Special guests at the Ben Howard Session on September 11 are Femmes de la Mer, a 15-strong crew hailing from across Cornwall. Each individual member brings a unique sound to the group, yet it is their blend of acapella harmonies that has gained them recognition among the folk and sea shanty communities.
Led by musical director Claire Ingleheart, this all-female group sing traditional shanties alongside original material and some alternative takes on ballads of the sea. Their narrative encompasses songs of love, loss and the feisty women of Cornwall.

Joining IDLES at the Sessions on September 18 are Black Honey, a four-piece indie rock band formed in Brighton. They released their blockbuster second album Written & Directed in March 2021 to great acclaim.
Also on the bill are Spectres – a noise rock band from Bristol who over three albums and countless other releases have cemented their reputation as one of the UK’s most visceral and uncompromising acts.
Appearing at the Snow Patrol Session on September 16 is Lucy Blue, a singer-songwriter and producer from Dublin, Ireland, who builds unique musical worlds from wide-ranging influences covering the likes of Frank Ocean and PJ Harvey.
