Kadonnut Manner's hypnotic, raw, and cinematic instrumental music invokes vivid imagery in the heads of those who hear it faster than any chemical would. The music draws its influences from John Fahey school of American Primitive Guitar playing, country blues of Skip James and Mississippi John Hurt and Finnish folk music. It expands the country blues form with things borrowed from different folk traditions, 20th century classical music and other inspiring sources, but doesn't require any prior knowledge from the listener, only an open mind.
Lauri Manner (b. 1983, Suomussalmi) is a finnish musician who started out in the 90's playing bass in various finnish underground punk and rock bands. He started his journey in fingerpicking acoustic guitar in 2015 after listening to John Fahey records obsessively for years. More than 300 live shows and 4 albums later this (ex-?)punk rocker has more than enough experience to execute his ideas proficiently, but without losing the rougher edges of self-learnt musicianship and do-it-yourself spirit. Expect lots of open tunings, driving rhythms and a deep journey into unseen worlds created by just one steel stringed acoustic guitar.

Live Music
Perkie - Making punks cry since 2006
Writing songs since primary school and touring as a DIY artist from the age of 16. Perkie releases the subconscious in their writing. A time for reflection, learning, communicating and connecting with others. Her music and words are a cultivation of past and present lives ranging from hopeful and invigorating to haunting and lost. Being with her live is a meditative experience that can leave you with goosebumps. On their latest album A Part Of Everything they ditched their familiar keyboard and picked up a guitar unearthing a wholesome alternative indie folk sound.
Pal - Singing songs about the big questions and the small, funny things in love and life, Pal’s music is an invitation to connect over what feels personal, but is collective. Gentle melodies with mantra- like guitar parts combine with honest and direct observations, bringing into question the dichotomy of soft and powerful, and subverting the gendered stereotypes of confessional song writing.
Lou Moon - lou moon creates an angsty, earthy sound world brimming with natural metaphor, stark imagery and earnest lyrics which explore the intensity of the interplay between mental health and relationships, spirituality and symbolism, vulnerability, and queerness in all its forms.
7.30 doors. Music finished by 10pm
