**JESS SILK** Jess Silk is a guitarist, singer and songwriter from the Black Country. Her passionate, melodic brand of folk/punk music gets people sitting up and listening. Armed with an increasingly sticker-covered acoustic guitar, heartfelt lyrics and a distinctive, powerful voice, Jess plays to audiences up and down the UK. She released her debut album, Break the Bottle, in May 2018. When the world shut down in 2020, Jess released two self-produced EPs: If We're Damned and There's A Bar At the End Of the World. In August 2021 she released her second full-length album, Blitz Spirit, followed by her April 2025 EP, Old, Broken Isle, recorded at Metway Studios. Jess has appeared at festivals including Bearded Theory, Rebellion, Beautiful Days, Shrewsbury Folk, and Glastonbury, where she shared the Left Field stage with Billy Bragg. She has opened for the Levellers, New Model Army, Bar Stool Preachers, The Men They Couldn't Hang, and Merry Hell, and continues to tour the UK extensively. **THE ACOUSTIC SKRAELINGS** The Acoustic Skraelings are Frag and Molde from the original 4-piece Essex-based band of noise deliverers, with roots in the 70s Punk Explosion. Established in 1990, they blazed a trail across the stages of squatted parties and free festivals. The impending apocalypse saw them reform in 2009, and they have been driving home their Tribal Punk flavour ever since. In 2027 you can expect The Skraelings to deliver their debut album - it will have been worth the wait 🤘
