// The Applecart Festival – 03-06-12 – Vic Park LDN//
MUSICThere really is something for everyone’s ears at this year’s Cart from the folk/rock melodies of NOAH AND THE WHALE and STORNOWAY to the maverick pop of ADAM ANT, KID CREOLE and SCRITTI POLITTI and the compelling genius of JOSH T PEARSON. Three acts tipped for greatness who have debut albums out this year include GAZ COOMBES, erstwhile lead singer with Supergrass; velvet voiced jazz soul chanteuse LIANNE LA HAVAS and BETH JEANS HOUGHTON who will have her Hooves Of Destiny in tow. A strong folk bill including BILLY BRAGG, MARCUS FOSTER and BILL WELLS with ex Arab Strapper AIDAN MOFFAT and the unique PENGUIN CAFE also feature on the burgeoning line up. //TICKETS//
