Live Music - THE OLD TIME WASTER meets THE GUITARMINATOR with special guest PROFESSOR J. BLOOM.
A welcome return to THE OLD TIME WASTER (aka Steve Blake). The Waster was so delighted that his previous gnarly and moody solo set of American Old Time fiddle tunes was observed so attentively and received so graciously that he has decided to return to reward you with a (probably) cheerier and catchier uptempo set with special guests: THE GUITARMINATOR (guitar), and PROFESSOR J. BLOOM (fiddle). THE OLD TIME WASTER will also play some banjo this time so as not to have too many fiddles

Live Music - Puppet Midnight, Raxil4, Caslean
Puppet Midnight aka Stuart Fraser is a Scottish Musician from Aberdeen, based in Edinburgh who has been writing and performing music in bands for over a decade and solo since 2019. Their music can be described as ‘Alternative angular indie punk solo bass with vocals telling tales of burning mattresses, puppets, woodland fires, flying armchairs, animals and Greek mythology amongst other things.’ However, songs can also include the use of the ukulele, spoken word and even the glockenspiel.
Their music has been featured on various podcasts/radio shows (The Watt From Pedro Show, Mr Bear’s Violet Hour, EHFM, Fuzz Bat Gigs Podcast) and thus far they have released two EPs, a remix EP, a standalone single (as part of a compilation for Remembrance For Lost Species 2020), one album plus a release of live stream recordings.
Puppet's latest EP was recorded at Abdie and Dunbog Church, Fife with Pete Harvey (Paul Vickers & The Leg, Song By Toad, Modern Studies) and will be out soon on Fuzz Bat Records. Recently they opened for The Folk Implosion (at the Edinburgh date) on the duo's first UK tour in over 26 years.
raxil4 is multi disciplinary sound artist Andrew Page, specialising in analogue electronic dronescapes, acoustic audio phenomenon and installation. He has performed live all over Europe, many of his performances have been in non traditional venues, often choosing to play spaces with character and interesting acoustic qualities, such as caves, churches, crypts, prison cells, psychiatric hospitals & water towers.
He has also performed live and installed durational works in galleries such as Tate Modern (London), The Barbican (London), The Arnolfini (Bristol), M-HKA (Antwerp), Sonnestube (Lugano), Soundfjord (London) & GV Art (London). Some of his generative pieces have been discussed in classes on composition within the Royal Academy of Music. Over 500 releases from his back catalogue now reside within the British Library Sound Archive.
Caslean is a London-based art-indie meets bubble-pop singer, songwriter, and producer. Influenced by Shibuya-kei, her music merges disco, synth-pop, dream-pop, and delivers a distinct vocal style. She defined her music as ‘Bubble Core’ and ‘Philosophy of Naivety’.
While Caslean typically handles the intricate workbehind the scenes composition, arrangement, and sometimes mixing—she insists on using a simple karaoke set during her performances. This choice allows audiences to immerse themselves in the texture of her voice and appreciate the originality of her production, creating an experience that celebrates the balance between imperfection and sincerity.
