----------- THE HYMN SHEET ------------------------
Jesus, Baby!
This show is Scottish Supergroup Jesus, Baby!'s first ever full(ish) gig. Jesus, Baby! are headed up by Davy Henderson (The Fire Engines, Win and The Sexual Objects) who's joined by Carla Easton (TeenCanteen) Marco Rea (The Wellgreen, The Store Keys, Euros Child's band, Stevie Jackson's band); and Roy Moller (solo and The Store Keys). The songs are written by Michael Pedersen. For this event they'll be doing a four song set; this happened once before for Mark Riley on BBC Radio 6 (who marked it as: one of the highlights of my year)- suffice to say, it was spiritual - http://www.leithermagazine.com/2012/07/22/it-takes-five-to-tango.html
Young Fathers
Ol' Dirty chose his moniker because there was no father to his bastard style. Young Fathers earn theirs by making something so fresh it doesn't yet have a name. These are three fellas from Edinburgh who've been working together since they were 14, who have an elastic mind meld that mimics their fused sensibility of sound, who one day locked themselves in a dingy Scottish basement and came out with something that'd never been done a fearless combination of beat, rap and song that smells not only of its dark and dank birthplace, but of discovery and of communion. They are vocalists and perfectionists all three: Alloysious born in Liberia, Kayus raised by Nigerian migrants, and G who also provides the score. Together, they croon like a left-field rock band or a '90s R&B group, or rhyme like scions sent either from the D.A.I.S.Y. age or some dystopic future, and do so over production that pulls as much from ancient African tradition as it does contemporary electronic futurism. They make their own posters and direct their own videos and throw their own shows and all of it is superb because they are telepathic and self-sustaining.If their aesthetic sometimes seems bleak, it's only because the world outside is, and YF are a mirror reflecting our hard truths back. But they are also our imaginations running weird and wild, finding color in dark corners or dancing in light nobody else sees. It should come as no surprise, then, that their debut EP, Tape One, moves both with the unlikely grace of TV on the Radio and the jittery unease of Shabazz Palaces, at times even harking back to the subterranean soul of P.M. Dawn. How did we get here? You're asking the wrong question. Where will we go? Listen and see.
Alan Bissett
Hailing from Falkirk, Alan is not only Daily Record's 46th Hottest Man in Scotland but is also one of the country's finest and most exciting writers. His novels include Boyracers, The Incredible Adam Spark, Pack Men and Death of a Ladies' Man. Post his hit festival show The Red Hourglass he's back with us banging the atheist drum and shaking those lissome limbs.

Kirsty Logan
lives in Glasgow and writes fiction about islands, fairytales, and sex (and often all three). She is currently a writer, literary editor, columnist and book reviewer, while also working on a novel, Rust and Stardust, and a short story collection, The Rental Heart and Other Fairytales. She regularly performs her stories at events and festivals around Scotland; recent performances further afield include London, Copenhagen and Brussels. Her work has appeared in many places, from the prestigious (BBC Radio 4) to the preposterous (her mum's fridge). Say hello at kirstylogan.com.
Michael Pedersen and Kevin Williamson as Holy Hosts will also perform an all new piece responding to the theme.
There will also be a series of short animations.
Back at Jim Lambie's The Poetry Club Neu! Reekie! have found a home under Jim and Jason's watchful eyes.
