Promoter duo Baccy J n Folio Productions (Along the Watchtower Festival) are back with another cracking gig to kick off our autumn programme.

Truthpaste are a band of five multi-instrumentalists and a trusty computer drum, blending pop, acoustic folk, and electronic music.

They’ll be joined by Lois and The Limes.

Truthpaste
Truthpaste is Esmé Lark (Lead Vocals, Saxophone), Theo Murchie (Guitar, Vocals), Claire Sun (Violin, Vocals), Euan McNeill (Bass, Guitar, Vocals), and James Ballarò (Synth, Lapsteel, Guitar).

Truthpaste arrived with a maturity, slickness and resplendence rarely achieved by bands so early in their career. Tapping into the whimsy of trad-folk, yet carried along by a weighty, almost philosophical sense of reflection…blah blah blah, I love Truthpaste. I love this song. The melody, the chorus, the arrangement, it’s all so…just..beautiful. Simply beautiful. – So Young, Tracks of the Year 2025

Blending the sonic worlds of Richard Dawson, Songs: Ohia and The Books, Truthpaste carve out an image of sentimentality and sincerity all while brimming with promise and potential. – DIY

Lois

LOIS
From finding escapism in dance floors and dark corners to reclaiming her identity and self-liberation, Northern alt-pop riser Lois is taking power back through her music: one two-step at a time. Born in the small seaside town of Morecambe, Lois started songwriting as a way to process some of the difficult experiences she faced at a young age. Between the diary-like confessions of her debut EP ‘Strange Men’ and the bold reclamations of her identity on sophomore project ‘SEVEN’, the Leeds-based songwriter has proven herself as an artist who continues to evolve and change. Exploring themes of Northern nightlife and culture to tongue-in-cheek bitebacks at former lovers, it channels influences from Blondie and Prince to Self Esteem, while creating a sound that’s uniquely her own.

The Limes

The Limes
Dylan Vity, Will Hyde, Sam Winter & George Gaughan; are an Alt/Indie-Rock band making waves with electrifying performances and catchy, melodic songs.

Their singles I’ll Never Let You Down, Mine, Lucy, and The Alien have earned radio play and high praise, while standout live shows at Morecambe Winter Gardens, Love Lancaster Live, and Kanteena have built a loyal fanbase. Champions of local causes, they continue to support charities across Lancaster and Morecambe. 2026 shows no signs of stopping, with festival appearances at Shiiine On, Boundary Beats, The Lune Day Fest, Eden Festival, and Lancaster’s Unsigned Music Festival.
