Funked-up folk is what it says on the tin and who could disagree?

Alevare Duo
Alison and Rhiannon play tango, classical and traditional music on the flute and guitar. Cakes, Ale, and the sounds of Alevare = perfect relaxed Saturday night.Rhiannon Sinclair (flute) and Alison Storm (guitar) formed the Alevare Duo in 2004, during their final year at the Ian Tomlin School of Music, Napier University. Since then they have performed together regularly. The duo enjoy playing a varied repertoire, which includes Argentine tangos, traditional Scottish favourites, and classical works by composers such as Faure, Ravel and Granados. Both lovers of the work of the great tango composer Astor Piazzolla, the duo’s name refers to the opening gesture of the tango.

Fletcher
Not so much duelling guitars as a fiery electro-acoustic cocktail. We think Ben and Finn will sound great in the high ceilinged hall at The Lot.Fletcher are an alternative rock electric/acoustic guitar duo based in Edinburgh. Their sound is an original mix of of acoustic finger picking with blistering and atmospheric lead guitar licks. Les Paul and Tanglewood acoustic are paired in a stripped back and a uniquely intense sound. Ben and Finn have been playing together as a two piece since 2007. Many shows around Edinburgh have followed, including a marathon Open Mic night week and have appearances as feature act at both Out of the Bedroom and the Listening Room.
