BLIND YEO
Wildly energetic psych offering from out west. This seven piece Cornish ensemble have an ancient, untamed quality to their songwriting - but their cinematic arrangements have a fluorescent and hypnotic spirit live. Following the release of their debut EP with Lost Maps, They’re already confirmed for the Edinburgh, Manchester and Brighton Psych festivals end of next summer, and with the rest of the year starting to fill up 2025 looks to be a big year for them.
The project began in the quiet and solitude of lockdown, before coming alive in a creatively explosive residency at the newly opened Cornish Bank in 2022 – a vibrant not-for-profit community arts space in the centre of Falmouth which has become the heart of a thriving underground Cornish scene of which Blind Yeo are very much a part. The band has since grown into a psychedelic carnival of sound best experienced live.
PICTISH TRAIL AKA Johnny Lynch, has just completed work on a brand-new album — a sticky, shimmering swirl of sound and slime (both metaphorical and literal), Pictish Trail will be celebrating by embarking on a series of special solo shows, previewing songs from the forthcoming release.
These intimate performances will see Lynch armed with just an acoustic guitar, a sampler, and a warped imagination - a raw and exploratory mode - expect tenderness, weirdness, and a generous dollop of goo.
Pictish Trail has toured the world as both headliner and support for the likes of Belle & Sebastian, Pavement, Mogwai, Sea Power, and KT Tunstall. He’s performed at major festivals including Glastonbury (Park Stage), Field Day, Camp Bestival, Deer Shed, Celtic Connections, Blue Dot, the Edinburgh Fringe, and every single edition of Green Man Festival (22 and counting).

Having seen Pictish Trail aka Johnny Lynch a few times, I knew to expect quirk and last night we got it in spades.
Multi-lingual support act Bunty is at her most fluent when layering and looping found sounds, some from musical instruments, using pedals arranged on a tiger skin across an ironing board. This was interesting for a while but she checked if she had 5 more minutes, before doing another 10, then did a "very tiny" encore that went on, frankly, a little bit too long.
The audience were wildly appreciative (this tiny venue - this was my first time here - can't be faulted for its warm and friendly vibe), but I think we had the idea after the first 20 minutes.
Johnny aka PT started his set with a few songs accompanied by just an acoustic guitar, before switching gears and going electric. His eccentricity (the man chooses to live on the Isle of Eigg, for heaven sake) is a key element of his performance style, so we were treated to stories of watching ASMR slime videos during lockdown (inspiring a whole album), the adoption of a false head and much else besides.
Nothing if not entertaining, this was value for money. Tickets less than a tenner, a couple of hours sonic experimentation and a cosy bar. No complaints from me.
