The Magic Lantern are a 5 piece alt folk band who have taken their time working on a sound inspired by the lyrical directness of folk, the freedom of jazz and the experimental openness of contemporary classical music. The Magic Lantern are members of London’s F-IRE collective and were one of the founders of The Hectic Eclectic Collective with whom they continue to play and collaborate.
They are currently hosting a residency at The Green Note in Camden, London – next date 24 March 2011.

Outshine Family is a collective centred around Matthew Liam Nicholson, an Australian songwriter, composer and horticulturalist with a penchant for devastating melodies and quietly powerful arrangements.  Whether touring as a straight up avant rock band or recording composition pieces with a full orchestra, Outshine Family is the realization of Nicholson’s transcendental vision and a statement of fully realised ambition.

Plus, author and journalist Tim Burrows interviews the musician / artist Edwyn Collins about his current exhibition ‘Nature Punk’, on display until Sunday 6th March at the Idea Generation Gallery .
