Headline Act: The Ackerleys
It is a year now since Cyrano’s Joe Ackerley teamed up with his sister Alice to form ‘The Ackerleys’ as a side line - turned major project! Already they have a fast-growing repertoire of folk/pop tunes, some light and uplifting, some moody and soulful, but all featuring close harmony, strong chord structure and catchy melody. Joe employs his prodigious song writing skills and his own rich baritone to complement and showcase Alice‘s striking voice. Joe’s roots are in rock music as is well known to many of on the TW music scene, his deep seated influences an unusual mix of Pearl Jam/ Radiohead/ Elbow/Crowded House/Jeff Buckley. His sister Alice, just turned 17, provides a more contemporary vibe – Laura Marling, The Staves, Florence and the Machine, Emmy the Great, Marina & the Diamonds. The result is delightfully different - but judge for yourself. The dynamic duo has now added lead guitar and drums in the form of Steve McCormack, and Matt Wilson.

Kyla and Nat
We have 150 words so we’re going to make this bio as aloof as possible. We’re incredibly different twin sisters, who have been gigging in and around London for the past few years. We don’t take ourselves too seriously and we may not be the most professional of acts but we have a jolly good time up on stage and always have a lot to laugh about by the end of the night. Feel free to come and have a chat with us or if you like our music, we also have our CD ‘Rough And Ready’ on sale at the merchandise stall. For all things K & N related go to our website and for all future events find us on Facebook.
