Secret Headliner:
We really wish we could announce our Beirut, Shins, Metronomy and Bright eyes influenced secret headliner now, but we can't. They are proper brilliant though and make a beautiful dancey noise with banjo, ukulele, telephone, glockenspiel and Llama nails!
With a shared fondness for all kinds of pop music and nursery rhymes, there's a naïve freshness to their toy-like instruments, and their mellow-yet-uplifting choruses will inevitably get caught in your brain – just throw in some live sampling, a lot of percussion and a dash of electro, and you'll find your hands and feet joining in too.
They went down a storm at Lovebox, Secret Garden Party and the Green Man festival in the summer.
Dear Thief:
Dear Thief will be bringing Captain Beefheart, Shellac, John Coltrane and Pixies inspired sounds to Idle Fret and playing songs from their great debut album Under Archway.
Henry Skewes:
One quiff, one guitar and a heap of great songs in the vein of Roy Orbison, Tom Waits, Hank Williams and Loudon Wainwright. Check out his wonderful song War Waltz and you'll be hooked we reckon.
