James Spankie is a multi-instrumentalist singer, writer and producer whose work on violin and cello, epic cinematic arrangements and driving rhythms resemble something akin to a one-man Arcade Fire.

His self-released debut EP ‘1’ caught the attention of School of Seven Bells, who asked him to support them whilst promoting their ‘Alpinisms’ album. It also caught the attention of Huw Stephens who has given James airtime on Radio 1 as well as hosting him at The Social in London, and at Latitude Festival which he played with a full band including two drummers and a string ensemble.

EP ‘2’ will be available on strictly limited edition white 7” and the usual digital outlets from the 5th December.

Critically fêted across Europe, Adam Donen's songs have been compared to those of Cohen and Brel, yet his style is all his own. He has garnered much praise for his performances and transcendental music that takes you through terror and heartbreak.

Last month saw the launch of his new album, Vampires - a unique fusion of folk, rock, classical, hymnal and performance poetry. The launch, at Kings Place concert hall, featured a 16-piece orchestra, dancers and physical theatre performers.

This intimate show will be your only chance to see Donen in London this year.
