Skyadaddy Skydaddy is the moniker of London-born Lebanese/Grenadian songwriter-producer/artist, Rachid Fakhre. He has released two mini-albums through his own label Bathtime Sounds as well as albums of his former project, Spang Sisters. This year he will be releasing his debut solo album and will be supporting Geese on their UK shows in the run-up. He (and his band) will be stopping off at The Cube for a very special show midway. “A modern day chamber folk virtuoso redefining musical narratives” - Still Listening Listen/watch: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwchXmpMRGg Mia Wilson Southern California singer-songwriter Mia Wilson (and band) will be gracing the cube with her debut UK performance before going on to play End of the Road Festival. Mia's self titled LP - Produced by Tim Ramsey ( Vetiver, Little Wings, Kacey Johansing ) - blends piano and guitar based compositions with lush orchestral arrangements to create a backdrop for her introspective lyrics and captivating mezzo-soprano vocals. The album recalls the golden glow of late 60’s & early 70’s LA records like Carole King’s Tapestry, Judee Sill’s Heart Food, and Jackson Browne’s Late For the Sky. “Wilson moves across these nine tracks with poise and sophistication, like a well-travelled singer-songwriter who’s long honed their craft” - Shindig!

Not the same tradition as the lineage above — a genuinely different thread to pull, if you want one.
