Support on the night is from Tyneside trio Candi’s Dog, who are at the very top of their unique FolkPop game with crisp, upbeat melodies and warming harmonies generously supplying a comforting air of familiarity whilst simultaneously providing a fresh take on the Folk Pop genre. With crystal clear tones combined with bucket loads of untouchable sincerity, the resulting mash up is akin to the likes of Bright Eyes and Fleetwood Mac along with the lyrical qualities of Ed Sheeran and Bob Dylan.
