Sneaky Pete's

Brigid Mae Power is an Irish singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who paints her songs in dreamily expansive strokes, transporting earthly compositions into universal and exultant realms.

“The Two Worlds churns like rough seas, Power’s voice veering between steely warning and piercing transcendence” – THE GUARDIAN

Her self-titled debut on Tompkins Square was a majestic suite of reverb-swathed laments for voice, guitar, piano, accordion, and harmonium, recorded at the Portland studio of key musical foil Peter Broderick. Themes include transformation, change, motherhood, acceptance, strength, courage and trust. In the words of Power, the album is about “trusting if you lose yourself or your way — you can come back”.

Upcoming album The Two Worlds is another masterful collection of effortless, affecting folk, and an album that furthers the songwriter and multi-instrumentalist’s already stellar reputation.

“The Two Worlds is Power’s most ambitious and her most introspective” – PITCHFORK

“The two worlds coexist beautifully here, the soft Power and the raw” – UNCUT

Live, Brigid can encapsulate the timeless magic of her songs either solo or as a duo with Peter. Thus far she has toured throughout Ireland, UK and the US together with artists including Lee Ranaldo, Richard Dawson, Alasdair Roberts, Peter Broderick and Ryley Walker, with performances at Le Guess Who? and TUSK festivals along the way.

Makeness can be mapped to the vast, open hills of Scotland, and a desolate ridge of the same name where producer and songwriter Kyle Molleson arrived after a less-trodden path. His childhood was spent moving between Edinburgh, The Outer Hebrides and South West England, before an interest in music and technology in part led to a degree in Electronics at Leeds University. Here, playing bass in Glad Hand led to numerous trips north of the border to work on albums in the hillside studio he helped build.

Believe presents the best in bass DJs from Edinburgh at his weekly Sunday communion. Always fresh, always free.

This week Sunday Funday coalition session has none other than Sneaks top boy Ben G aka Ben Gallagher. From Afro house to Disco Ben always plays an eclectic lively mix that always goes down a treat at Sneaks.

Resident Believe will be on warm-up from 11pm.

Pre Sneaks Vibes 99 Hanover Street with Syndicate w/ Nick Checketts from 7pm.

Free entry

Shan Fabulist: A singer-songwriter based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Shan started learning the piano at the age of 7, but shortly thereafter stopped taking lessons because he was “quite rubbish”. By the time he decided to write his first song 20 years later, Shan had settled on the guitar as his instrument of choice because it was “much easier”. In 2018, Shan wrote and recorded his debut musical release, a concept EP, entitled ‘V’ which explores themes relating to mental health and the impact of mental illness on relationships. ‘V’ was released on 06/12/2018 and received generally favourable reviews from Shan’s friends and family, “I’m probably a bit biased but think it sounds fab.” – Shan’s Mum.

Spooky Books: Layering arcane fingerstyle guitar below beautifully personal, yet catchy and uplifting melody lines. Spooky Books find a sonic space of his own, reminiscent of Ben Howard with the attitude of The Menzingers.

Jake Poynter: Commonly mistaken for a professional model because of his dashing good looks, Jake is actually a professional musician! He is a veteran of the Edinburgh music scene, playing in several bands through the years including Hold The Suspect, Scotia, and many more! Jake’s band credentials certainly show he’s a team player but for this gig he’s flying solo! We’ll see if he lives up to his CV – “I work well independantly or as part of a team!”

Live fast die yung, Ride gals do it well. Teacha El and Checkyer Strides play 00s rnb and 90s hip hop and put their lighters up.

Pleasure Heads – Falkirk four-piece Pleasure Heads channel the aggressive nature of the seminal Australian post punks into urgent guitar pop songs that propel indie rock into the present day.

Ørmstons – Ørmstons are a 4-piece Indie/Rock band from Leeds. Formed back in January 2016, they have been gigging and writing continuously. They have gained a supportive fan-based around Leeds, Newcastle, Manchester and London, especially since the release of their latest single ‘Mexico City’.

Moonlight Zoo – A primal mix of funky pop, beastly beats & growling riffs punctuated by sensible nonsense sang in three part harmony.

Fiendz – Fiendz are 4 eggs from the Southside who write hard boiled and scrambled punk
