Having sold out his two December 2013 London shows in a matter of days, folk balladeer extraordinaire Nathaniel Rateliff is coming back in early 2014 to treat fans up and down the country to his most extensive tour of the UK yet.

The tour will take in eleven cities and includes a stop off at London’s Dingwalls on 28th January 2014, Nathaniel’s biggest headline show in the capital to date.

The first show, in Belfast, coincides with the release of his incredible second album ‘Falling Faster Than You Can Run’ (out 20th January on Mod y Vi/Thirty Tigers).  Produced by Nathaniel and Jamie Mefford, the album is a stunning collection of eleven frank, heartfelt and astonishingly self-reflective tales of love, life and all the possible pitfalls in between.

As anyone who has ever been lucky enough to catch Nathaniel live will attest, these shows are absolutely not to be missed.

Matthew Caws has been the lead singer/guitarist of the New York based group Nada Surf for almost twenty years. He’s consistently toured the world with the band during this time, but only on rare occasions has he taken the stage solo to perform their catalogue of melodic, soulful pop songs. With the band mostly on hiatus for 2013, and Caws currently living in Cambridge, UK, he recently made his London solo debut at a sold out St Pancras Old Church.

Now Matthew Caws will headline Hoxton Square Bar and Kitchen on Wednesday 5th March 2014 performing songs from Nada Surf and Minor Alps repertoire. This promises to be a very special show.

Communion are very pleased to be bringing Foxes to East Village Arts Club, Liverpool on 24th February as part of her UK tour.

Pop always works best when there’s a beating, sometimes bleeding, heart at the centre of it. The power of the dichotomy of soaring pop melodies anchored by melancholia is something Foxes, aka 22-year-old singer and songwriter Louisa Rose Allen, knows only too well. “I always write melancholy songs but I like happy-sad,” she explains. “Songs that make you feel like everything’s shit at the beginning and then everything’s great by the end. It’s that hope. I’m a big fan of that sort of thing and I think I live my life a bit like that.”

Her collaboration with Zed in Clarity nestled itself happily in the Billboard Top Ten in the US. Youth is also evidence of the fact that while Clarity may have made her a star in the US, she’s keen to prove she also has the songs to do it on her own.

Foxes have an album due early next year 90s triphop-indebted recent single, Echo and collaborations including Jessie Ware.
What’s clear is Foxes will be making even bigger waves in 2014!
