Also, on Saturday evening, we birng you something special from BLACKHEART

In just four years, since their song 'Unlike Water' was used on the Moben Kitchens TV commercial, British multi-instrumentalist duo Blackheart have recorded three albums, enjoyed air play in nearly every country in the world and played successful tours of UK, Ireland, Germany, the Netherlands plus two headline tours of Australia and New Zealand.

Described in the press as a 'fabulously eclectic psychedelic-folk neo-prog band' [Kensington and Chelsea Today], the male/female duo Blackheart combine traditional acoustic instruments with vocals, effects and an array of ancient synthesizers to create a new brand of avant-garde ethereal folk. In short - don't miss!
