Bristol-based quartet (previously knoiwn as Shozzo) comprising songwriter Shaun McCrindle (guitar & vocal), John Slattery on bouzouki & guitar, James Anderson on double-bass, and violinist Paul Meager. Their diverse music could be described as alternative or New Wave folk music. Shaun has been writing songs in Bristol bands for over 30 years and has recorded many albums, and has been described as “Bristol’s very own Jonathan Richman” (Venue magazine). The band’s debut album, ‘Shanti Time’, was recorded last summer in a country house in Devon and is due for release in the Spring of 2025.

PAUL BRADLEY

Bristol's pre-eminent practitioner of totally improvised songsmithery. He has a long and critically-acclaimed career: since his early days performing with Pop God group Me, through his time with Organelles, up to the present day where he can be found on recordings by Otherish and the distinguished instrumental group Three Cane Whale. Paul is like a jazz Tim Buckley, a virtuoso singer and guitar player unlike anyone else you will see.
