BABA YAGA

Onstage 21.30hrs

Baba Yaga are an energetic folk fusion band with influences from far and wide – balkan, Americana, funk… We formed in 2017, having started as the wedding band in a performance piece at Kelburn Garden Party, and have been loving festival life ever since. “We are: Mo Ford – lead vocals, Derek Strange – guitar/vocals, Ben Errington – violin/vocals, Conal McIntosh – bass, Ben Sanchez – cajon. Some of our favourite things are 3, 4 and 5 part vocal harmonies. As well as writing an eclectic mix of original material, we enjoy re-working classic songs that get a crowd jumping! We’re recording our first EP and planning our second. We’ve had a lot of fun playing at venues around Edinburgh and the Lothians, as well as at Kelburn, Lindisfarne, Audiosoup and The Meadows festivals. Other notable gigs have included a gin cruise and a bingo Christmas party.
We’re often asked what Baba Yaga means – she’s a witch in Eastern European folklore, who flies around in a mortar & pestle and lives in a house in the forest on chicken legs. Whether she’s benevolent or malicious is unclear. Apologies to our Russian pals for our mispronunciation of her name (which we continue to do!)”

RADIO PACHUCO

Onstage: 21.30hrs

Radio Pachuco began its musical life as a classic swing and jazz band. However, influences of the 1950’s, classic film themes and current music began to inspire the band. Combining their love of old and new music, Radio Pachuco offered up “pop-swing” by remastering modern favourites into vintage style tunes which sit happily alongside jazz standards. Old and young find themselves dancing the night away in their own personal nostalgia. ”
Inspired by the internet sensation Postmodern-jukebox, Radio Pachuco have both covered and arranged a large number of modern songs in vintage swing style. The popularity of this “modern-swing” has seen the band perform at the Corn Exchange, Edinburgh International Conference Centre and as the house band for the premier of Hyena at the Edinburgh International Film Festival.

Their lively set has something for everyone to enjoy – whether you are looking for the classics of Benny Goodman, the guitar solos of Chuck Berry or perhaps, the unlikely swing covers of a cheesy 90s favourite!
The Dead Flowers are one of the most amazing bands on the scene today! Their set list is varied enough and packed full of total bangers that there should be something for absolutely anyone! Not a band to be missed!
