FAIL BETTER PRESENT: Fail Better presents North Sea Radio Orchestra and The Witching Tale
Blending classical composition, folk, minimalism, art rock and electronica, Craig Fortnam’s North Sea Radio Orchestra’s music has been likened to Penguin Café Orchestra, Nick Drake, Frank Zappa, and others, while influences include Ralph Vaughan Williams, Benjamin Britten, Vernon Elliott, Nick Drake, and Cardiacs’ leader Tim Smith.
Their early recordings featured settings of poetry by Yeats, Hardy, Tennyson, and others, but more recently Craig has been featuring his own lyrics. The release of their fifth studio album, Special Powers, garnered the following praise:
_'Their 5th album joins ancient and modern influences, woven and working in harmony to create something graceful and original'_ Electronic Sound
_'When an album finishes leaving you with a broad smile, a far-away expression and a glad heart then you know you’ve been well and truly got. Such are Craig and co.’s Special Powers.' _ Terrascope
NSRO’s Komedia performance promises to be one of the gigs of the year
The Witching Tale: Featuring Katherine Blake (Mediaeval Babes/Miranda Sex Garden) and Michael J. York (Coil/Utopia Strong), The Witching Tale are a psychedelic, folk, goth duo who weave vocals with ambient electronics, recorders, pipes and obscure instrumentation
