Marc Riley hosts All Shook Up – a brand new, live music series for ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Music – with performances from The Wytches (Wasteybois, Beehive Queen); Jesca Hoop (Pegasi, Born To) and Richard Dawson (The Vile Stuff).

The Wytches have a trophy in their cabinet few can boast of: TOO EVIL FOR PETERBOROUGH! When Kristian, Gianni and Dan formed The Wytches in 2011 they quickly realised they needed to relocate from the sleepy suburb from where they emerged. How could a gnarly cross between Link Wray and Nirvana possibly survive in such a subdued community (no offence)? So the lads jumped into their Wytch-­‐Mobile and headed off to the south coast to join the artistically charged Brighton community from where their thrilling act has gone from strength to strength. One of the great live bands of the moment. File under β€˜Misspent Youth’.

Jesca Hoop grew up in a Mormon community in California. Aged 14 she cut her ties with organised religion and headed off into the wildness. There follows tales of Jesca disappearing into the desert for days, sleeping under a tree for a spell and eventually building a log cabin to live in. All this time Jesca was honing her guitar-­‐playing and songwriting skills... and after an encounter with Mancunian band Elbow in the States, Jesca upped sticks and followed the band to her new home in the North of England. She has a unique talent. Beautiful and often edgy songs.

Having been a familiar face around the pubs and clubs of the north east for many years now it was only in 2014 that Richard Dawson’s unbridled genius really made an impression on the wider music-­‐loving community. His most recent album is called Nothing Important: a groundbreaking masterpiece that includes within it a 16-­‐minute piece The Vile Stuff. It tells the tale of a group of schoolchildren on a school field trip, some of who partake in a mind-­‐bending cocktail of various alcohols. The results are both toe curling, hilarious... and riddled with genius.
