There are bands that arrive on the scene with a sound that immediately demands your attention. Saint Clair is exactly that.

Blending driving guitars, soaring melodies and a live show that's built to fill festival stages, they're a perfect fit for Last Train Home.

Whether you're already a fan or discovering them for the first time, make sure they're on your festival schedule.

One you'll be talking about afterwards. You're welcome...

We've teamed up with Sonic Futures to deliver a delicious couple of development opportunities for artists as part of

BBC INTRODUCING LISTENING PANEL
Led by Shakk from BBC Music Introducing in the North East, the panel will feature Jenny Dean from Spark Sunderland’s The New Music Show and Baker Lillivick from CVFM Radio, giving artists the chance to hear directly from the people behind local radio and new music programming.

LYRIC LAB WITH JODIE NICHOLSON
Drawing on her experience as both a songwriter and performer, as well as writing for other musicians and producers, Jodie Nicholson will share practical tools and techniques to help you develop ideas, strengthen your lyrics and find your own voice as a writer.

Both first class opportunities to work on your music and build some new connections in the industry. Bonus points if you head to the festival as well to really immerse yourself in the scene for the weekend 🚂
