The Mystery Tent

What? Where? Who? All these questions! The Mystery tent came out of the Clive Parnell solo project. Clive got fed up trying to explain or spell his surname and to be frank if the name Clive was not good enough for C.S.lewis the writer, then it would not work in a rock band. So the collective The Mystery Tent is born in 2006. Clive is seen on stage with different musicians and that's all part of the mystery will there be 1, 2 or even 5?

The Mystery tent have been around a number of Universities and colleges in the UK, played at the IFES oonference in Austria and plan to do another tour in 2008/2009.

Come and enjoy a chilled night of acoustic/indie music.

Jo Mango

We are really pleased to welcome Jo Mango to this year's Forum.

In fact it is amazing we managed to get her to play given her World wide travels. Jo is a Scottish singer-songwriter and multi-instrumentalist who has recently returned home to Glasgow from a year of great accomplishment, traversing the entire globe.

She played for David Byrne (Talking Heads) in front of a sell-out crowd at the Carnegie Hall, New York; entertained hundreds of new fans in Japan; played for the thousands of music industry personnel at 'South By South West' in Texas; and appeared live on Nic Harcourt's celebrated American radio show 'Morning Becomes Eclectic'. (Along the way she even found
herself showing REM's Michael Stipe how to play the Kalimba!)

Jo has run her own record label for several years now and is currently in the studio recording her new album with Adem Ilhan (of Fridge, Fourtet and Adem). Her most recent release 'My Lung' was voted single of the week on BBC Radio 2.

Pull up a bean bag, grab a Hot chocolate and enjoy.

Delirious?

Afternoon tea with delirious?

Why not grab a seat, a piece of floor, or a patch of grass, a cup tea and a nice rich tea biscuit and enjoy Delirious.

Stu G and Martin Smith will be joining us for an intimate acoustic set at this year’s forum.

Having played around the world, and made Albums called “World Service” and “Mission Bell” we reckon these guys have something to say about mission.

This year sees a new release “kingdom of comfort” and we expect the guys to engage us with some thought provoking songs.

It may be the only chance you get to enjoy Delirious’ songs in such an intimate setting, so don’t be slow get the kettle on, and make sure you secure your seat.
