Patti Smith - People Have The Power - Live (Check-In Party 2019)
This is a fantastic opening set number from Patti Smith. I'm happy to report that there are full live sets from 2019 that you can watch on YouTube, but less happy with the overall quality, hence not linking. Your tolerance for wobbly phone camera footage might be greater than mine though, so do take a look.

Fantasy Festival number 6: The lineup
Marika Hackman: Singer/songwriter and multi instrumentalist Marika Hackman released her third album, Any Human Friend, last year and continues to write brooding guitar driven indie folk. You can visit her website here.
Neko Case: Neko case has been making atmospheric Americana since the early 2000's. More recently, she was one third of the supergroup case/lang/veirs. You can visit her website here.
Sharon Van Etten: Sharon Van Etten's fifth album, Remind Me Tomorrow, was one of the highlights of last year, featuring a slightly off kilter synth infused sound and wry songwriting, it should stand the test of time. You can find out more about Sharon over on her website.
Martha Wainwright: Martha Wainwright has not been having a quiet lockdown. In fact, she seems to have embraced the lockdown live and the balcony gig with great enthusiasm, which is nice to see. You can find out more about her on her website.
Patti Smith: The legend that is Patti Smith emerged from the New York underground scene of the early to mid 1970s. 1975's debut Horses was a rock and design classic even at the time, and remains so. Recently, Smith is known as much for her books as for her music, but she is still performing. You can find out more at her website.

Fantasy Festival #2: The Slightly Serious Festival - Lineup
Julia Jacklin: Julia Jacklin is an Australian singer/songwriter from the Blue Mountains, who has lived in Sydney for several years but is currently based in Barcelona. Her debut album, Don't Let The Kids Win, was released in October 2016. She makes catchy folk pop songs, and her voice is ever so slightly reminiscent of a young Kristen Hersh. She has just, in the past two days, played at Latitude, and is right in the middle of a load of European festival dates.
Kelsey Lu: Kelsey Lu is a classically trained cellist who combines sparse highly atmospheric musical compositions with a real stop-'em-in-their-tracks voice. Her back story is an interesting one, and she seems to have been quickly taken under the wing of a number of supportive artists, which bodes well. She has just played the Night + Day Festival in Iceland, and will be playing a series of US dates in the autumn.
The Staves: The Staves are a trio of folk rock singing sisters from London who have released two albums, 2012's Dead & Born & Grown and 2015's If I Was. Recent single 'Tired As Fuck' hinted at a more rock direction for the band, who are not currently touring, and are perhaps working on new material.
Estelle: Estelle, the London singer/songwriter whose musical output cannot clearly be tagged as purely soul when it also includes aspects of R&B, grime, hip hop and areas of dance music, has released four albums and has won several MOBO's plus one Grammy (for her Kanye West collaboration, 'American Boy') she is a musically versatile and commanding performer who performed a lot in 2016, but is not currently touring.
Regina Spektor: Regina Spektor is an American/Russian singer/songwriter who will be playing some UK dates in the next couple of weeks. Although best known for the song 'Samson', her musical output and style is more varied than that particular song would suggest, combining Russian folk elements on one hand and hip hop beats on the other.
Natacha Atlas: Natacha Atlas is an Egyptian-Belgium singer whose early work in the 1990s included collaborations with the global dance band Transglobal Underground. She combines Arabic music and western pop of a number of styles to create everything from atmospheric laments to global dance music. She will be playing two dates in France this year, one in August, one in October.
Patti Smith: The legendary Patti Smith released her debut album, Horses, in 1975 and has been written of as the 'Godmother of punk', thanks to the cataclysmic effect Horses had on a number of artists on both sides of the Atlantic. Since punk, she has continued to be a musical touchstone and inspiration, meaning she has inspired artists as far apart as The Raincoats and Florence + The Machine. She played British Summer Time last year, second on the bill to Massive Attack. She is currently touring Europe.

Fantasy Festival #2: The Slightly Serious Festival
I have realised since creating this poster that I have spelt Natacha Atlas' name wrong. Sorry Natacha.
