THE LOOSE SALUTE TO PLAY FALMOUTH’S GYLLYLIVE MUSIC FESTIVAL 2011
The Loose Salute’s new album, Getting Over Being Under was given a 5-star review in last month’s 247 MAGAZINE, and you can catch them live at Falmouth’s music and culture festival, GyllyLive on Saturday October 1st. Also on the line up: ex-Massive Attack vocalist, Yolanda Quarterly’s band, Phantom Limb, comedian Murray Lachlan Young, local bands and DJs.
The festival is a full-day extravaganza mixing music, poetry, performance and food – all served up against the glorious backdrop of Gyllynvase Beach. The new cultural concoction has been created thanks to a collaboration between the renowned Gyllynvase Beach Café, Barefoot Productions and Rolling Sixes and the collective has created a line-up that mixes fantastic live music with laidback, folksy beach vibes, performance poetry and dance beats that will continue well into the night.
The line-up is also peppered with a range of local artists who are developing their own cult followings. Warming up the evenings will be Kola, a folk collective from this season’s September Festival and Relentless, energetic rock and rolling youngsters who were the runners-up at the recent Mabefest Battle of the Bands. By popular demand Falmouth’s Ice Cold Idiots will also be appearing, fresh from a festival tour with The Vproject and performances at Camp Bestival, Green Man and Port Eliot.
The Loose Salute are partly Cornish, with country-inflected ballads that straddle the line between folk and rock, They have been described as “a country-rock St Etienne” by the Guardian, and “an artistic triumph” by 247. Straight from the launch of their critically acclaimed second album “Getting Over Being Under”, The Loose Salute will bring their laidback West Coast sound to Falmouth’s new festival.
The festival’s marquee events are from 3pm-11pm at Gyllynvase Beach on Saturday October 1st. After that, there will be DJs at Gilly Beach Café until 2am. More info at www.gyllylive.net
