermanni, Kathryn Joseph etc. Sometimes they think that they might have met at a Fence Collective festival years ago. At least Kath thinks she remembers Dan but Dan doesn't seem to remember much.
