Invocal are a four piece acoustic act described as having "dark, gypsy folk tugging from one end, and an all out west end musical tugging from the other". Their songs tell tales of modern life with caustic humour, powerful lyrics and (most days) expert musical prowess. This date is part of the UK tour promoting their acclaimed new album, Uneven Keel. Visit www.invocal.co.uk for more info. "Invocal are four girls with attitude, and the talent to match it. An 'off-the-wall' acoustic band whose bawdy humour, haunting lyrics and great musicianship are winning them many new friends..." Diva Magazine "Invocal have a fierce reputation as a live act...and the lyrics are as sharp and precise as the musicianship." The Rainbow Network "...jaw-dropping three-part harmonies - they don't belt it out, or indulge in Toni Braxton-style vocal gymnastics; instead, their complex and often furiously fast arrangments are choreographed with the precision of Swiss engineering..." Net Rhythms "It's a little bit gypsy, a little bit theatre, a little bit curious and a LOT interesting - these women are very talented" The Muses Muse

- Email: wearegreenspace@hotmail.com
Greenspace are a Newcastle based quartet. 'Greenspace' is their debut album. Strictly limited to 500 copies only and featuring 7 slices of the most arresting angelic atmospherics you'll probably hear for quite a while. Their melodies summon a host of contradiction; where this is turbulence - there is calm, where there is a colourless sparseness there a colourful beauty reigns and where there is pain and abandonment there is love and tenderness.
