With the arrival of the ‘Music’s Not Dead’ pop-up record store in the upstairs bar at De La Warr Pavillion a whole new opportunity has arisen for up-and-coming bands to showcase themselves in advance of headline acts downstairs in the main hall.
And Saturday’s Sam Calver gig proved just how well this format works, with a collection of young artists playing under the Eggtooth / Incubate banner – all of whom have the potential to hit the big stage some time soon.
Brooke Shorter, Kiana, Blue Lily, Honey Badger, Tom, Bibi & Joe, and Sam Brown each brought something a little different to proceedings and drew in an appreciative crowd that was treated to some terrific songwriting and musicianship.
