What an absolute cracker of a lineup! The spellbinding Honeyfeet are here, plus hip shimmying rhythms from the Odd Beats and DJ Pony bringing big festival vibes.
Songs about eating people, dancing on graves and infidelity… but it’s not all bad news. Manchester’s finest ethio-trad, folk-hop & barrelhouse-pop exponents have the skill, charm and tunes to pull it all together into a joyful, foot-banging sound.
Over the years, Honeyfeet have appeared in concert halls and festivals all across the UK and as far abroad as South America and continental Europe. They have also played live sessions for BBC Radio 4’s Loose Ends presented by Clive Anderson, among other stations. Their debut album, “It’s a Good Job I Love You”, was released in November 2013.

Fronted by the spellbinding Dila Vardar, this Bosphorus-straddling blend of Turkish folk and irresistible Balkan dance beats comes with sinuous hints of Greek Rebetiko, amongst other tasty world music flavours!
