Wednesday
- Capsule presents: Grails
evocative, sinuous and unpredictable . Nearly everything written about the instrumental band’s music expounds on how much it reminds listeners of particular experiences, sights, moods or dreams. People react emotionally to the Portland, Oregon quintet’s powerfully evocative songs because they compel us to fill the gap between music and language…

Glasgow band mixing traditional folk with psychedelia and, in lead singer Lavinia Blackwall, have someone with one of the most sweeping, soaring voices imaginable. ‘Brilliant…concise, deeply romantic, totally original 4*s’ (Mojo), ‘freewheeling and delightfully quirky 4*s’ (The Guardian)…

Thursday
- Birmingham Promoters & Kilimanjaro presents: Stornoway / Tom Williams & The Boat / Mr Bones & The Dreamers – The band consists of an ornithologist, a rusty russian translator, and a South African brotherhood. They were first united in a snow-encrusted garage in Oxford, where they instantly attracted the attention of Dr & Mrs Killjoy the neighbours… ‘The songs are uniformly beautiful, and the lyrics have a disconcerting habit of winding you emotionally…Strident, celebratory and roof-raising.’ 4*s (The Guardian)…

Sunday
- Birmingham Promoters presents: Real Estate / Frontier Ruckus / Old School Tie
Real Estate is a psychedelic surf pop band hailing from New Jersey, now based in Brooklyn, N.Y. The band has roots in the Garden State. Think sundrenched, think sentimental, and—yes—think subtle. On Real Estate’s eponymous debut album, fittingly released by buzz label Woodsist, the songs are in no rush. The hooks are there—and enough “uh oh” choruses to have you singing along—but they take their time.

- World Unlimited presents: The Music Room – Stylus Boy / Kevin James Hadley (Yeah Sparrow) / Louise Kilbride
If you want meaningful and poignant song writing without being preached at then look to Stylusboy. It is a renewed innocence filled with hope and light during a dark and hopeless day. Snapshots of one moment in time, some are about a collection of different moments. Stylusboy’s songs are heartfelt, delicate and full of hope…
